A distribution of first pixel values in a first image space associated with a first region, which corresponds to the object in the current image frame, is determined. Based on the distribution, the current image frame is transformed to a modified current image frame that includes at least a second region that corresponds to the first region and is associated with second pixel values in a second image space.
