Adaptive auto white balance

摘要

An imaging system generates a gain for a component of an image format. The gain is at least partially dependent on the brightness of the light source illuminating a scene when an image of the scene was generated. The gain can be used to correct the component of the image format for the color shift in the image caused by the light source. In some instances, the imaging system generates a gain for a plurality of the components of the image format or for all of the components of the image format. The gains can be used to correct the components for the color shift in the image caused by the light source.
