    Abstract: A method of compression includes compressing a captured image from a first bit-depth at which it was captured to a second bit-depth that is less than the first bit-depth. The compression comprises applying, according to a power curve, a first compression amount to a first region of the captured image having a first pixel value; and applying, according to the power curve, a second compression amount to a second part of the captured image having a higher second pixel value, wherein the first compression amount is lower than the second compression amount.

    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and techniques to receive, at one or more processor associated with an image signal processing (ISP) pipeline, a compressed image generated by an image sensor, wherein the compressed image is captured at a first bit-depth associated with the image sensor and is compressed to a second bit-depth that is lower than the first bit-depth, and wherein the ISP is associated with a third bit-depth that is lower than the first bit-depth and higher than the second bit-depth; and decompress the compressed image according to a power curve to generate a partially decompressed image having the third bit-depth, wherein a plurality of regions of the partially decompressed image are decompressed at separate decompression amounts based on a corresponding pixel value of each region of the plurality of regions.

    Abstract: In order to more accurately white balance an image, weightings can be determined for pixels of an image when computing an illuminant color value of the image and/or a scene. The weightings can be based at least in part on the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) of the pixels. The SNR may be actual SNR or SNR estimated from brightness levels of the pixels. SNR weighting (e.g., SNR adjustment) may reduce the effect of pixels with high noise on the computed illuminant color value. For example, one or more channel values of the illuminant color value can be determined based on the weightings and color values of the pixels. One or more color gain values can be determined based on the one or more channel values of the illuminant color value and used to white balance the image.
