Abstract:
A white balance correcting apparatus and a white balance correcting method are provided. A white balance correcting apparatus includes a white balance corrector configured to divide an input image into a plurality of blocks, determine, using a reference color temperature line, adjusted color temperatures of blocks included in a white area among the plurality of blocks, and calculate red (R) and blue (B) gains to which different weights are applied according to the adjusted color temperatures of the blocks.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a white balance method for performing a shading compensation, and more particularly, a white balance method for performing a shading compensation, in which a white balance control is initiated for an input image captured when a camera is driven, and then the shading compensation is performed together during a process of performing the initiated white balance control. The white balance method for performing a shading compensation includes executing a white balance for adjusting a color temperature of an input image, extracting a shading gain table corresponding to the color temperature among pre-stored shading gain tables for each color temperature during the execution of the white balance, executing a shading compensation for an image for each block of the input image by using the extracted shading gain table, and terminating the white balance.
Abstract:
Provided are a defogging system and a defogging method. The defogging system includes: an illuminance sensor configured to detect a surrounding illuminance; a level determiner configured to determine a defogging level of the input image based on the detected surrounding illuminance; and a defogger configured to determine a fog state of the input image based on a histogram of the input image, and adaptively defog the input image according to the determined fog state and defogging level.
