Abstract
The disclosed technology relates to image-capturing methods. In one aspect, a method includes receiving an image frame comprising a plurality of pixels and subtracting foreground pixels from the image frame to obtain background pixels. The method additionally includes determining an exposure condition for a next image frame based on at least a subset of the background pixels. The method further includes adjusting the foreground pixels such that a difference between a background luma value and a foreground luma value of the next image frame is within a predetermined range. Aspects are also directed to apparatuses configured for the methods.
