Abstract:
Given that a plurality of visual transfer function curves for a display panel are provided for each of different ranges from the display panel, two-dimensional luminance distribution data of the display panel is filtered using a filter having visual frequency characteristics substantially passing through: a part where a recognition sensitivity increases as a spatial frequency increases in a short-range function curve, which among the plurality of visual transfer function curves is the closest to the display panel; a peak part of the short-range function curve; a peak part in a long-range function curve, which among the plurality of visual transfer function curves is the farthest from the display panel; and a part where the recognition sensitivity decreases as the spatial frequency increases in the long-range function curve. An evaluation value of luminance unevenness of the display panel is calculated on the basis of the filtered two-dimensional filtering data.

Provided is a pattern position detection method that allows detecting positions of patterns used for alignment with high accuracy. According to the pattern position detection method of the present invention, patterns are displayed on a liquid crystal panel (2) and captured by a camera (3). A black image is displayed on the liquid crystal panel (2) and captured by the camera (3) using a shutter speed or an f-number used when capturing the patterns. Based on a difference between a captured image of the patterns and a captured image of the black image, positions of images of the patterns on an imaging surface of the camera (3) are detected.

Provided is an image processing method, an image processing apparatus, and the like according to which the influence of moiré can be suppressed without incurring a decrease in image resolution. An image is captured in a state in which moiré, which appears when capturing an image in-focus, has appeared, a first image is generated by removing a spatial frequency component corresponding to the moiré from the captured image using a high-pass filter, an image is captured out-of-focus by the camera, a second image is generated by applying a low-pass filter to the captured image, and a third image in which the moiré is eliminated or suppressed is generated by compositing the first image and the second image.

Abstract:
An image quality adjustment apparatus obtains correction data for correcting display unevenness of a display panel by capturing an image of the display panel using a camera, and includes a moire frequency control unit that performs a control to position the display panel and the camera at a predetermined relative angle with respect to each other, an unevenness measurement unit that measures the display unevenness of the display panel based on the image captured by the camera, and a correction data generation unit that generates the correction data based on the unevenness measured by the unevenness measurement unit. Arranging the panel and the camera at the predetermined relative angle shifts a spatial frequency component of a moire pattern occurring in the image captured by the camera out of a region where a spatial frequency component of the display unevenness is present, and removes an influence of the moire pattern.
