Samsung patents method to smooth color shifts in mixed reality video
This filing describes a technique for processing video frames used in extended reality displays. It compares consecutive frames to adjust color and brightness levels, ensuring that the real-world background appears consistent and stable.
In the filing’s own words
A method includes obtaining a sequence of image frames and determining one or more color differences and one or more luminance differences for each of one or more overlapping areas between at least one pair of consecutive image frames in the sequence. The method also includes generating one or more parameters for a color matching model based on the one or more color differences and generating one or more parameters for a luminance matching model based on the one or more luminance differences. The method further includes applying the color matching model and the luminance matching model to at least one of the image frames to generate at least one color-matched and luminance-matched image frame.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. An electronic device comprising: at least one processing device configured to: obtain a sequence of image frames; determine one or more color differences and one or more luminance differences for each of one or more overlapping areas between at least one pair of consecutive image frames in the sequence; generate one or more parameters for a color matching model based on the one or more color differences; generate one or more parameters for a luminance matching model based on the one or more luminance differences; and apply the color matching model and the luminance matching model to at least one of the image frames to generate at least one color-matched and luminance-matched image frame.
