Samsung patents image fixer for dim XR views
Samsung describes a method for electronic devices to check the lighting conditions of an image frame. If the light is too dim, the system automatically applies noise reduction or brightness boosts to improve the picture before displaying it.
In the filing’s own words
A method includes obtaining, using at least one processing device of an electronic device, an image frame and determining, using the at least one processing device, one or more light conditions associated with the image frame. The method also includes determining, using the at least one processing device, whether the one or more light conditions are acceptable. The method further includes performing, using the at least one processing device, at least one of low-light denoising or brightness enhancement to generate an enhanced image frame in response to determining that the one or more light conditions are not acceptable. In addition, the method includes rendering, using the at least one processing device, the enhanced image frame for display.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A method comprising: obtaining, using at least one processing device of an electronic device, an image frame; determining, using the at least one processing device, one or more light conditions associated with the image frame; determining, using the at least one processing device, whether the one or more light conditions are acceptable; performing, using the at least one processing device, at least one of low-light denoising or brightness enhancement to generate an enhanced image frame in response to determining that the one or more light conditions are not acceptable; and rendering, using the at least one processing device, the enhanced image frame for display.
