APPARATUS FOR AUTO WHITE BALANCING, METHOD FOR AUTO WHITE BALANCNG INCLUDING MONO-COLOR SPACE AND RECORDED MEDIUM FOR PERFORMING METHOD FOR AUTO WHITE BALANCING

摘要

PURPOSE: A device for an auto white balancing, method for an auto white balancing and a recorded medium which recorded a method for an auto white balancing including mono-color area are provided to determine whether a subject is originally mono-color or the subject is effected by color light source, thereby performing AWB. CONSTITUTION: A single color light source estimating unit(111) extracts a gray from a provided image. A color light source estimating unit presumes a monochromatic light source. If a mono-color area is detected in a mono-color detecting unit, an AWB control unit(112) controls AWB performing unit(113) to perform white balance by considering influence of presumed mono-color light source about the provided image. The AWB performing unit performs a white balance according to a control of the AWB control unit.
