Adaptive acquisition control includes obtaining a processed image by an image capture apparatus, which includes, a target exposure component that obtains a target exposure value in accordance with target exposure input data, an aggregate gain component that obtains a target aggregate gain value and a remaining gain value in accordance with aggregate gain input data, an auto-exposure compensation component that obtains an auto-exposure compensation tone curve in accordance with auto-exposure compensation input data, a contrast control component that obtains a contrast control tone curve and a contrast control black point value, and a tone control driver that obtains a tone control tone curve and a tone control black point value, and an image signal processor that processes the current input image in accordance with the tone control tone curve and the tone control black point value to produce the processed image.
