Patent ID: 7394488

Claim:
A system which compensates captured images comprising: a photosensor that captures a nonstrobed image under an ambient lighting condition and captures a strobed image illuminated with supplemental illumination; an illumination source actuated to provide the supplemental illumination; and a processor configured to generate a strobed image data corresponding to the strobed image and a nonstrobed image data corresponding to the nonstrobed image, configured to white balance compensate the strobed image data and the nonstrobed image data using a first white balance compensation value corresponding to the supplemental illumination, configured to determine a difference between the strobed image data and the non strobed image data, each data compensated with the first white balance compensation value, configured to white balance compensate the nonstrobed image data using a second white balance compensation value corresponding to the ambient lighting conditions, and configured to add the difference to the nonstrobed image data compensated using the second white balance compensation.
