Abstract: local automatic white balance (awb) of wide dynamic range (wdr) images is provided. methods and systems include collecting, by an image signal processor (isp), statistics for local awb from at least one wide dynamic range (wdr) image received by the isp; generating, by a processor, based on the statistics, local gain lookup tables (luts), one for each color channel represented in the wdr image(s), each local gain lut providing a correlation between gain and intensity; and storing the local gain luts. further processing includes, for each of multiple pixels of a wdr image to be output calculating an intensity value, accessing the local gain lut for the color channel corresponding to that pixel using the calculated intensity value to identify a corresponding local gain value, and applying the local gain value to that pixel.

Abstract: a microelectronic device including an analog mos transistor. the analog transistor has a body well having a first conductivity type in a semiconductor material of a substrate of the microelectronic device. the body well extends deeper in the substrate than a field relief dielectric layer at the top surface of the semiconductor material. the analog transistor has a drain well and a source well having a second, opposite, conductivity type in the semiconductor material, both contacting the body well. the drain well and the source well extend deeper in the substrate than the field relief dielectric layer. the analog transistor has a gate on a gate dielectric layer over the body well. the drain well and the source well extend partway under the gate at the top surface of the semiconductor material.
