Image capture with adjustment of imaging properties at transitions between regions

A method for capturing an image of a scene by using an imaging assembly, wherein the imaging assembly has spectral sensitivities which are tunable in accordance with a capture parameter, the method comprising:

• applying a first capture parameter to the imaging assembly in a first region of the scene;
• applying a second capture parameter to the imaging assembly in a second region of the scene;
• capturing the image of the scene by using the imaging assembly whose spectral response is tuned in accordance with the first capture parameter in the first region of the scene and in accordance with the second capture parameter in the second region of the scene;
• and
• displaying a preview of the captured image of the scene, wherein the scene is captured with a first capture parameter for the imaging assembly in a first region of the scene and a second capture parameter for the imaging assembly in a second region of the scene, and
• displaying a user interface to adjust a transition of the capture parameter at a boundary between the first region and the second region.

An apparatus that includes an imaging assembly for capturing an image of a scene, wherein the imaging assembly has spectral sensitivities which are tunable in accordance with a capture parameter, the apparatus comprising:

• a computer-readable memory constructed to store computer-executable process steps;
• and
• a processor constructed to execute the computer-executable process steps stored in the memory;
• wherein the process steps stored in the memory include computer-executable process steps to:
• apply a first capture parameter to the imaging assembly in a first region of the scene;
• apply a second capture parameter to the imaging assembly in a second region of the scene;
• capture the image of the scene by using the imaging assembly whose spectral response is tuned in accordance with the first capture parameter in the first region of the scene and in accordance with the second capture parameter in the second region of the scene;
• and
• display a preview of the captured image of the scene, wherein the scene is captured with a first capture parameter for the imaging assembly in a first region of the scene and a second capture parameter for the imaging assembly in a second region of the scene, and
• display a user interface to adjust a transition of the capture parameter at a boundary between the first region and the second region.
