Abstract:
1. A non-transitory program storage device comprising instructions stored thereon to cause one or more processors to: capture a first digital image of a scene using a first exposure value; obtain image statistics for the first digital image; determine a measured exposure value of an identified face in the digital image based, at least in part, on the image statistics; determine a measured exposure value of the scene based, at least in part, on the image statistics; determine a target exposure value of the identified face based, at least in part, on the image statistics; determine a target exposure value of the scene based, at least in part, on the image statistics; determine an overall measured exposure value based, at least in part, on the measured exposure value of the scene and the measured exposure value of the identified face; determine an overall target exposure value based, at least in part, on the target exposure value of the scene and the target exposure value of the identified face; and adjust the first exposure value to create a second exposure value based, at least in part, on the overall measured exposure value and the overall target exposure value.
