Auto Exposure
The integrated automatic exposure control (AEC) is responsible for ensuring that
optimal settings of exposure and gain are computed and updated every other frame.
AEC can be enabled or disabled by R0x3100[0]. When AEC is disabled (R0x3100[0] = 0),
the sensor uses the manual exposure value in the coarse and fine integration time registers
and the manual gain value in the gain registers. When AEC is enabled
(R0x3100[0]=1), the target luma value is set by AE_LUMA_TARGET_REG (R0x3102). For
AR0144, this target luma has a default value of 0x0500. The luma target maximum auto
exposure value is limited by R0x311C; the minimum auto exposure is limited by
R0x311E. These values are in units of line-times. The minimum value for register 0x311E
is 1 line. The exposure control measures current scene luminosity by accumulating a
histogram of Gr pixel values while reading out a frame. It then compares the current
luminosity to the desired output luminosity. Finally, the appropriate adjustments are
made to the exposure time and gain.

AE Embedded Statistics and Data
The AE Stats Calculation block (Figure 25) takes the user specified Region of Interest
(ROI) and creates a histogram of 64 evenly distributed bins from 0 to the maximum code
value of 4095 based on Gr pixels. If no ROI is specified, statistics are gathered from the
full output frame. From this histogram, all relevant auto exposure statistics are generated
