Abstract:
In described examples, a method includes: receiving an array of image data pixels for display by a spatial light modulator; dividing the array of image data pixels into a plurality of blocks. For the blocks of the plurality of blocks, the method includes: computing a mean value for pixels in the block; computing a variance for pixels in the block; and, in response to the mean value and the variance, retrieving an indicator of a likelihood of a visible artifact for the block; and in response to the retrieved indicator, outputting a signal to selectively increase or reduce a load time of the spatial light modulator for displaying the array of image data pixels.

Claim (Index 1):
A method, comprising:\n receiving an array of image data pixels for display by a spatial light modulator, wherein each pixel has respective first, second and third color components; dividing the array of image data pixels into a plurality of blocks; per block of the plurality of blocks: computing a first mean value of the first color component for the pixels in the block; computing a second mean value of the second color component for the pixels in the block; computing a third mean value of the third color component for the pixels in the block; computing a first variance of the first color component for the pixels in the block; computing a second variance of the second color component for the pixels in the block; computing a third variance of the third color component for the pixels in the block; and, in response to the first, second and third mean values and the first, second and third variances, retrieving at least one respective indicator of a likelihood of a visible artifact for the block; computing an aggregate indicator in response to the retrieved respective indicators for all of the blocks; and in response to the computed aggregate indicator, outputting a signal to adjust a time between successive loadings of the spatial light modulator for displaying the array of image data pixels, wherein the likelihood of the visible artifact is reduced by reducing the time between the successive loadings, and the likelihood of the visible artifact is increased by increasing the time between the successive loadings.
