Abstract
Methods and systems for predicting brightness of a scene are disclosed. The predictions are used to set exposure settings of an imaging sensor, such as exposure time or sensor gain. In one aspect, a method include capturing an image with the imaging sensor, determining a pan direction of the imaging sensor, predicting a brightness of a next image based on the pan direction, adjusting a gain or an exposure time of the imaging sensor based on the brightness prediction, and capturing the next image using the adjusted image sensor gain or exposure time.
