Abstract
Techniques to temporally filter images via a filtering weight computation are disclosed. A first image having a first timestamp and a second image having a second timestamp are acquired. These images are generated by a camera, and the first timestamp is before the second timestamp. A motion compensation (MC) operation is performed on the first image to produce an MC image. A difference image is generated using the MC image and the second image. The difference image reflects differences in intensities that exist between the two images. A local weight map is generated based on those differences. A global weight map is generated based on certain IMU data. A final weight map is generated based on a combination of the local weight map and the global weight map. The final weight map is used to generate a filtered image.
