Patent ID: 7768524

Claim:
A method of mapping visual content to a destination device, comprising: accumulating, in a memory, at least one point sample forward mapped to at least one bin of the destination device, wherein a first bin receives a different number of samples compared to a second bin; resolving over all of the at least one point sample forward mapped to the at least one bin to determine a setting; and in order to generate said at least one point sample, sampling at least one portion of a source signal at a rate that varies based on variables comprising: a frequency of the at least one portion of the source signal being sampled, such that said rate exceeds the highest frequency of the portion being sampled, wherein frequency is a measure of visual content nonuniformity in the at least one portion of the source signal; at least one transformation that the at least one portion of the source signal undergoes prior to rendering; and a parameter of a rendering device which renders the visual content.
