Abstract
An image capture device may include an image sensor, a processor, and a memory. The image sensor may be configured to obtain an image. The processor may be configured to generate a grid on the image. The grid may include one or more vertices. The one or more vertices may be used to form tiles. The processor may be configured to determine a flare level of each vertex. The processor may be configured to assign a maximum flare level for each tile of the image. The processor may be configured to sort the tiles. The tiles may be sorted based on the maximum flare level of each tile. The processor may be configured to apply a flare compensation to a subset of the tiles to obtain a processed image. The processed image may have reduced flare artifacts or no flare artifacts. The processed image may be stored in the memory.
