Abstract
An image capture system including a statistics module. An image processing module is configured to receive image data corresponding to a plurality of pixels of a captured image, wherein the image data includes respective locations of each of the plurality of pixels, and implement an image processing pipeline configured to modified image data. The statistics module is configured to gather a plurality of sets of statistics using the image data and the modified image data, each of the sets of statistics corresponding to a different one of a plurality of zones within the captured image. To gather the statistics, the statistics module is further configured to determine, based on the respective location of a first pixel, a first zone of the plurality of zones that the first pixel is located in, and store data in a corresponding set of statistics for the first pixel based on the determined first zone.
