Abstract
This application describes an image processing system and method for LED Flicker Mitigation (LFM). An example method involves capturing multiple frames of a scene using an image sensor configured with various exposure settings. Based on the pixel values in the frames, the edges of a changing object may be identified in each frame, which could be a moving object or an LED source. It then determines the object's moving path between two frames captured with different exposure settings. The amount of movement of the changing object is calculated based on this moving path. The system then estimates the likelihood of the changing object being either the moving object or the LED source, based on the amount of movement. Finally, an image of the scene is generated using the captured frames by performing High Dynamic Range (HDR) fusion and LFM, taking into account the likelihood of the changing object's identity.
