Claim 0:
1. A method for processing images captured with an image capturing device of an endoscope, the method comprising:
by an image signal processor communicatively coupled with the endoscope:
receiving an image data comprising a plurality of pixels representing an image, the plurality of pixels including pixels in a dark pixel area and pixels in a light pixel area, the pixels in the light pixel area being lighter than the pixels in the dark pixel area;
applying a non-linear scaling model to the image data to form adjusted image data, the non-linear scaling model configured to apply different intensity gains to the pixels in the light pixel area than to the pixels in the dark pixel area;
determining a body cavity type into which the endoscope will be inserted, and
selecting, based on the body cavity type, the non-linear scaling model from a set of non-linear scaling models.
