Abstract
A method and apparatus for object-of-interest image capture accomplishes the functions of capturing () a current image, determining () an object region of the object-of-interest in the current image, calculating () a contrast measurement of the object region, and identifying () the current image as having an optimized object region when an iteration measure meets a criterion. The current image is captured using a local exposure value determined from luminance readings of pixels within an object region of an object-of-interest of a previous image.
