  • Patent number: 12684251
    Abstract: An image capture method, an image display method, and an apparatus are provided to reduce a difference between an image displayed on a display end and an image displayed on a capture end. During encoding, the capture end transmits data for describing a luminance mapping relationship between a before-compression image and an after-compression image to the display end, so that consistency between the image on the capture end and the image on the display end is ensured as much as possible. In addition, screen related information for describing luminance of the capture end is transmitted to the display end, so that the display end adjusts backlight and a pixel value based on the screen related information, to improve consistency between the image on the capture end and the image on the display end.

  • Patent number: 12524856
    Abstract: This application relates to the field of image processing technologies, and discloses an image processing method and system, and a device, to resolve a problem that tone mapping greatly affects perception of a binocular 3D image. Based on a disparity map of a binocular image, a tone mapping curve is determined for a display device to display an image, instead of being generated merely based on image content. This makes a contrast of a tone mapped binocular image reach at least a level before tone mapping, thereby meeting a minimum disparity variation requirement for 3D perception by human eyes, and improving 3D perception of a 3D image displayed by the display device.
