Abstract
Systems and techniques are described for imaging. For instance a process can include obtaining a first image captured using a first portion of an image sensor. The process can further include obtaining a second image captured using a second portion of the image sensor, wherein the second portion is different from the first portion, determining an image capture setting based on the second image, and applying the image capture setting to the first image.
Claims30
An imaging apparatus, comprising:
- at least one memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled to the at least one memory, the at least one processor configured to:
- obtain a first image captured using a first portion of an image sensor;
- obtain a second image captured using a second portion of the image sensor, wherein the second portion is different from the first portion;
- determine an image capture setting based on the second image;
- and
- apply the image capture setting to the first image.
A method for imaging, comprising:
- obtaining a first image captured using a first portion of an image sensor;
- obtaining a second image captured using a second portion of the image sensor, wherein the second portion is different from the first portion;
- determining an image capture setting based on the second image;
- and
- applying the image capture setting to the first image.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
- obtain a first image captured using a first portion of an image sensor;
- obtain a second image captured using a second portion of the image sensor, wherein the second portion is different from the first portion;
- determine an image capture setting based on the second image;
- and
- apply the image capture setting to the first image.
