One-push automatic white balance
The camera automatically generates frames, based on the current settings of
all registers (GAIN, OFFSET, SHUTTER, etc.).
all registers (GAIN, OFFSET, SHUTTER, etc.).
For white balance, in total 9 frames are processed, and a grid of at least 300
samples is equally spread over the work area. This area can be the field of
view or a subset of it. The R-G-B component values of the samples are added
and used as current values for both the one-push and the automatic white
balance.

This feature uses the assumption that the R-G-B component sums of the sam-

to be monochrome.
