Abstract
Embodiments relate to identifying locations in an image where a green ghost is likely to occur by processing a raw version of the image. A block of pixels in the raw image is extracted and then each pixel value in the block is compared with a threshold value of a corresponding color channel. The compared results are then processed to generate bright light information for the block, indicating whether the green ghost is likely to be present at a location of the image diagonally opposed to the location of the block in the image relative to an optical center of an image sensor. By processing the raw image without subsequent processing prone to introducing artifacts and creating false positive, a likely location of the green orb or green ghost may be more accurately identified.
