Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for selectively capturing, retaining, and combining multiple sub-exposure images or brackets to yield a final image having diminished motion-induced blur and good noise characteristics. More specifically, after or during the capture of N brackets, the M best may be identified for combining into a single output image, (N>M). As used here, the term “best” means those brackets that exhibit the least amount of relative motion with respect to one another—with one caveat: integer pixel shifts may be preferred over sub-pixel shifts.
