HIGH FRAME RATE IMAGE PRE-PROCESSING SYSTEM AND METHOD

Described herein is an image pre-processing system and method. One embodiment provides a method () including: at step (), receiving a plurality of images captured at a first frame rate, the plurality of images captured under at least two different image conditions; pre-processing the plurality of images by: at step () identifying one or more regions of interest within the images; at step (), performing a visibility measure on the one or more regions of interest; and, at step (), selecting a subset of the plurality of images based on the visibility measure; and, at step (), feeding the subset of images to an image processing pipeline for subsequent processing at a second frame rate that is lower than the first frame rate.
