Abstract:

A method and apparatus for night lapse video capture are disclosed. The apparatus includes an image sensor, a processor, a denoiser, and an encoder. The image sensor is configured to capture image data. The image data includes a first image that is temporally precedent to a second image. The processor is configured to process the image using an image processing pipeline. The denoiser is configured to perform denoising based on a motion estimation that is based on a comparison of a portion of the first image and a portion of the second image. The encoder is configured to encode the denoised image in a video format. The encoder is configured to output a video file in the video format.
