Abstract

A system, method, and computer program product are provided for capturing digital images. In use, an ambient image comprising a plurality of ambient pixels and a flash image comprising a plurality of flash pixels is captured, via a camera module. Next, at least one de-noised pixel based on the ambient image is generated. Additionally, a resulting image is generated by combining the at least one de-noised pixel and a corresponding flash pixel. Additional systems, methods, and computer program products are also presented.
