Abstract
A glare detection apparatus for detection of at least one glare region within an image includes a processing unit configured to aggregate image pixels of the image having a high luminance intensity to bright image areas within the image and to calculate for image pixels around each bright image area gradients expected in case of a glare and actual gradients and configured to increase a glare diameter of a glare region around the respective bright image area as long as the calculated actual gradients match the calculated expected gradients.
