Abstract:

The technical problem of automatically reprocessing an image captured by a camera in a manner that produces a personalized result is addressed by providing a customized image reprocessing system powered by machine learning techniques. The customized image reprocessing system is configured to automatically reprocess an image on a pixel level using a machine learning model that takes, as input, the image represented by pixel values, sensor data detected by the digital sensor of a camera at the time the image was captured, and, also, flash calibration parameters previously generated for that specific user.

International Classification:

H04N 5/235
H04N 5/232

Abstract:

The technical problem of enhancing the quality of an image captured in low light conditions by a front facing camera is addressed by providing an adaptive front flash system. An adaptive front flash system automatically adjusts configuration parameters of an overlaid view that operates in lieu of a front flash, termed a front flash view. The configuration parameters are adjusted based on characteristics of the output of the digital image sensor of the front facing camera. Examples of configuration parameters of the front flash view include one or more of brightness of the display, color temperature of the front flash view, and transparency of the front flash view.
