    Abstract: Provided are systems and methods for determining timestamp information for High Dynamic Range and/or Wide Dynamic Range composite images. For example, an apparatus is provided that comprises an image sensor configured to capture a plurality of sub-frames of a scene, wherein each sub-frame comprises an image of the scene captured using an exposure time that is different from at least one other exposure time of at least one other sub-frame of the plurality of sub-frames. The apparatus is configured to receive, for each of the plurality of sub-frames, sub-pixel image data corresponding to a first portion of an image frame, determine composite image data corresponding to the first portion of the image frame based on values of the received sub-pixel image data for the plurality of sub-frames, identify an indicator based on the sub-frames corresponding to the received sub-pixel image data, and determine timestamp information, based on the identified indicator.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for enhancing an image are described herein. In some aspects, a device comprises a memory unit configured to store a left image and a right image. The left image and right image each depict a same scene from a different viewpoint. The device further comprises a coder configured to retrieve the left image and the right image from the memory unit. The coder is configured to determine a depth map based on a difference in spatial orientation between the left and right image. The device further comprises a processor coupled to the coder. The processor is configured to identify a portion of the left or right image selected by a user. The processor is further configured to determine an enhancement region surrounding the portion selected by the user based on the depth map. The processor is further configured to enhance the enhancement region.

    Abstract: Method and apparatus for reducing random noise in digital video streams are described. In one innovative aspect, the device includes a noise estimator. The device also includes a motion detector configured to determine a motion value indicative of motion between two frames of the video stream, the motion value based at least in part on the noise value. The device further includes a spatial noise reducer configured to filter the image data based at least in part on a blending factor and the noise value. The device also includes a temporal noise reducer configured to filter the video data based on the motion value and the noise value. The device also includes a blender configured to blend the spatial and temporal filtered values to provide a weighted composite filtered output image.
