Abstract
A method and a system for image correction are provided. The system includes an image processor that performs the method for image correction when receiving an input image. In the method, an overexposed area within the image is determined. The channel values of pixels in the overexposed area are applied with corresponding weights. An automatic white balance process is performed on the channel values of pixels in the overexposed area according to an expectation of low saturation in the overexposed area. Besides a first channel value of each of the pixels, a second channel value and a third channel value of the pixel can be estimated according to the channel values of periphery pixels. A correction value overexposed of the first channel value of the current pixel can be calculated according to the corresponding weights of the pixels in the overexposed area.
