Abstract
Methods and/or systems and/or controllers for estimating an exposure time for an imaging device, especially for estimating exposure times that provide maximum saturation levels while keeping the image sensor operating within its linear range. The imaging device includes an external or embedded image sensor and an external or embedded light source. Such a device may be a dermatoscope, a laparoscope, an endoscope, a microscope, or any digital media devices such as mobile phones, tablets, laptops etc. The methods and/or systems and/or controllers can include an LED or OLED light source or any type of solid-state light source.
