Abstract

An auto white balance adjusting method includes determining a local white pixel area and a global white pixel area, selecting a plurality of pixels of an image according to the local white pixel area for generating a local average color value in a first color space, selecting a plurality of pixels of the image according to the global white pixel area for generating a global average color value in the first color space, converting the local average color value into three primary color gains in a second color space, generating three primary color target gains according to the three primary color gains and a color temperature curve in the second color space, and adjusting a white balance of the image frame by frame to meet the three primary color target gains according to the local average color value and the three primary color gains.
