Automatic Camera Exposure Control

چکیده
It is commonplace to use digital video cameras in robotic applications. These cameras have built-in exposure control but they do not have any knowledge of the environment, the lens being used, the important areas of the image and do not always produce optimal image exposure. Therefore, it is desirable and often necessary to control the exposure off the camera. In this paper we present a scheme for exposure control which enables the user application to determine the area of interest. The proposed scheme introduces an intermediate transparent layer between the camera and the user application which combines the information from these for optimal exposure production. We present results from indoor and outdoor scenarios using directional and fish-eye lenses showing the performance and advantages of this framework.

متن کاملQuantigraphic Imaging: Estimating the camera response and exposures from differently exposed images
Multiple differently exposed pictures of the same subject matter arise naturally whenever a video camera having automatic exposure captures multiple frames of video with the same subject matter appearing in regions of overlap between at least some of the successive video frames. Almost all cameras have some kind of automatic exposure feature. Generally automatic exposure is center weighted, so ...

Abstract For many years the Brightness Constancy Constraint Equation (BCCE) has been used for optical flow and related computer vision computations. However, almost all cameras have some kind of automatic exposure feature such as Automatic Gain Control (AGC), so that the overall exposure level of the image varies as the camera is aimed at brighter or darker portions of a scene. Moreover, becaus...
