In this paper we investigate the task of developing algorithms for digital video camera sensitivity parameters control to adjust for scene brightness change caused by appearance and disappearance of large objects to be detected. We describe these controllable parameters (exposure, gain, DC-iris aperture) and the speci cs of adjusting them. We provide the experimental results of dependency between the obtained image brightness and the iris control signal value and propose a DC-iris control algorithm based on them. We introduce the algorithm to simultaneously control three sensitivity parameters for brightness adjustment and its modi cation for the case of large fast moving objects. A generalization of the algorithm is proposed to control the sensitivity parameters of a stereo-pair for the purpose aligning mean brightness of frames from both cameras.

Key words: camera sensitivity control, DC-iris, smart camera, brightness adaptation, autocalibration
