Weighted normalized automatic white balancing
Abstract:
In order to more accurately white balance an image, weightings can be determined for pixels of an image when computing an illuminant color value of the image and/or a scene. The weightings can be based at least in part on the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) of the pixels. The SNR may be actual SNR or SNR estimated from brightness levels of the pixels. SNR weighting (e.g., SNR adjustment) may reduce the effect of pixels with high noise on the computed illuminant color value. For example, one or more channel values of the illuminant color value can be determined based on the weightings and color values of the pixels. One or more color gain values can be determined based on the one or more channel values of the illuminant color value and used to white balance the image.
