Patent attributes
A method for processing at least one peripheral image that when displayed extends beyond the borders of a displayed central image is disclosed. The method includes adapting luminance of the peripheral image to human vision characteristics when the luminance of peripheral images is processed so that the rendered light from the peripheral image in the viewer field of view remains low and close to the light rendered by the central view only. According to a first embodiment, the method includes adapting luminance of the peripheral image to a reference reflectance level by applying a light correction function to the input luminance when such light correction function is obtained by measuring a rendered luminance level of the displayed peripheral image adapted to the reference reflectance level of the surface where is displayed the peripheral image. According to a second embodiment, the luminance is further adapted to real reflectance with respect to reference reflectance. According to a third embodiment, the luminance of moving object in the peripheral image is increased.
