Abstract:
Systems, methods, and computer readable media are described for effectively using dither techniques upon signals having a predicted quantization error that varies across the range of the signal. In some embodiments, predicted error is used to shape a precision input signal so that the newly-shaped signal yields a uniform or relatively uniform predicted quantization error. A dither is applied to the re-shaped signal, and the shaping is reversed, after which the signal may be slope limited and/or quantized, taking full and efficient advantage of the dithering technique.
Abstract:
A method and user interface for direct setting of black and white points. Black point is set using a slider and matching of gray shades. White point setting is performed by having a setting object move within a defined region, such as a square or circle, with the area where the setting object moves being adjusted dynamically based on the location of the setting object with respect to the defined region. When the area is the desired white, the setting is complete. Preferably the defined region has a varying color border to allow a reference for the user in moving the setting object. A more detailed setting of gray levels can be accomplished by providing a gray scale with reference points. Each reference point has an associated white point setting area, so that settings are developed for each reference point. Settings at other locations are determined by interpolation or extrapolation.
Abstract:
Adaptive video processing for a target display panel may be implemented in or by a decoding/display pipeline associated with the target display panel. The adaptive video processing methods may take into account video content, display characteristics, and environmental conditions including but not limited to ambient lighting and viewer location when processing and rendering video content for a target display panel in an ambient setting or environment. The display-side adaptive video processing methods may use this information to adjust one or more video processing functions as applied to the video data to render video for the target display panel that is adapted to the display panel according to the ambient viewing conditions.
