Abstract
A method for processing an image. The method comprises receiving intensity values for each of a plurality of images captured by an image sensor during a detection window. The method comprises identifying, using the intensity values, one or more transitions occurring during the detection window, the one or more transitions each comprising a transition between an image in which a maximum clipping criterion is not satisfied and an image in which the maximum clipping criterion is satisfied. The method comprises, based on the identified transitions, at least one of: adjusting an exposure level of the image sensor; and determining a tonemapping function having a tonemapping strength, and applying the tonemapping function to the intensity values of a current image to generate tonemapped intensity values, wherein the image sensor has a current exposure level when the current image is captured.
