Abstract
Disclosed are systems, apparatuses, processes, and computer-readable media for processing image data. One illustrative method of processing image data includes: capturing a first image of a subject using a variable aperture lens configured with a first aperture and a first exposure value; capturing a second image of the subject using the variable aperture lens configured with a second aperture and a second exposure value, wherein the second aperture is smaller than the first aperture and the second exposure value is smaller than the first exposure value; and generating a high dynamic range (HDR) image at least in part by fusing the first image and the second image fusing the first image and the second image.
