Systems and methods for enhancing quality of image media (High Dynamic Range HDR)

Patent Pending In an embodiment of the invention, there is provided a method for enhancing quality of image media. The method includes acquiring by a processor, the image media, wherein the image media includes a plurality of image frames. Further, the processor identifies an image frame, from the plurality of image frames whose quality is to be enhanced. The method further, includes isolating a plurality of neighboring frames by the processor, wherein the plurality of neighboring frames has similar properties. Further, the processor forms processed neighboring frames, by moving each pixel of each of the neighboring frame from the plurality of neighboring images to correspond to the image media. Further, this step is repeated for all of the plurality of neighboring frames. These processed frames are stacked and a composite image of enhanced quality is generated. Recommended for Live Photo, Photo Motion-like approaches, where a high-quality photography is extracted from a video. Especially relevant for high frequency videos.
