Abstract

A system of estimating ambient light includes an image sensor that captures an image; a region of interest (ROI) selector that determines at least one ROI on the image; an occupancy detector that determines existence status of an object disposed on the at least one ROI; and an ambient light estimator that estimates illumination of ambient light of the at least one ROI according to luminance of the at least one ROI on the image.
