Image processing method of transparent display apparatus and apparatus thereof
First Claim
1. A transparent display apparatus comprising:
- a transparent display unit at a front side of the transparent display apparatus having an emissive area for display of an image and a transmissive area having a see-through characteristic, the transparent display unit being transparent to external light incident on the transparent display apparatus;
a light shielding unit to shield at least a portion of the external light from passing through the transparent display unit, the light shielding unit disposed at a rear side of the transparent display apparatus; and
at least one processing unit configured to;
determine a first processing level corresponding to a target emphasis for a first object in the image;
determine a second processing level corresponding to a target emphasis for a second object in the image;
control a first shielding rate of the light shielding unit in a first object area corresponding to the first object based on the first processing level; and
control a second shielding rate of the light shielding unit in a second object area corresponding to the second object based on the second processing level.

Abstract
There are provided an image processing method. Perspective is calculated from an image, the image is divided into a plurality of objects in consideration of the perspective, and processing levels of the plurality of objects are assigned. A light shielding rate of a transparent display apparatus is calculated based on the processing levels. Further, image processing is performed on the objects on the basis of the processing levels, so that it is possible to improve a stereoscopic effect being felt while using the transparent display apparatus. Furthermore, a shielding rate of light entering from the rear side of the transparent display apparatus is effectively adjusted, and the image is processed to improve the visibility of the image.

10. A method comprising:
-
determining a first processing level corresponding to a target emphasis for a first object and a second object in an image to be displayed by an emissive area of a transparent display unit; controlling a first shielding rate of a light shielding unit in a first object area corresponding to the first object based on the first processing level and controlling a second shielding rate of the light shielding unit in a second object area corresponding to the second object based on the second processing level, wherein the transparent display unit includes the emissive area and a transmissive area and allows a user to see behind a transparent display apparatus through the transmissive area and also view the image emitted from the emissive area simultaneously, and wherein a front side of the transparent display apparatus is exposed to a user and the light shielding unit is disposed at a rear side of the transparent display apparatus. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions, the instructions when executed by a processor cause the processor to perform a method comprising:
-
determining a first processing level corresponding to a target emphasis for a first object and a second object in an image to be displayed by an emissive area of a transparent display unit; controlling a first shielding rate of a light shielding unit in a first object area corresponding to the first object based on the first processing level and controlling a second shielding rate of the light shielding unit in a second object area corresponding to the second object based on the second processing level, wherein the transparent display unit includes the emissive area and a transmissive area and allows a user to see behind the transparent display unit through the transmissive area and also view the image emitted from the emissive area simultaneously, and wherein a front side of a transparent display apparatus is exposed to a user and the light shielding unit is disposed at a rear side of the transparent display apparatus.
