1. A method, comprising:
acquiring image frames with a plurality of image frame sources configured with different acquisition settings, including acquiring a first set of image frames with a first image frame source through a first lens, the first set of image frames being acquired with a low resolution and a high frame rate, and acquiring a second set of image frames with a second image frame source through a second lens, the second set of image frames being acquired with a high resolution and a low frame rate;
searching the first set of image frames and the second set of image frames to produce one or more parameters to correct a parallax error between the first set of image frames and the second set of image frames;
processing the image frames based on the different acquisition settings and the one or more parameters to generate at least one final image frame; and
outputting the at least one final image frame.
