Abstract
A camera device having an image sensor for recording an image and having a control and evaluation unit configured to subdivide the image into first subregions, to find a second subregion in the image with structures of interest, and to carry out a brightness adjustment of the image, wherein the control and evaluation unit is further configured to determine a respective brightness distribution for the first subregions, to determine a selection of those first subregions that correspond to the second subregion, to generate a common brightness distribution of the second subregion from the brightness distributions of the first subregions of the selection, and to use the common brightness distribution to carry out the brightness adjustment for the second subregion.
