Abstract
An image apparatus () for providing an adjusted image () of a scene () that includes an photo-emissive object () includes an apparatus frame (), a capturing system (), and a control system (). The capturing system () captures a raw captured image () of the scene (). The control system () identifies a captured photo-emissive object () in the raw captured image (). Further, the control system () can perform a different level of image compensation on the captured photo-emissive object () than on other portions of the captured image (). Stated in another fashion, the control system () can perform a first level of white balance correction on at a first region (A) of the captured image () and can perform a second level of white balance correction on a second region (B) of the captured image (). With this design, the control system () can provide the adjusted image () having a more uniform and acceptable white balance correction.
