Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Systems and methods for simulating an image exposure capture a first set of images of a scene; and generate a flash preview image based on the first set of images, an estimated scene spectral reflectance, an estimated spectral power distribution of the scene, and one or more flash device settings, wherein the flash preview image approximates a brightness and a color appearance of a final image of the scene captured while the scene is illuminated by a flash device according to the one or more flash device settings.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An image capturing device comprising: a display unit configured to display an image; a light sensor configured to capture a first image of a scene while the scene is illuminated by a flash device according to first flash device settings and to capture a second image of the scene while the scene is not illuminated by the flash device; and one or more processors configured to cause the device to estimate a scene spectral reflectance of the scene based on…
