Systems, apparatuses, and methods are presented for taking a combination of images taken synchronous in time with one another. According to one example, the present disclosure proposes one or more sensor arrays, each of which comprises multiple pixel sensors arranged to capture image data responsive to light exposure. Light is incident on the respective sensor arrays during substantially synchronous exposures. The one or more sensor arrays are configured such that the image data captured by the respective sensor arrays during the synchronous exposure differ in at least one of a luminance output or a color profile from one another.

The application provides a white balance adjustment method, apparatus, camera, and medium. This method includes: obtaining a current image taken by the camera; determining a brightness value of the image and the acquisition parameter values with which the image is captured by the camera, in which the acquisition parameter values includes the exposure time, the exposure gain and the aperture value with which the image is captured by the camera; determining the first white balance gain, according to brightness value, exposure time, exposure gain and aperture value; calculating a second white balance gain with which the image is captured by the camera, according to the three-primary-color values of the pixel points of the image; adjusting the white balance gain of the camera according to the first white balance gain and the second white balance gain. The white balance gain determined by the embodiment of this application may better compensate for the color difference of the image taken by the camera.

Methods, systems, and devices for operating a camera-enabled device are described. The camera-enabled device may emit, via a first light emitting source, an infrared light in a physical environment and determine time-of-flight information associated with a target object in the physical environment based on the emitted infrared light. The camera-enabled device may estimate one or more exposure settings based on the time-of-flight information, and emit, via a second light emitting source, a visible light in the physical environment based on the estimated one or more exposure settings. As a result, the camera-enabled device may capture an image of the physical environment based on the emitted visible light and the estimated one or more exposure settings.
