Abstract:
1. A method for enhanced image adaptation for a display device having a target area T, the method comprising: modeling an image with respect to a plurality of visual attentions to generate a respective set of attention objects for each attention of the visual attentions; assigning a respective attention value to each attention object, the attention value indicating a relative importance of image information represented by the attention object as compared to other ones of the attention objects; indicating a respective weight for each of the visual attentions; for each visual attention, adjusting assigned attention values of corresponding attention objects based on corresponding visual attention weight, the adjusting comprising: for each of one or more image adaptation schemes, determining a respective objective measure of information fidelity (IF) of a region R of the image as a function of a resource constraint of the display device and as a function of a weighted sum of IF of a value of each attention object (AO selecting a substantially optimal adaptation scheme from among the one or more image adaptation schemes, each image adaptation scheme ranked as a function of, at least, its determined objective measure of information fidelity IF with respect to the region R; and adapting the image via the substantially optimal adaptation scheme to generate an adapted image as a function of at least the target area T.
