Patent Images
1. A system for generating an image for display comprising:
- a computer processor with associated digital memory and output element, said processor being operative to employ an optimization-based binocular tone mapping framework;
said computer processor and associated memory being configured to;
receive in digital representation as a source a high-dynamic range image of a source high dynamic range image;
produce a first low-dynamic range image directly from said high-dynamic range image;
synthesize a corresponding second low-dynamic range image from said high-dynamic range image, wherein extra image space is used to enhance image content while preserving visual information, andproduce an output representation of at least a binocular single vision image,said tone mapping framework being guided by a metric of a binocular viewing comfort predictor (BVCP) in order to assure stable formation of binocular single vision and avoid viewing discomfort.

Abstract
In a computer-based graphics imaging system, binocular tone mapping is employed with an optimization-based framework to generate a binocular single vision image with more visual richness than a single tone-mapped image, the binocular tone mapping being guided by a binocular viewing comfort predictor (BVCP) metric in order to assure stable formation of binocularly tone-mapped image pairs, so that visual information content of the image pair can be maximized without triggering visual discomfort.

11. A method for generating an image for display comprising:
-
receiving, in a digital memory under control of a computer processor in digital representation as a source, a high-dynamic range image of a source high dynamic range image; producing via said computer processor a first low-dynamic range image directly from said high-dynamic range image; synthesizing via said computer processor a corresponding second low-dynamic range image from said high-dynamic range image, wherein extra image space is used to enhance image content while preserving visual information; and producing via said computer processor an output representation of at least a binocular single vision image; wherein a tone mapping operation is guided by a metric of a binocular viewing comfort predictor (BVCP) in order to assure stable formation of binocular single vision and avoid viewing discomfort. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
