ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus are described for image sensor optimization. According to an embodiment of the invention, a method comprises capturing an image with an image sensor, the image sensor comprising a plurality of pixels; obtaining an output relating to the image from a first pixel of the plurality of pixels; and normalizing the output from the first pixel to correlate with photon flux striking the image sensor.
