The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for automatic exposure control. The methods may include obtaining a first frame and a second frame of a current scene from a camera, wherein a ratio of a first exposure time of the first frame to a second exposure time of the second frame is a first exposure ratio; obtaining a first average luminance of a brightest region in the second frame; obtaining a second average luminance of a darkest region in the first frame; and determining a dynamic range of the current scene based on the first exposure ratio, the first average luminance, and the second average luminance.
