Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a method of performing, by an image processing circuit, an inference operation comprising: capturing first and second images using first and second values respectively of an image capture parameter; generating, for a first region of the first and second images, first and second estimates respectively of an image quality metric, wherein the image quality metric is dependent on the value of the image capture parameter; calculating first and second distances between the first and second estimates respectively and first and second target levels respectively; and supplying a result of the inference operation performed on the first region of either the first or second image selected based on the first and second distances.
