  • Publication number: 20240373136
    Abstract: This document describes methods and systems for a hybrid white balance, HWB, mode (114), which is a hybrid of automatic and manual WB modes, in a camera system (104) of an electronic device (102). The HWB mode may provide options for a user to select a WB setting, via a camera user interface (118) in a live-preview mode (110), along a continuous WB-adjustment range. In this way, the user's desired color can be applied with respect to images or video captured by the camera system. The camera UI includes a manual WB control (112) to manually adjust the white balance. A WB module (108) determines target WB gains corresponding to the manual WB control relative to an initial automatic WB decision for a current frame displayed in the live-preview mode of the camera application. In aspects, a look-up-table correlating to the manual WB control is used to compute the target WB gains.

  • Publication number: 20240292115
    Abstract: This document describes techniques and apparatuses for automatic white-balance for a camera system. The techniques and apparatuses utilize a precursor image to detect one or more detected faces and determine a tone. The camera system retrieves tonal data based on a group of images determined to contain a same face as the detected face. Based on this tonal data, a difference in white balance is determined based on the difference in tone of the detected face within the precursor image and the associated tonal data. Camera settings are adjusted based on the difference in white balance to enable capture of an image having an improved tone.

  • Publication number: 20240191898
    Abstract: A smart thermostatic system is disclosed that applies one or more of a reinforcement and/or adaptive learning model for a new environment with the trained model from another environment so as to initiate status of a thermostatic device. In one example, the thermostatic system uses a pretrained machine learning model that is transferred from a first thermostatic system to a second thermostatic system in a similar sub-environment. Temperature data and other data collected by the thermostatic device is used to fine-tune and train the pretrained model to learn, predict, and better adjust the operation of the thermostatic system.
