Abstract
Disclosed is a method of and apparatus for dynamically and adaptively controlling system control parameters (SCPs) in a multi-mode image capture and processing system, wherein (i) automated real-time exposure quality analysis of captured digital images is automatically performed in a user-transparent manner, and (ii) system control parameters (e.g. illumination and exposure control parameters) are automated reconfigured based on the results of such exposure quality analysis, so as to achieve improved system functionality and/or performance in diverse environments.
