Abstract
A method for automatic exposure (AE) control is provided that includes receiving statistics for AE control for an image from an image signal processor (ISP) coupled to an image sensor generating the image, computing an exposure value at a current time t (EV(t)) using a cost function based on target characteristics of an image, wherein computation of the cost function uses the statistics, and computing AE settings for the image sensor based on EV(t).
