Abstract

A method and apparatus for optimizing image quality based on scene content comprising a sensor for generating a sequence of frames where each frame in the sequence of frames comprises content representing a scene and a digital processor, coupled to the sensor, for performing scene content analysis and for establishing a window defining a number of input frames from the sensor and processed output frames, and for aligning and combining the number of frames in the window to form an output frame, wherein sensor parameters and frame combination parameters are adjusted based on scene content.
