Abstract
An image capture application captures a sequence of images via a digital camera. The sequence of images may have undesirable levels of blurriness due to the motion of objects in the field of view of the digital camera or due to movement of the digital camera itself. A deblur engine within the image capture application generates image segments within one of the captured images, where a given image segment includes pixel values that move coherently between different images in the sequence. The deblur engine then deblurs each image segment based on the coherent motion of each different image segment and combines the resultant, deblurred image segments into a deblurred image. Advantageously, blurriness caused by the combined effects of moving objects and camera motion may be reduced, thereby improving the ability of a digital camera to provide high-quality images. As such, the user experience of digital photography may be enhanced.
