发明名称 Exposure controller
摘要 An image sensor provides a first image with a first exposure and a second image with a second exposure. An exposure controller sets the first exposure in dependence on pixel intensities of at least one of the images. It sets the second exposure in dependence on a factor and the first exposure. The factor is determined in dependence on pixel intensities of at least one of the images.

主权项 1. An exposure controller for controlling an exposure of a plurality of pixels of an image sensor, the image sensor providing a first image having a first exposure and a second image having a second exposure, the first image and the second image being in a time sequence of images captured by the image sensor, the exposure controller being arranged to: set the first exposure in dependence on pixel intensities of one of the time sequence of images; determine pixel populations in a shadows zone, a midtones zone and a highlights zone of one of the time sequence of images; calculate a factor in dependence at least in part on the pixel populations of the shadows zone and the highlights zone relative to the pixel population of the midtones zone; and set the second exposure in dependence on the factor and the first exposure.
