Abstract

Systems and methods generate a projected image at an optimal exposure time. Images are captured different exposure times. Pixels that satisfy an intensity threshold percentage for each image are selected. The intensity values of the selected pixels are then evaluated to determine whether the selected pixels are distributed above a lower intensity threshold and below an upper intensity threshold. The linear relationship is projected to determine an optimal exposure time that has an optimal exposure time duration that exceeds each exposure time duration associated with each of the captured images when the linear relationship exists between each of the captured images. A projected image associated with the optimal exposure time is generated from one or more of the captured images.
