Object-of-interest image capture

A means for object-of-interest image capture, comprising:

• a means for capturing a current image;
• a means for setting an exposure value that determines a local exposure value from a local luminance reading of pixels within an object region of an object-of-interest of a previous image;
• a means for local luminance determination that generates the local luminance reading;
• a means for locating the object region of the object-of-interest in the current image;
• and
• a means for calculating a contrast measurement of the object region and identifying the current image as having an optimized object region when an iteration measure meets a criterion wherein the local exposure value is determined from a sum of absolute differences (SAD) of luminance readings of adjacent pixels within the object region.

An electronic device for object-of-interest image capture, comprising:

• an electronic device for capturing a current image;
• and
• a processing function that includes
• an exposure value setting function that determines a local exposure value from a local luminance reading of pixels within an object region of an object-of-interest of a previous image;
• a local luminance determination function that generates the local luminance reading;
• a locating function that locates the object region of the object-of-interest in the current image;
• and
• a calculation function that calculates a contrast measurement of the object region and identifying the current image as having an optimized object region when an iteration measure meets a criterion wherein the local exposure value is determined from a sum of absolute differences (SAD) of luminance readings of adjacent pixels within the object region.
