Abstract
This disclosure provides systems, methods, and devices for image signal processing that support blending images. In a first aspect, a computing device may receive a first image frame and a second image frame. The second image frame may be captured with a smaller aperture than the first image frame. The computing device may determine that a spotlight is depicted within the first image frame and determine, based on the spotlight within the first image frame, a blending mask for the first image frame and the second image frame. A third image frame may be determined that blends the first image frame and the second image frame according to the blending mask to include at least one visual artifact caused by the spotlight within the second image frame. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.
