+// The "lux" algorithm looks at the (AGC) histogram statistics of the frame and
+// estimates the current lux level of the scene. It does this by a simple ratio
+// calculation comparing to a reference image that was taken in known conditions
+// with known statistics and a properly measured lux level. There is a slight
+// problem with aperture, in that it may be variable without the system knowing
+// or being aware of it. In this case an external application may set a
+// "current_aperture" value if it wishes, which would be used in place of the
+// (presumably meaningless) value in the image metadata.
