Abstract
An auto flicker detector (AFD) includes a difference generator that generates a difference image representing difference between consecutive frames of at least one pair of captured images from an image sensor illuminated by a light source; and a correlator operatively performed on the difference image to generate correlations associated with a first frequency and a second frequency respectively. A frequency at which the light source flickers is determined according to the correlations.
