Abstract

A plurality of instances of image data can be analyzed, and favored aspects of each instance identified and utilized in generating an enhanced output image. For example, a plurality of instances of image data can be analyzed to identify metric values associated with each pixel location, such as contrast, saturation, and exposedness. A weight map corresponding to each metric is generated for each instance of image data, each weight map indicating a value for the metric at each pixel location of the instance of image data. The weight maps associated with each instance of image data are merged, and a Gaussian pyramid of the merged weight map for each instance of image data is determined along with a Laplacian pyramid for each instance of image data. The Gaussian pyramids and Laplacian pyramids are merged into a Laplacian pyramid, which is then collapsed to form an enhanced output image.
