Abstract

A method of processing data includes receiving, at a computing device, data representative of an image captured by an image sensor. The method also includes determining a first scene clarity score. The method further includes determining whether the first scene clarity score satisfies a threshold, and if the first scene clarity score satisfies the threshold, determining a second scene clarity score based on second data extracted from the data.
