Abstract
An auto-exposure module determines a first set of exposure parameters to acquire a first image. The first image is acquired using the first set of exposure parameters. The module determines a target image histogram; calculates an image histogram based on intensity values of the pixels of the first image; determines an integral of the image histogram and of the target image histogram for a range of pixel intensity values; calculates a transfer curve for transforming the integral of the image histogram to match the integral of the target image histogram; calculates a slope of a line fitting at least a portion of the transfer curve; determines a correction factor based on the calculated slope; and adjusts the first set of exposure parameters according to the correction factor. A second image is then acquired using the adjusted first set of exposure parameters.
