Abstract
A system and method are provided for capturing an image with correct skin tone exposure. In use, one or more faces are detected having threshold skin tone within a scene. Next, based on the detected one or more faces, the scene is segmented into one or more face regions and one or more non-face regions. Next, one or more images of the scene are captured. Further, in response to the capture, the one or more face regions are processed to generate a final image.
Claims19
A device, comprising:
- a non-transitory memory storing instructions;
- a camera module;
- and
- one or more processors in communication with the non-transitory memory and the camera module, wherein the one or more processors execute the instructions to:
- detect one or more faces having threshold skin tone within a scene;
- based on the detected one or more faces, segment the scene into one or more face regions and one or more non-face regions;
- cause the camera module to capture two or more images of the scene, wherein a first image of the two or more images is exposed so that a median intensity of the one or more face regions defines a mid-point intensity of the first image, and a second image of the two or images is exposed so that a median intensity of the one or more non-face regions defines a mid-point intensity of the second image;
- and
- in response to the capture, process the one or more face regions to generate a final image.
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- detecting, using a processor, one or more faces having threshold skin tone within a scene;
- based on the detected one or more faces, segmenting, using the processor, the scene into one or more face regions and one or more non-face regions;
- capturing, using a camera, two or more images of the scene, wherein a first image of the two or more images is exposed so that a median intensity of the one or more face regions defines a mid-point intensity of the first image, and a second image of the two or images is exposed so that a median intensity of the one or more non-face regions defines a mid-point intensity of the second image;
- and
- in response to the capturing, processing, using the processor, the one or more face regions to generate a final image.
A computer program product comprising computer executable instructions stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium that when executed by a processor instruct the processor to:
- detect one or more faces having threshold skin tone within a scene;
- based on the detected one or more faces, segment the scene into one or more face regions and one or more non-face regions;
- cause a camera module to capture two or more images of the scene, wherein a first image of the two or more images is exposed so that a median intensity of the one or more face regions defines a mid-point intensity of the first image, and a second image of the two or images is exposed so that a median intensity of the one or more non-face regions defines a mid-point intensity of the second image;
- and
- in response to the capture, process the one or more face regions to generate a final image.
