Abstract:
1. An imaging camera unit, arranged to form part of an image-capturing camera system, comprising: a user-interface for specifying at least one indication of a geometric position of an object of user preference in a captured image received from an imaging sensor via an input; a user-adaptable object segmentation unit for determining a set of pixels being part of the object based on the indication; a color composition monitor unit for determining at least one statistic based on at least one color property of pixels in the set of pixels; an object transformation unit for applying a transformation to the at least one color property of the pixels in the set of pixels and applying a different transformation to at least one color property of pixels outside the set of pixels based on a user specification of a user supplied to the object transformation unit via a transformation interface unit; and a capturing optimization unit configured to capture an under-exposed image of the object and an over-exposed image of the object, display the under-exposed image, the over-exposed image of the object and a plot of image parameters versus position, wherein positioning a first cursor on an image position one of the under-exposed image and the over-exposed image automatically displays a second cursor on the plot at a plot position corresponding to the image position.
