An image processing system receives a sequence of frames including a current input frame and a next input frame (the next input frame is captured subsequent in time with respect to capturing of the current input frame). The image processing system stores a previously outputted output frame. The previously outputted output frame is derived from previously processed input frames in the sequence. The image processing modifies the current input frame based on detected first motion and second motion. The first motion is detected based on an analysis of the current input frame with respect to the next input frame. The second motion is detected based on an analysis of the current input frame with respect to the previously outputted output frame. According to one configuration, the image processing system implements multi-sized analyzer windows to more precisely detect the first motion and second motion.

An image processing method, including: receiving image content and metadata of the image content, the metadata content comprising flag information indicating whether to perform image processing on the image content and image processing information; determining whether to perform the image processing for each frame based on the flag information; performing, in response to determining to perform the image processing for an image frame, the image processing based on the image processing information on the image frame; and outputting the image processed image frame on which the image processing is performed.

A camera system includes a first microphone, a second microphone, and a microphone controller. The first microphone and the second microphone are configured to capture audio over a time interval to produce a first captured audio signal and a second captured audio signal, respectively. The second captured audio signal is dampened relative to the first captured audio signal by a dampening factor. The microphone controller is configured to store the first captured audio signal in response to a determination that the first captured audio signal does not clip. In response to a determination that the first captured audio signal clips, the microphone controller is configured to identify a gain between the first captured audio signal and the second captured audio signal representative of the dampening factor, amplify the second captured audio signal based on the identified gain, and store the amplified second captured audio signal.

A method of reducing noise in an input image by setting, as a local window among color pixels included in the input image, a target pixel and neighboring pixels adjacent to the target pixel, determining color pixel values for the target pixel and each of the neighboring pixels included in the local window, generating local color average values are generated by averaging, color by color, the color pixel values, generating offset color pixel values by converting the color pixel values of the target pixel and the neighboring pixels based on the local color average values, and generating a compensated color pixel value of the target pixel by adjusting the color pixel value of the target pixel based on the offset color pixel values.

A transitory storage unit transitorily stores pixel data output from an imaging unit. A development processing unit outputs video data obtained by performing development processing including demosaicing processing on the pixel data stored in the transitory storage unit. An output control unit switches between a first recording mode in which only the video data out of the video data and the pixel data is used as recording data and a second recording mode in which the video data and the pixel data are used as the recording data. In addition, the output control unit controls the imaging unit to perform imaging with different exposure values between the first recording mode and the second recording mode.

According to a preferred aspect of the instant invention, there is provided a system and method that allows the user to remove stationary and not stationary short time interference signals in speech or other recordings in the audio part of a video recording. The system is automatically analyzing the input signal and in a plurality of individual steps detects the interference signal and removes it accordingly.

A transitory storage unit temporarily stores pixel data output from an imaging unit. A development processing unit outputs video data obtained by performing development processing including demosaicing processing on the pixel data stored in the transitory storage unit. An output control unit switches between a first recording mode in which only the video data out of the video data and the pixel data is used as recording data and a second recording mode in which the video data and the pixel data are used as the recording data. In addition, the output control unit controls the imaging unit to perform imaging with different exposure values between the first recording mode and the second recording mode.
