Abstract

A method and apparatus for processing an image for enhancing an image quality captured in a low illumination environment is disclosed. The method for processing the image may include estimating motion information based on a base frame among input frames captured using a short exposure time and high ISO sensitivity conditions, removing noise of the base frame using the motion information, and enhancing an image quality of the base frame from which the noise has been removed using a reference frame captured under a long exposure condition.
