Abstract

A method includes obtaining, using at least one image sensor of an electronic device, a first image frame of a scene. The method also includes using a convolutional neural network to generate, from the first image frame, multiple second image frames simulated to have different exposures. One or more objects in the scene in each second image frame are aligned with one or more corresponding objects in the scene in at least one other second image frame and are aligned with one or more corresponding objects in the scene in the first image frame. The method further includes blending the multiple second image frames to generate a final image of the scene.
