A device with image acquisition includes: a first phase mask disposed at a front end of a display layer and configured to modulate external light; the display layer comprising pixel areas between hole areas through which the modulated light that has passed through the first phase mask passes; a second phase mask disposed at a rear end of the display layer and configured to modulate the modulated light that has passed through the first phase mask; an image sensor disposed at a rear end of the second phase mask and configured to generate a raw image by sensing the modulated light that has passed through the second phase mask; and a processor configured to perform image processing on the raw image, based on blur information corresponding to the raw image.

Method and apparatus with image quality improvement

A method includes obtaining, using at least one image sensor of an electronic device, a first image frame and multiple second image frames of a scene. Each of the second image frames has an exposure time different from an exposure time of the first image frame. The method also includes generating, using at least one processor, blur kernels indicating a motion direction of the first image frame using an optical flow network. The method further includes refining, using the at least one processor, the blur kernels using a convolutional neural network. In addition, the method includes generating, using the at least one processor, a target image frame of the scene using the refined blur kernels and occlusion masks for the second image frames.

System and method for motion warping using multi-exposure frames

A method includes obtaining, using at least one image sensor of an electronic device, a first image frame and multiple second image frames of a scene. Each of the second image frames has an exposure time different from an exposure time of the first image frame. The method also includes encoding, using at least one processor, each of the first image frame and the second image frames using a convolutional neural network to generate a corresponding feature map. The method further includes aligning, using the at least one processor, encoded features of the feature map corresponding to the first image frame with encoded features of the feature maps corresponding to the second image frames.
