Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices implementing region of interest (ROI) histograms for display processing (e.g., for display adjustment) are described. A display processing component may determine a histogram based on the ROI (e.g., based on gray levels corresponding to pixels within a frame or image aspect ratio) by removing or otherwise not considering background filler (e.g., background, such as solid black color, that may be added by a device to fill a panel area when an image or frame aspect ratio is not equivalent to the display panel aspect ratio). Source pipe programming (e.g., display information read from a display hardware pipeline and ROI information read from a video or image pipeline) may be used for improved histogram determination or histogram modification. A histogram for processing block operations may therefore be determined based on (e.g., or modified to reflect) the ROI corresponding to the image or frame to be displayed.
