Method for estimating camera settings adaptively
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for adaptively determining camera settings, comprising the steps of:
- acquiring a current image of a scene with a camera including a plurality of sensor elements, the camera having a current set of camera settings while acquiring the current image;
measuring, from the current image, a number of sensor elements having a set of desirable properties; and
determining a next set of camera setting that maximize an overall number of sensor elements having the set of desirable properties.

Abstract
A camera is configured to adaptively determine camera settings. The camera includes a plurality of sensors elements configured to acquire a current image of a scene according to a current set of camera settings. A number of sensor elements having a set of desirable properties is measured. Then, a next set of camera settings that maximize an overall number of sensor elements having the set of desirable properties is determined to acquire a next better image.
