Abstract

A first image frame is gathered. The first image frame, a first white balance value, and a first exposure value are stored. Information is sensed from an inertial sensor. A second image frame and intermediate image frames are gathered. A distance traversed by a camera is determined. In response to one or more of: the distance exceeding a predetermined threshold, or a new white balance value significantly differing from a previous white balance value, or a new exposure value significantly differing from a previous exposure value, a second white balance value and a second exposure value are determined for the second image frame. A smoothed white balance value and a smoothed exposure value are determined for the intermediate image frames.
