    Abstract: An apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes: a processor configured to perform operations including the steps of: receiving, from a sensor array of an image sensor, data sensed by the sensor array, the sensed data comprising image data and ambient light information; determining whether the image data matches a predetermined exposure criterion; and in response to the image data not matching the predetermined exposure criterion, obtaining the ambient light information from the sensed data; and selectively configuring a new exposure value for a plurality of imaging pixels in the image sensor to capture new image data according to the obtained ambient light information.
