Embodiments of the present invention disclose a system and method for reducing noise in a digital image. The method comprises calculating a spatial weight for each pixel s in a current frame, wherein said spatial weight is computed based on a summation of diffused values associated with the pixel s; and selectively filtering an intensity I of the pixel s spatially using said spatial weight.

Method and system for three-dimensional noise reduction and contrast enhancement of images

Systems and methods for implementing array cameras configured to perform super-resolution processing to generate higher resolution super-resolved images using a plurality of captured images and lens stack arrays that can be utilized in array cameras are disclosed. An imaging device in accordance with one embodiment of the invention includes at least one imager array, and each imager in the array comprises a plurality of light sensing elements and a lens stack including at least one lens surface, where the lens stack is configured to form an image on the light sensing elements, control circuitry configured to capture images formed on the light sensing elements of each of the imagers, and a super-resolution processing module configured to generate at least one higher resolution super-resolved image using a plurality of the captured images.

Capturing and processing of images including occlusions focused on an image sensor by a lens stack array

A method for generating a panoramic image is disclosed. The method comprises simultaneously capturing images from multiple camera sensors aligned horizontally along an arc and having an overlapping field of view; performing a cylindrical projection to project the captured images from the multiple camera sensors to a cylindrical images; and aligning overlapping regions of the cylindrical images corresponding to the overlapping field of view based on an absolute difference of luminance, wherein the cylindrical projection is performed by adjusting a radius for the cylindrical projection, wherein the radius is adjusted based on a scale factor and wherein the scale factor is calculated based on a rigid transform and wherein the scale factor is iteratively calculated for two sensors from the multiple camera sensors.

Cylindrical panorama

A method for generating a panoramic image is disclosed. The method comprises performing a cylindrical projection to project multiple camera images to cylindrical images, as a first step; and aligning overlapping regions of the cylindrical images, as a second step.
