Abstract
A method includes obtaining multiple image frames captured during a multi-frame capture operation. The method also includes determining that two or more of the multiple image frames are available for selection as a reference frame, where the two or more image frames are associated with at least two different exposure levels. The method further includes determining whether a moving saturated region is present in the two or more image frames. The method also includes, in response to determining that the moving saturated region is present, selecting an image frame from among the two or more image frames having a first exposure level. In addition, the method includes, in response to determining that the moving saturated region is not present, selecting an image frame from among the two or more image frames having a second exposure level, where the second exposure level is longer than the first exposure level.
