Abstract
Certain aspects relate to systems and techniques for color temperature analysis and matching. For example, three or more camera flash LEDs of different output colors can be used to match any of a range of ambient color temperatures in a non-linear space on the black body curve. The scene color temperature can be analyzed in a preliminary image by determining actual sensor R/G and B/G ratios, enabling more accurate matching of foreground flash lighting to background lighting by the reference illuminant for subsequent white balance processing. The current provided to, and therefore brightness emitted from, each LED can be individually controlled based on the determined sensor response to provide a dynamic and adaptive mix of the output colors of the LEDs.
