Claim One:
1. An image capture system, comprising: an image processing module configured to (i) receive image data corresponding to a plurality of pixels of a captured image, wherein the image data includes respective locations of each of the plurality of pixels within the captured image, and (ii) implement an image processing pipeline configured to perform an image processing operation on the image data to generate modified image data; a statistics module configured to receive the image data corresponding to the pixels of the image, receive the modified image data from the image processing pipeline, gather a plurality of sets of statistics using (i) the image data corresponding to the pixels of the image and (ii) the modified image data, each of the sets of statistics corresponding to a different one of a plurality of zones within the captured image, wherein, to gather the plurality of sets of statistics, the statistics module is further configured to (i) receive a first pixel of the plurality of pixels of the image, (ii) determine, based on the respective location of the first pixel, a first zone of the plurality of zones that the first pixel is located in, and (iii) store data in a corresponding set of statistics for the first pixel based on the determined first zone; and a control module configured to adjust respective pixel values of each of the plurality of pixels of the captured imaged in the plurality of zones based on respective ones of the plurality of sets of statistics.
