Publication number: 20220375049Abstract: The present invention provides a method, system and device for reflectional glare reduction in endoscope images. The reflective glare refers to clusters of congruent bright and often saturated image pixels caused by heterogenous surfaces of a tissue anatomy reflecting the illumination from a light source, which could be as annoying as distractive. Under automatic exposure control, in a scene of overexposure due to a reflection glare, the brightness of the glare is significantly higher than that of background image of tissue anatomy, and there is usually a gap between the two. Through mapping the pixel depth of the glare into the gap, the contrast between the glare and the background image is reduced, which improves the user experience of the endoscopy.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 1, 2022Publication date: November 24, 2022Applicant: Real Image Technology Co., LtdInventor: Xiaoning Huai
