Abstract
The present disclosure proposes a method and an electronic device for detecting glare pixels of an image including an object and an electronic device using the same. The method includes the following steps. First, the image is processed to remove overexposed pixels from the image to generate a first image. The first image is processed to remove non-object pixels from the first image to generate an object pixel image. The glare pixels are detected from the object pixel image according to a saturation distribution threshold and an intensity distribution threshold. The present disclosure is able to adjust the saturation distribution threshold and the intensity distribution threshold dynamically and adaptively to satisfy various kinds of objects and ambient lighting conditions so as to improve the probability of successful detection and reduce the probability of false alarms on the glare pixels.
