Multi-layer imaging
First Claim
1. An apparatus, comprising:
- a transparent display member;
an image capture module that interfaces with a camera to capture multiple images of a target object, including a first image of the target object and a second image of the target object;
an image processing module that;
identifies a bright spot in the first and second images,identifies the target object in the first and second images proximate to the bright spot,modifies the first image to diminish the bright spot, wherein modifying the first image to diminish the bright spot comprises darkening a portion of the first image that surrounds the bright spot to diminish the bright spot,modifies the second image to emphasize a color of the target object, andcombines the first and second images to generate a single multi-layered image; and
an image display module that interfaces with the transparent display member to display the single multi-layered image.

Abstract
For multi-layer imaging, an apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus includes a transparent display having multiple liquid crystal display (LCD) layers. The apparatus includes an image capture module that interfaces with a camera to capture multiple images of a target object. The apparatus includes an image processing module that identifies a bright spot in first and second images, identifies the target object in the first and second images proximate to the bright spot, and modifies at least one of first and second images to diminish the bright spot and to emphasize the target object. The apparatus includes an image display module that interfaces with the transparent display member to display the first image with the first LCD layer and display the second image with the second LCD layer after modifying at least one of the first and second images.

1. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a transparent display member; an image capture module that interfaces with a camera to capture multiple images of a target object, including a first image of the target object and a second image of the target object; an image processing module that; identifies a bright spot in the first and second images, identifies the target object in the first and second images proximate to the bright spot, modifies the first image to diminish the bright spot, wherein modifying the first image to diminish the bright spot comprises darkening a portion of the first image that surrounds the bright spot to diminish the bright spot, modifies the second image to emphasize a color of the target object, and combines the first and second images to generate a single multi-layered image; and an image display module that interfaces with the transparent display member to display the single multi-layered image. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A method, comprising:
-
interfacing with a camera to capture multiple images of a target object, including a first image of the target object and a second image of the target object; identifying a bright spot in the first and second images; identifying the target object in the first and second images proximate to the bright spot; modifying the first image to diminish the bright spot, wherein modifying the first image to diminish the bright spot comprises darkening a portion of the first image that surrounds the bright spot to diminish the bright spot; modifying the second image to emphasize the target object, wherein modifying the second image to emphasize the target object comprises applying a histogram to the second image; combining the first and second images to generate a single multi-layered image; and interfacing with a transparent display member having a liquid crystal display (LCD) layer to display the single multi-layered image. - View Dependent Claims (18)

19. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon a plurality of computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to:
-
interface with a camera to capture multiple images of a target object, including a first image of the target object and a second image of the target object; identify a bright spot in the first and second images; identify the target object in the first and second images proximate to the bright spot; modify the first image to diminish the bright spot, wherein modifying the first image to diminish the bright spot comprises darkening a portion of the first image that surrounds the bright spot to diminish the bright spot; modify the second image to emphasize the target object, wherein modifying the second image to emphasize the target object comprises applying a histogram to the second image; combine the first and second images to generate a single multi-layered image; and interface with a transparent display member having a liquid crystal display (LCD) layer to display the single multi-layered image.
