    Abstract: An auto-exposure (AE) control system, includes a camera configured to capture an input image, a region of interest (ROI) determination circuit configured to determine a ROI of the input image, a depth decoder and an AE controller. The depth decoder is configured to generate a depth map of the input image and determine a decode rate value according to the depth map of the input image and the ROI of the input image. The AE controller includes an exposure adjustment circuit which is configured to receive a decode rate value and the detection result and sequentially adjust a plurality of the exposure parameters according to the variation of the decode rate value. A step size for adjusting the plurality of the exposure parameters is determined according to the variation of the decode rate value and the detection result.

    Abstract: A high-dynamic-range (HDR) detecting system includes a camera module comprising an image sensor; and a vision module that receives data generated by the camera module and accordingly transmits feedback to the camera module. The camera module comprises a multiple-exposure unit that provides different exposure settings, according to which a plurality of images are captured by the image sensor. The vision module comprises an object detection device that detects objects in the plurality of images, thereby resulting in object detection results as metadata.
