A handheld imaging device has a data receiver that is configured to receive reference encoded image data. The data includes reference code values, which are encoded by an external coding system. The reference code values represent reference gray levels, which are being selected using a reference grayscale display function that is based on perceptual non-linearity of human vision adapted at different light levels to spatial frequencies. The imaging device also has a data converter that is configured to access a code mapping between the reference code values and device-specific code values of the imaging device. The device-specific code values are configured to produce gray levels that are specific to the imaging device. Based on the code mapping, the data converter is configured to transcode the reference encoded image data into device-specific image data, which is encoded with the device-specific code values.

Apparatus and methods are provided that employ one or more of a variety of techniques for reducing the time required to display high resolution images on a high dynamic range display having a light source layer and a display layer. In one technique, the image resolution is reduced, an effective luminance pattern is determined for the reduced resolution image, and the resolution of the effective luminance pattern is then increased to the resolution of the display layer. In another technique, the light source layer's point spread function is decomposed into a plurality of components, and an effective luminance pattern is determined for each component. The effective luminance patterns are then combined to produce a total effective luminance pattern. Additional image display time reduction techniques are provided.

The method includes: sending a first switching signal to a write controller of a current display channel when a switching instruction for switching from the current display channel to a target display channel is received; acquiring a frame address in which final write operation of data is completed, and taking the frame address as a first address and a next frame address as a second address; sending a second switching signal to a write controller of the target display channel; and sending a third switching signal to a read controller.

The present invention provides a motion content based dynamic frame rate conversion method for displaying a video by a display device, comprising: detecting motion content of the video and generating a control signal for controlling a display color depth based on the motion detection result. The video is displayed with a lower color depth at a higher frame rate than a standard configuration of the display device if the motion detection result indicates that the video contains appreciable amount of motion content; and the video is displayed with a higher color depth at a lower frame rate than the standard configuration of the display device if the motion detection result indicates that the video is relatively static. The present invention can facilitate the display device to dynamically convert its display output formats according to motion content of the video to further optimize the display quality.

A method and system for reducing the number of colors per pixel present in an image to increase the ability to detect objects or anomalies in the image. A final number of colors per pixel to reduce the image to is determined, wherein the final number of colors is a number of colors less than the number of colors per pixel in the original image. A corresponding threshold value for each of the final number of colors is identified, such that the corresponding threshold values optimize an arithmetic combination of separation score functions applied to the plurality of pixels and the threshold values. The image is reduced to the final number of colors per pixel, by creating an output image where a value of each output pixel is equal to the number of threshold values that are less than the value of the corresponding input pixel.

Systems and methods for displaying super saturated color. Image data for display on a display or viewing device with a potential white luminance in a standard system with a maximum luminance is processed such that colors near the white point are reduced to a limited luminance. As the chroma of the displayed color is increased, a luminance attenuation is decreased. The scaling of the reduction is operable to be a linear function, a non-linear function, or any other function.
