摘要:
Techniques related to autofocus for imaging devices and, in particular, to generating reliability values associated with phase autofocus shifts are discussed. Such techniques may include performing a curve fitting based on accumulated phase difference values and phase shifts for phase autofocus images and generating a reliability value for a focus phase shift based on the curve fitting.

An apparatus and methods for estimating a chromaticity of illumination from raw image data. In an embodiment, one or more image chromaticity weight is determined based on a distance between the raw image data in a sensor chromaticity space and a nearest point within a locus of sensor illumination chromaticities. In a further embodiment, one or more image chromaticity weight is determined based on a disparity among normalized color channel values. In certain embodiments, image chromaticity estimates are utilized to determine a white point estimate for the raw image data. In embodiments, an electronic device including a camera estimates the chromaticity value of raw image data captured by the camera as part of an AWB pipeline. The electronic device may further determine, for example as part of the AWB pipeline, a white point estimate based, at least in part, on the raw image data chromaticity value estimate(s).

The invention relates to a method in digital imaging for adjusting exposure, in which one or more exposure parameters (ET, AG) of a camera device are adjusted in connection with imaging. In the method, a histogram formed from a raw image frame (12) is analysed, from which one or more special values (Rhigh, Rlow) are specified and which compared with a target level (Htgt, Ltgt) set for them, and, if a special value (Rhigh, Rlow) differs from the target level (Htgt, Ltgt), the exposure parameters (ET, AG) are adjusted to achieve the target level (Htgt, Ltgt).

The purpose of the present invention is to provide sophisticated AWB technologies. According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a technology for adjusting a white balance of a frame of image data including a plurality of color elements. This technology is characterized by comprising: dividing the frame into a plurality of blocks including a plurality of pixel data; judging, for each of all of or a part of the blocks, whether the block is likely to be grey or not, and; deciding gains for adjusting a white balance using the blocks judged as being likely to be grey.

The invention relates to a method, apparatus, imaging module and program for improving image quality in a digital image. The digital image according to the invention is captured with an imaging module including an imaging optics (101) and an image sensor (102), where the image is formed through the imaging optics (101) onto the light sensitive image sensor (102). According to embodiments of the present invention vignetting effect of the digital image captured with the imaging module (101, 102) is determined and compensated separately for at least two of the primary color components of the imaging module (101, 102).
