Abstract

In an example embodiment a method, apparatus and computer program product are provided. The method includes facilitating receipt of two or more images of a scene, where the two or more images are associated with different capture parameters. The method includes determining intensity gains at corresponding pixel locations of at least one image pair of the two or more images. The method further includes generating a blended image by blending pixels of images of the at least one image pair based at least on the intensity gains. A pixel associated with a pixel location of the blended image is generated by blending pixels associated with the pixel location of the images of the at least one image pair.
