Embodiments of the present invention relate to systems and methods for
minimizing motion clutter in image-generation devices.
Temporally-interleaved image-subtraction reduces the magnitude of motion
clutter and has no adverse effect on the desired ambient-light
cancellation of static images. Embodiments of image-generation devices
employing temporally-interleaved image-subtraction include single,
double, triple, and series accumulator configurations. All four
embodiments allow synchronization with scene illuminators and may be
implemented on a single electronic chip. Temporally-interleaved
image-subtraction is particularly well suited for use in video
eyetracking applications where ambient light and scene motion can cause
significant problems.
