A method and system are disclosed. The method may include determining a histogram of intensity values for pixels in image sensor data in which the histogram is bimodal. The method may include determining a breakpoint between the two modes. The histogram may include a first distribution of intensity values below the breakpoint and a second distribution of intensity values above the breakpoint. The method may include generating output intensity values. Generating output intensity values may include compressing the first distribution of intensity values of the pixels with intensity values below the breakpoint, stretching the second distribution of intensity values of the pixels with intensity values above the breakpoint, and generating an output image based on the output intensity values.
