A METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR GLARE DETECTION

摘要

A glare detection apparatus (1) for detection of at least one glare region within an image, said apparatus comprising a processing unit (3) configured to aggregate image pixels of said image having a high luminance intensity to bright image areas within said image and to calculate for image pixels around each bright image area gradients expected in case of a glare and actual gradients and configured to increase a glare diameter of a glare region around the respective bright image area as long as the calculated actual gradients match the calculated expected gradients.
