FOVEATED IMAGES WITH ADAPTIVE EXPOSURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240380981 titled 'FOVEATED IMAGES WITH ADAPTIVE EXPOSURE
The patent application addresses the need for adaptive exposure within high dynamic range (HDR) images by leveraging virtual reality (VR) headsets and augmented reality (AR) displays equipped with infrared (IR) eye tracking devices.
- Gaze vector determined by the eye tracking device identifies fixation points on the image with faulty exposure.
- Adaptive exposure correction is applied around the fixation point using image processing techniques.
- Spatial adaptive exposure results in a foveated image that can be rendered on a low dynamic range (LDR) display with detail.
- Potential Applications:**
- Photography and videography industries for enhancing image quality. - Virtual reality and augmented reality applications for immersive experiences. - Medical imaging for accurate diagnostics.
- Problems Solved:**
- Addressing faulty exposure in HDR images. - Improving image quality and detail. - Enhancing user experience in VR and AR environments.
- Benefits:**
- Enhanced image quality and detail. - Improved user experience in VR and AR. - Accurate diagnostics in medical imaging.
- Commercial Applications:**
Title: Adaptive Exposure Technology for Enhanced Image Quality This technology can be used in photography equipment, VR headsets, AR displays, and medical imaging devices to improve image quality and user experience. It has implications in industries such as entertainment, healthcare, and photography.
- Questions about Adaptive Exposure Technology:**
1. How does adaptive exposure technology improve image quality in HDR images?
- Adaptive exposure corrects faulty exposure areas in HDR images, resulting in enhanced detail and quality.
2. What are the potential applications of adaptive exposure technology beyond photography and VR?
- Adaptive exposure technology can also be applied in medical imaging for accurate diagnostics and in security systems for improved surveillance.
Original Abstract Submitted
systems and methods are disclosed that address the need for adaptive exposure within high dynamic range (hdr) images. solutions can leverage recent advances in the use of virtual reality (vr) headsets and augmented reality (ar) displays equipped with infrared (ir) eye tracking devices. a gaze vector determined by the eye tracking device identifies one or more fixation points on the image that corresponds to an area where there exists a faulty exposure. the exposure around the fixation point can be adaptively corrected using image processing techniques. using spatial adaptive exposure, the resulting image, a type of foveated image, can be rendered on a low dynamic range (ldr) display with sufficient detail.
