Disclosed is an image processing method employing a post processing technique that may eliminate flicker artifacts from captured video in real time. An example method involves receiving from an image sensor a sequence of input frames representing a scene and identifying and tracking a light source represented within the input frames. Flickering of the light source may be identified by detecting frame to frame color characteristic variation of a region representing the light source. A sequence of output frames may be generated with the flickering removed by selectively modifying image data of pixels within the region.

Flicker mitigation via image signal processing

A method of rectifying stereo images includes providing a plurality of pairs of sets of keypoints extracted from a pair of current stereo images and from a pair of previous stereo images wherein each pair of stereo images includes a left image and a right image respectively obtained from a left camera and a right camera; providing a plurality of pairs of sets of next-choice-match points extracted from the pair of current stereo images and the pair of previous stereo images; finding one or more anchor points in a left previous image; finding a right linking point which is the corresponding keypoint in the right previous image, and a left linking point which is the corresponding keypoint in the left current image; finding a closing point; and calculating a cost from the right linking point, the left linking point, and the closing point.
