IMAGE SENSOR APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR COLOR CORRECTION WITH AN ILLUMINANT-DEPENDENT COLOR CORRECTION MATRIX

摘要

An image sensor apparatus is disclosed. The image sensor apparatus includes an image sensor for generating pixel data corresponding to a scene under a scene illuminant. The image sensor apparatus also includes a memory for storing color correction information corresponding to a subset of candidate illuminants. A color correction module in the image sensor apparatus derives an illuminant-dependent color correction matrix based on the color correction information corresponding to the subset of candidate illuminants and applies the illuminant-dependent color correction matrix to the pixel data to generate a color corrected digital image.
