Abstract
A digital camera is equipped with signal processing circuits that achieve white balance by calibrating CCD detector outputs to a non-standard target, such as the palm of a person's hand or a camera lens cover. The calibration technique avoids the necessity of using a standard target to calibrate the digital camera under field use conditions.
