Abstract: Devices, methods, and non-transitory program storage devices are disclosed to: obtain an input image; identify a first face in the input image; divide the first face into a plurality of regions; identify obstructions in one or more of the plurality of regions; select a subset of regions, based on the identified obstructions; and determine a white point for the first face based, at least in part, on the selected subset of regions. In some embodiments, obstructions may be identified using a face obstruction detection model (e.g., a logistic regression model trained based on a large dataset of annotated facial images with and without obstructions). The identified obstructions may comprise, e.g., facial hair, head hair, glasses, a facial covering, a head covering, a face mask, or clothing. In some embodiments, a white balancing operation may be performed on the input image based, at least in part, on the determined white point.

Abstract: A vehicle occupant monitoring system, OMS, comprises: an image acquisition device comprising an image sensor and a lens assembly having a varying transmissivity across a field of view of the image sensor; at least one infra-red, IR, light source disposed within a cabin of the vehicle and being configured to illuminate at least one occupant of the vehicle with varying illumination across the field of view of the image sensor; and an image processing pipeline configured to obtain and pre-process an image acquired from the image sensor in accordance with a lens shading map and a cabin illumination map in order to compensate for both the varying transmissivity and the varying illumination in order to provide a more uniformly illuminated image to a controller for further analysis.

Abstract: A method includes operating a remote image capture system within a defined geolocation region. The remote image capture system includes a camera, position orientation controls for the camera, ambient sensors and a control unit. A user of a client device that enters the geolocation region is designated based upon identifying information received from the client device and user facial recognition data. Attributes of the geolocation region are communicated to the client device. An image capture location within the geolocation region is communicated to the client device. The client device is provided a prompt to activate the camera.

The method for adjusting the white balance is applied to the display, and comprises the following steps: identifying image information of a currently played frame image to be adjusted; obtaining a matched target color temperature value according to the image information; and adjusting a white balance parameter of the frame image to be adjusted according to the target color temperature value.

Abstract: A disclosed scaler resource includes a color management module configured to support two or more color space transformations and two or more color temperature adjustment profiles and to receive first pixel data and perform color processing of the first pixel data to produce second pixel data. The color processing includes a color space transformation in accordance with any of the supported color space transformation matrices and a color temperature adjustment in accordance with any of the supported color temperature adjustment profiles. The color processing is configured wherein a ratio of primary colors produced by performing the color processing on first pixel data corresponding to any primary color is independent of the selected color temperature adjustment profile. The color space transformation may be performed before or after the color temperature adjustment. When performed before, the color transformation matrix is modified to reflect the color temperature adjust profile.
