Correction of color tinted pixels captured in low-light conditions

Abstract

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to color correction in image processing pipelines. An example method may include receiving first image data corresponding to reference luminance data and reference chrominance data for each of a plurality of pixels, determining that the first image data corresponds to a raw image captured in a dark environment, generating second image data by performing one or more tone mapping operations on the first image data, the second image data corresponding to current luminance data and current chrominance data for each of the plurality of pixels, and generating output image data. For each pixel of the plurality of pixels, the output data may include an output luminance value of a corresponding pixel of the current luminance data, and chrominance values of the corresponding pixel from a selected one of the reference chrominance data and the current chrominance data, the selection based at least in part on the reference chrominance data and the current chrominance data.
