US Patent 11341623 High dynamic range image processing with noise reduction

Image analysis and processing may include a first sensor readout unit configured to receive first Bayer format image data, a second sensor readout unit configured to receive second Bayer format image data, a first Bayer-to-RGB unit configured to obtain first RGB format image data based on the first Bayer format image data, a second Bayer-to-RGB unit configured to obtain second RGB format image data based on the second Bayer format image data, a high dynamic range unit configured to obtain high dynamic range image data based on a combination of the first RGB format image data and the second RGB format image data, an RGB-to-YUV unit configured to obtain YUV format image data based on the high dynamic range image data, and a three-dimensional noise reduction unit configured to obtain noise reduced image data based on the YUV format image data.
