    摘要: Flare compensation includes obtaining a dark corner intensity differences profile between a first and a second image based on a relative illumination of an area outside a first image circle of the first image and a second image circle of the second image. The dark corner intensity differences profile is obtained for a luminance (Y) component. A flare profile is obtained using an intensity differences profile and the dark corner intensity differences profile. The intensity differences profile is obtained for the Y component along a stitch line between the first image and the second image. The flare profile of the Y component is converted to an RGB flare profile. The first image is modified based on the RGB flare profile to obtain a processed first image.

    摘要: An image capture apparatus may include an image sensor, a motion sensor, and an auto-exposure unit. The auto-exposure unit may obtain an input image captured during an exposure interval and corresponding motion data indicating motion of the image capture apparatus during the exposure interval. The auto-exposure unit may obtain image information-amount data for the input image. The auto-exposure unit may obtain derivative information-amount data based on the information-amount data and a candidate exposure adjustment. The auto-exposure unit may obtain an information-amount maximizing exposure interval based on the information-amount data and the derivative information-amount data. The image capture apparats may control the image sensor to obtain a subsequent input image signal representing a subsequent input image captured during the information-amount maximizing exposure interval, and output or store information representing the subsequent input image.

    摘要: Image signal processing includes generating an exposure compensated image based on a gain value applied to an exposure level of a first image and a gain value applied to an exposure level of a second image. The gain value may be progressively increased from an approximate center of the first image to an edge of the first image to a common exposure level. The gain value may be progressively decreased from an approximate center of the second image to an edge of the second image to the common exposure level. Gain values may be scaled on each color channel for a pixel based on a saturation level of the pixel.

    摘要: Image analysis and processing may include using an image processor to receive image data corresponding to an input image, determine an initial gain value for the image data based on at least one of a two-dimensional gain map or a parameterized radial gain model, determine whether the initial gain value is below a threshold, determine a maximum RGB triplet value for the image data where the initial gain value is below the threshold, determine a pixel intensity as output of a function for saturation management, determine a final gain value for the image data based on the maximum RGB triplet value and the pixel intensity, apply the final gain value against the image data to produce processed image data, and output the processed image data for further processing using the image processor.

    摘要: Systems and methods are disclosed for non-linear color correction. The method including receiving an input image from an image sensor, converting the input image from a red, green, blue (RGB) color space format to an alternate color space format, determining localized hue correction parameters for a selected color in the alternate color space, determining localized saturation correction parameters for a selected hue in the alternate color space, applying the localized hue correction parameters and the localized saturation correction parameters to the input image to generate an output image and storing, displaying, or transmitting the output image based on at least the localized hue correction parameters and the localized saturation correction parameters.
