Patent attributes
A device comprises memory, a display characterized by a display characteristic, and processors coupled to the memory. The processors execute instructions causing the processors to receive data indicative of the display characteristic, data indicative of ambient lighting, and data indicative of content characteristics for a content item; determine a tone mapping curve for the content item based on the data indicative of content characteristics; determine a first, so-called “anchor” point along the tone mapping curve; modify a first portion of the tone mapping curve below the anchor point based on the data indicative of ambient lighting; modify a second portion of the tone mapping curve above the anchor point based on the data indicative of the display characteristic; perform tone mapping for the content item based on the modified toned mapping curve to obtain a tone mapped content item; and cause the display to display the tone mapped content item.
