Abstract
A method, a system, and a computer program product for applying a white balance correction to an image data captured by a camera sensor based on a current level of ambient color. The method includes capturing, via a camera sensor, image data of a scene. The method further includes contemporaneously measuring, via a light color sensor, an amount of ambient color. The method further includes calculating a determinant value that represents a magnitude of variance of colors in the scene. The method further includes in response to determining the determinant value is less than a determinant threshold: generating a white balance correction based at least in part on the measured amount of ambient color and applying the white balance correction to the image data to generate a corrected image data having colors that more accurately represent colors in the current scene.
