Abstract:
A method and system for visualizing micro-contrast. At least one processor obtains a selected root image from a digital video, generates an assistive image, and blends the assistive image with the selected root image to obtain a mutated image, which configured to be displayed by a display device. The selected root image includes root pixels each associated with color values. The assistive image is generated based on a plurality of micro-contrast scores comprising a micro-contrast score calculated for each of at least a portion of the root pixels. The micro-contrast score is calculated for a selected one of the root pixels by identifying a submatrix centered at the selected root pixel, and calculating the micro-contrast score for the selected root pixel based on the color values associated with only sample pixels positioned one each at corners of the submatrix.

Claim (Index 18):
A method comprising:\n until a plurality of mutated images have been displayed, (a) obtaining, with at least one processor, a selected root image from a digital video comprising a plurality of consecutive root images, the selected root image comprising root pixels each associated with color values, (b) assigning, with the at least one processor, a plurality of micro-contrast scores one each to each of the root pixels, (c) generating, with the at least one processor, an assistive image based on the plurality of micro-contrast scores, (d) blending, with the at least one processor, the assistive image with the selected root image to obtain a new one of the plurality of mutated images, and (e) displaying, with a display device, the new mutated image, wherein assigning the plurality of micro-contrast scores comprises until each of the root pixels has been selected, (i) selecting, with the at least one processor, one of the root pixels, (ii) identifying, with the at least one processor, a submatrix centered at the selected root pixel and comprising a plurality of corners and a plurality of sample pixels positioned one each at each of the corners, and (iii) calculating, with the at least one processor, one of the plurality of micro-contrast scores for the selected root pixel based on the color values associated with only the plurality of sample pixels.
