IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD AND SYSTEM, AND DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18494247 titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD AND SYSTEM, AND DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application relates to image processing technologies and discloses a method and system for tone mapping in binocular 3D images.

  • Tone mapping curve is determined based on the discrepancy map of a binocular image.
  • The curve is used to display the image on a display device, improving 3D perception.
  • The contrast of the tone mapped image reaches a level before tone mapping, meeting the disparity variation requirement for 3D perception.
  • Enhances the 3D perception of images displayed on the device.

Original Abstract Submitted

This application relates to the field of image processing technologies, and discloses an image processing method and system, and a device, to resolve a problem that tone mapping greatly affects perception of a binocular 3D image. Based on a disparity map of a binocular image, a tone mapping curve is determined for a display device to display an image, instead of being generated merely based on image content. This makes a contrast of a tone mapped binocular image reach at least a level before tone mapping, thereby meeting a minimum disparity variation requirement for 3D perception by human eyes, and improving 3D perception of a 3D image displayed by the display device.
