1. An adaptive imaging method for generating enhanced low-intensity light video of an object for medical visualization, comprising:
acquiring, with an image acquisition assembly, a sequence of low light video frames depicting the object;
receiving a sequence of reference video frames;
assessing relative movement between the image acquisition assembly and the object based on the reference video frames;
adjusting a level of image processing of the low light video frames based at least in part on the relative movement between the image acquisition assembly and the object; and
generating a characteristic low light video output from a quantity of the low light video frames, wherein the quantity of the low light video frames is based on the adjusted level of image processing of the low light video frames, wherein generating the characteristic low light video output comprises determining a sum of pixel intensities of the quantity of the low light video frames on a region-by-region basis, wherein generating the characteristic low light video output further comprises dividing the sum of pixel intensities by the square root of the quantity of the low light video frames.
