  • Publication number: 20240104705
    Abstract: Systems and methods for image correction are provided. The systems and methods may obtain raw data of a target object. The systems and methods may determine, based on the raw data of the target object, a target phase. The systems and methods may generate a first image corresponding to the target phase. The systems and methods may determine, using a preset evaluation tool, an image quality evaluation result of the first image. In response to determining that the image quality evaluation result of the first image does not satisfy a preset condition, the systems and methods may generate a set of corrected raw sub-data of the target object corresponding to the target phase by correcting a set of raw sub-data of the target object corresponding to the target phase. The systems and methods may generate, based on the set of corrected raw sub-data of the target object, a corrected image corresponding to the first image.

  • Publication number: 20230215392
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method and an apparatus for backlight control and a display device. The apparatus comprises: a block brightness module for calculating an initial brightness value of each backlight block in a backlight source according to initial image data; a filtering module for performing spatial filtering and temporal filtering on the initial brightness value of each backlight block to obtain an adjusted brightness value of each backlight block; a control module for generating a brightness control signal according to the adjusted brightness value of each backlight block to adjust brightness of the backlight source. An intermediate brightness value of each backlight block is no less than the initial brightness value of that backlight block. Based on backlight adjustment for reducing power consumption, display effect reduction on a portion of image due to uneven brightness of the portion of the image during the spatial filtering is avoided.
