Abstract:
An image acquisition method operates in a hand held image acquisition device with a camera. A first image of a scene is obtained with the camera at a nominal exposure level. A number of relatively bright pixels and a number of relatively dark pixels within the first image are determined. Based on the number of relatively bright pixels, a negative exposure adjustment is determined and based on the number of relatively dark pixels, a positive exposure adjustment is determined. Respective images are acquired at the nominal exposure level; with the negative exposure adjustment; and with the positive exposure adjustment as component images for high dynamic range (HDR) image of the scene.

Claim (Index 1):
An image acquisition method operable in a hand held image acquisition device with a camera comprising:\n a) obtaining a first image of a scene with the camera at a nominal exposure level; b) determining a number of relatively bright pixels within said first image; c) determining a number of relatively dark pixels within said first image; d) determining based on said number of relatively bright pixels a negative exposure adjustment; e) determining based on said number of relatively dark pixels a positive exposure adjustment; and acquiring respective images at said nominal exposure level; with said negative exposure adjustment; and with said positive exposure adjustment as component images for high dynamic range (HDR) image of the scene.
