Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of automatic white balance adjustment method, particularly a kind of light source according to different-colour is adjusted the automatic white balance adjustment method of white balance.The present invention can be applicable on image processor or the method.
Background technology
(human visual system HVS) for the adaptation of prismy color change, is that the mankind have a specific character to the human visual system, and this specific character is perception one white surface and it is used as pure white under the light source condition of different-colour.In order to imitate human visual system's adaptation, when all digitized video sense control assemblies will be obtained digitized video, must have method for controlling white balance and realize human digitized video at the similar image that really perceives at that moment.
Fig. 1 is the flow chart of steps of the method for controlling white balance of a traditional use total image, at first, sets an initial white balance and sets, shown in step S10.Secondly, shown in step S12, obtain an image according to this white balance setting.Shown in step S14, obtain the average RGB value of total image.Shown in step S16, use the average RGB value of total image to calculate white balance information.
Shown in step S18, use white balance information to decide the light and shade situation of current white balance state around whether realistic.Shown in step S20, set if need not change current white balance, then program is back to step S12 and obtains a new image, otherwise execution in step S22 then.Shown in step S22, if showing, the result who is determined need select a new white balance state, then set a new white balance and set.At last, program is back to the step that obtains a new image and carries out step thereafter.
Fig. 2 is the flow chart of steps of the method for controlling white balance of another traditional use white pixel, at first, sets an initial white balance and sets, shown in step S40.Secondly, shown in step S42, obtain an image according to this white balance setting.Shown in step S44, find out the white pixel in the image.Shown in step S46, obtain the average RGB value of white pixel.Shown in step S48, use the average RGB value of white pixel to calculate white balance information.
Shown in step S50, use white balance information to decide the light and shade situation of current white balance state around whether realistic.Shown in step S52, set if need not change current white balance, then program is back to step S42 and obtains a new image, otherwise execution in step S54 then.Shown in step S54, if showing, the result who is determined need select a new white balance state, then set a new white balance and set.At last, program is back to the step that obtains a new image and carries out step thereafter.
Though above-mentioned two method for controlling white balance of commonly using are widely used, they distinctly have some shortcomings.In first method, when obtained scenery, when for example being the scenery in the setting sun, forest or blue sky, in these scenery, has the color of some master controls, and when the white balance information of using the total image RGB decides current white balance state, can cause incorrect white balance to judge.The result can make image be corrected and have identical average RGB value and seem nature.In the second approach, when the white pixel number that is found does not surpass the certain ratio of overall number of pixels, and when the white balance information of using the white pixel RGB decides current white balance state, be difficult to obtain correct result.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is provides a kind of method for controlling white balance for addressing the above problem, its integrate traditional control method in two and add the program that strengthens and form a kind of more perfect and more can accurately react around the method for controlling white balance of light and shade situation.
Method for controlling white balance provided by the invention is at first set an initial white balance and is set.Secondly, obtain an image, obtain both average RGB values of total image and white pixel according to this white balance setting.Use both average RGB values of total image and white pixel to calculate white balance information respectively.Again secondly, use the white balance information of total image and both RGBs of white pixel to decide the light and shade situation of current white balance state around whether realistic.Need select a new white balance state if the result who is determined shows, then set a new white balance and set.At last, program is back to step and the execution step thereafter that obtains a new image.
