Abstract

A system and method for optimizing a video stream from a high frame rate image sensor. The high frame rate video stream is split into two separate video streams so that one video stream can be shown to a user or recorded, while the other video stream can be processed. The processed video stream can be analyzed for sharpness to adjust for focus or it can be imaged with or without an optical filter and used to enhance the appearance of the other video stream.
