Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for receiving, from an image capture device, a first image of an article and a background surface, the background surface being illuminated by one or more light sources, generating a grayscale image from the first image, determining a brightness level of the article in the grayscale image based on a first luminous intensity representing the background surface, determining one or more control parameters for the image capture device based on the brightness level of the article, and sending the control parameters to the image capture device, causing the image capture device to configure, for capturing a second image of the article, one or more settings based on the control parameters.
