Claim One:
1. A computer-implemented method of correcting for backlighting in images on a display device, the method comprising: receiving, at one or more processors, image data corresponding to at least one image captured by a camera; detecting, using the one or more processors, a region of interest within the image; detecting, using the one or more processors, a position and size of the region of interest within the image; calculating, by the one or more processors, luma values within the region of interest; determining, by the one or more processors, whether to brighten the region of interest, based at least in part on the calculated luma values, comparing the determined luma values to preset luma values, and comparing the captured image to at least one previously captured image; brightening, using the one or more processors, the region of interest, by revising at least some of the luma values of the received image data; smoothing the brightened region of interest based, at least in part, on feedback associated with one or more adjustments made to the at least one captured image; producing, using the one or more processors, a second image by blending the brightened region of interest with the remainder of the image to, wherein blending comprises spatially smoothing the brightened region of interest from a first through a second zone, using a raised cosine function having a continuous derivative; and displaying, under control of the one or more processors, the second image on a display device.
