Abstract
According to one embodiment, an auto white balance adjustment system includes a first color judgment gate generation unit and a second color judgment gate generation unit. The second color judgment gate generation unit defines a color-temperature range subject to a white balance adjustment for each light source. The color judgment gate switch unit switches between the first color judgment gate and the second color judgment gate, as a reference for selecting pixel data used for calculating the white balance gain.
