Classification: CPC H  G | IPC G  H

Claim 0:
1. A method comprising:
performing lens mode auto-detection by an image capture apparatus, wherein lens mode auto-detection includes:
obtaining predicate lens mode data;
obtaining probable lens mode data, wherein obtaining the probable lens mode data includes:
obtaining a current image, wherein obtaining the current image includes:
obtaining a current input image from an image sensor of the image capture apparatus;
obtaining a spatially reduced image representative of the current input image; and
using the spatially reduced image as the current image;

obtaining one or more lens mode detection metrics by analyzing the current image; and
generating the probable lens mode data in accordance with the lens mode detection metrics;

obtaining a lens mode score in accordance with the predicate lens mode data and the probable lens mode data;
determining whether the lens mode score is greater than a defined lens mode change threshold; and
in response to determining that the lens mode score breaches the defined lens mode change threshold, outputting lens mode data.
