(EN) AUTOMATIC WHITE POINT ADJUSTMENT DURING VIDEO DISPLAY
(FR) RÉGLAGE AUTOMATIQUE DU POINT BLANC D’UN AFFICHAGE VIDÉO
front page image
Abstract
(EN)
The disclosure relates to systems and processes for automatically adjusting the white point of displayed images to account for changes in ambient light. In one embodiment, a display system (10) includes a display device (12) having sensors (16, 22) for recording the red (R), green (G) and blue (B) values for ambient light and measuring the intensity of such light. The sensors feed these values into a processor, which calculates R, G, B gain values to be applied to the video input R, G, B values. In this manner, the display device can account for changes in ambient light to adjust the perceived white point accordingly. Related methods for automatically adjusting the white point of a perceived image are also described.
(FR)
La présente invention concerne des systèmes et procédés destinés à un réglage automatique du point blanc des images affichées pour prendre en compte des variations de la lumière ambiante. Dans un mode de réalisation de l’invention, un système d’affichage (10) comprend un dispositif d’affichage (12) muni de capteurs (16, 22) qui enregistrent les valeurs rouge (R), verte (G) et bleue (B) de la lumière ambiante et mesurent l’intensité d’une telle lumière. Les capteurs transmettent ces valeurs à un processeur, qui calcule les valeurs de gain R, G, B à appliquer aux valeurs R, G, B d’entrée vidéo. Le dispositif d’affichage peut ainsi prendre en compte des variations de la lumière ambiante pour régler le point blanc en conséquence. La présente invention concerne également des procédés connexes permettant un réglage automatique du point blanc de l’image perçue.
