Apparatuses, systems, and methods for managing auto-exposure of image frames based on signal region size

A method comprising:

• identifying, within a first image frame captured by an image capture system using a first auto-exposure parameter, a first region including first pixels that satisfy a first auto-exposure related condition;
• changing, based on one or more characteristics of the first region, both the first auto-exposure parameter to a second auto-exposure parameter and the first auto-exposure related condition to a second auto-exposure related condition;
• and
• identifying, within a second image frame captured by the image capture system using the second auto-exposure parameter, a second region including second pixels that satisfy the second auto-exposure related condition.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed, direct a processor of a computing device to perform a process comprising:

• identifying, within a first image frame captured by an image capture system using a first auto-exposure parameter, a first region including first pixels that satisfy a first auto-exposure related condition;
• changing, based on one or more characteristics of the first region, both the first auto-exposure parameter to a second auto-exposure parameter and the first auto-exposure related condition to a second auto-exposure related condition;
• and
• identifying, within a second image frame captured by the image capture system using the second auto-exposure parameter, a second region including second pixels that satisfy the second auto-exposure related condition.
