Abstract

A method for controlling an autoexposure function of a camera to a gray level setting, the method including exposing an imaging device of the camera for a first exposure duration and obtaining a first gray level of the imaging device of the camera, exposing the imaging device of the camera for a second exposure duration within the first exposure duration and the maximum exposure duration and obtaining a second gray level of the imaging device of the camera, determining whether the first gray level and the second gray level are upward-trending from the first exposure duration to the second exposure duration and if the first gray level and the second gray level are determined to be upward-trending, interpolating for a target exposure duration based on the gray level setting, the first exposure duration and the first gray level.
