Patent number: 10242627Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for dynamically adjusting the backlight of a display during video playback. Given an input video stream and associated minimum, average, or maximum luminance values of the video frames in the video stream, values of a function of the frame min, mid, or max luminance values are filtered using a temporal filter to generate a filtered output value for each frame. The instantaneous dynamic range of a target display is determined based on the filtered output value and the minimum and maximum brightness values of the display. A backlight control level is computed based on the instantaneous dynamic range, and the input signal is tone mapped by a display management process to be displayed on the target display at the selected backlight level. The design of a temporal filter based on an exponential moving average filter and scene-change detection is presented.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2016Date of Patent: March 26, 2019Assignee: Dolby Laboratories Licensing CorporationInventors: Suzanne Farrell, Scott Daly, Robin Atkins, Timo Kunkel, Gregory John Ward, Samir N.
