US 2014/0152848 A1 · TECHNIQUE FOR CONFIGURING A DIGITAL CAMERA

Abstract

A camera tuning engine within a digital camera includes a machine learning engine that generates a configuration file for the digital camera based on raw images captured by the digital camera. The digital camera implements a set of rendering algorithms that render trial images from the raw images based on parameters included in the configuration file. A training engine within the camera tuning engine then compares the trial images to target images provided from an external source. Based on differences between the trial images and the target images, the training engine adjusts weight values within the machine learning engine. By performing this process iteratively, the training engine trains the machine learning engine to generate a configuration file that may be used by the digital camera to render images that are similar to the target images.
