Like reference numerals in the drawings denote functionally identical or similar elements. Although various aspects of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale unless otherwise specified.

[0026] In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and cannot be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features. In the description of the present disclosure, "a plurality" means two or more unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0027] In the present disclosure, unless otherwise clearly defined and limited, the terms "mounted", "connected", "coupled", "fixed", etc. shall be construed in a broad sense. For example, it may be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or integrated; it may be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it may be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it may be the internal communication of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements.

[0029] Global contrast adjustment can make the gray levels of the images presented by the display distinct and the details of the images clearer. Global contrast stretching based on an S-shaped curve is a commonly used global contrast adjustment method in the prior art. Generally, for the convenience of hardware implementation, the mapping relationship of the S-shaped curve can be stored through a look-up table (LUT), and the global mapping of the S-shaped curve can be implemented by combining the LUT with an interpolation scheme. However, the mapping performance is affected by the size of the LUT. When the size of the LUT is small, breakage / faulting (banding) often occurs in storing pixel nodes, affecting the display effect.

[0030] In view of this, the present disclosure proposes a global contrast adjustment method, which can implement a quasi-S-shaped curve mapping relationship based on a quadratic polynomial, solve the influence of the LUT size on global contrast adjustment from the source, avoid breakage / faulting in the image after global contrast adjustment, ensure the visual effect of the display device, and facilitate implementation through a hardware circuit. The global contrast adjustment method provided by the present disclosure is introduced in detail below.

[0031] Figure 1 The flowchart of a global contrast adjustment method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. As Figure 1 shown, the global contrast adjustment method can be executed by an electronic device such as a terminal device or a server. The terminal device can be a user equipment (UE), a mobile device, a user terminal, a terminal, a cellular phone, a cordless phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a handheld device, a computing device, a vehicle-mounted device, a wearable device, etc. The global contrast adjustment method can be implemented by a processor calling computer-readable instructions stored in a memory. Alternatively, the global contrast adjustment method can be executed by the server. As Figure 1 shown, the global contrast adjustment method includes:

[0032] In step S101, determine the initial pixel value corresponding to each pixel point in the image to be displayed.

[0033] In step S102, for any pixel point in the image to be displayed, use the quasi-S-shaped curve mapping relationship based on a quadratic polynomial to adjust the contrast of the initial pixel value corresponding to the pixel point, and determine the target pixel value corresponding to the pixel point.

[0034] In step S103, according to the target pixel value corresponding to each pixel point, drive the target display device to output the display result corresponding to the image to be displayed, where the global contrast of the display result is higher than the global contrast corresponding to the image to be displayed.

[0035] Among them, the image to be displayed is any image that needs to be displayed on the target display device. Its specific form can be flexibly set according to actual usage requirements, and the present disclosure does not make specific limitations thereon. The specific content of the initial pixel value corresponding to each pixel point in the image to be displayed may include the brightness value, chromaticity value, etc. in a preset color space, which can be flexibly set according to actual usage requirements, and the present disclosure does not make specific limitations thereon.

[0036] The quasi-S-shaped curve mapping relationship based on a quadratic polynomial can represent the mapping relationship of simulating an S-shaped curve through multiple quadratic polynomial operations. Its specific form can be flexibly set according to actual usage requirements, and the present disclosure does not make specific limitations thereon. The specific number of times of the quadratic polynomial operation can be flexibly set according to actual usage requirements. For example, the number of times of the quadratic term operation can be set to three, and the present disclosure does not make specific limitations thereon.

[0037] In a possible implementation manner, the quasi-S-shaped curve mapping relationship based on a quadratic polynomial can be expressed as formula (1):

[0038]

[0039] Among them, x represents the initial pixel value corresponding to any pixel point, y represents the target pixel value corresponding to this pixel point, f(x) represents the result of the first quadratic polynomial operation, g(x) represents the result of the second quadratic polynomial operation, and α1, α2, α3, k1, and k2 represent preset operation coefficients.

[0040] Specifically, for any pixel point, the initial pixel value x corresponding to this pixel point can be adjusted for the first time by using a quadratic polynomial operation to obtain the result f(x) of the first quadratic polynomial operation corresponding to this pixel point.

[0041] Among them, the process of the first adjustment can be expressed as formula (2):

[0042]

[0043] Among them, y1 represents the mapping result of the linear function under the coefficient k1; y2 represents the standard linear function mapping result.

[0044] Similarly, the initial pixel value x corresponding to this pixel point can be adjusted for the second time by using a quadratic polynomial operation to obtain the result g(x) of the second quadratic polynomial operation corresponding to this pixel point. Among them, the process of the second adjustment can be expressed as formula (3):

[0045]

[0046] Among them, y3 represents the linear function mapping result under the coefficient k2; y4 represents the standard linear function mapping result.

[0047] Based on the results f(x) of the first quadratic polynomial operation and the results g(x) of the second quadratic polynomial operation corresponding to the pixel point, a third adjustment can be performed using the quadratic polynomial operation to obtain the target pixel value y corresponding to the pixel point. Thus, through three quadratic polynomial operations, the simulation of the S-shaped curve mapping relationship is realized, and the quasi-S-shaped curve mapping relationship based on the quadratic polynomial shown in the above formula (1) is obtained.

[0048] Figure 2 A comparison schematic diagram of a quasi-S-shaped curve according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. As Figure 2 shown, the light blue curve is the standard S-shaped curve based on the exponential function; the red curve is the curve corresponding to the standard linear function mapping; the yellow curve is the curve corresponding to the result f(x) of the first quadratic polynomial operation; the dark blue curve is the curve corresponding to the result g(x) of the second quadratic polynomial operation; the black surface is the curve corresponding to the quasi-S-shaped curve mapping relationship based on the quadratic polynomial provided by the present disclosure. It can be seen that the quasi-S-shaped curve mapping relationship based on the quadratic polynomial provided by the present disclosure has a good fitting effect on the standard S-shaped mapping relationship based on the exponential function.

[0049] Using the quasi-S-shaped curve mapping relationship based on the quadratic polynomial, the contrast of the initial pixel value corresponding to each pixel point in the image to be displayed can be adjusted to obtain the target pixel value corresponding to each pixel point, so as to drive the target display device to output the display result corresponding to the image to be displayed, and make the global contrast of the display result higher than the global contrast corresponding to the image to be displayed. Thus, during the image display process, the global contrast stretching of the image to be displayed is realized. On the other hand, compared with the standard S-shaped mapping relationship based on the exponential function, the quasi-S-shaped curve mapping relationship based on the quadratic polynomial provided by the present disclosure can be more simply implemented at the hardware level, so as to reduce the complexity of hardware implementation and cost investment while ensuring the effect of global contrast stretching.

[0050] Among them, for the specific method of contrast adjustment, reference can be made to the implementation methods in related technologies. For example, the brightness value corresponding to each pixel point in the middle tone of the image to be displayed can be adjusted, etc. The present disclosure does not make specific limitations thereto.

[0051] For the specific form of the target display device, reference can be made to the implementation manners in the related art. For example, it can be an electronic device such as a desktop computer, a television, a mobile device with a large-size screen like a mobile phone or a tablet computer, or a projection device, etc. The present disclosure does not make specific limitations thereto. The specific method for driving the target display device to output the display result corresponding to the image to be displayed by using the target pixel value corresponding to each pixel can be flexibly set according to actual usage requirements and depends on the specific form of the target display device. The present disclosure does not make specific limitations thereto.

[0052] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, for any pixel in the image to be displayed, a contrast adjustment can be performed on the initial pixel value corresponding to the pixel by using a quasi-S-shaped curve mapping relationship based on a quadratic polynomial to determine the target pixel value corresponding to the pixel. On the one hand, it can solve the problem that the common contrast adjustment method in the prior art is limited by the LUT size at the source, avoid the fracture / fault phenomenon in the image after global contrast adjustment, and ensure the visual effect of the display device; on the other hand, compared with the standard S-shaped mapping relationship based on an exponential function, the quasi-S-shaped curve mapping relationship based on a quadratic polynomial used in the present disclosure is convenient to be implemented by a hardware circuit, and can reduce the cost input in the actual application scenario; according to the target pixel value corresponding to each pixel, the target display device can be driven to output the display result corresponding to the image to be displayed, and ensure that the global contrast of the display result is higher than the global contrast corresponding to the image to be displayed.

[0053] In a possible implementation manner, for any pixel in the image to be displayed, a contrast adjustment is performed on the initial pixel value corresponding to the pixel by using a quasi-S-shaped curve mapping relationship based on a quadratic polynomial to determine the target pixel value corresponding to the pixel, including: for any pixel in the image to be displayed, inputting the initial pixel value corresponding to the pixel into a preset pixel adjustment circuit for data operation of the quasi-S-shaped curve to determine the target pixel value corresponding to the pixel, where the pixel adjustment circuit includes: a first preset number of shift registers, a second preset number of multipliers, and 4 adders.

[0054] Compared with the standard S-shaped mapping relationship based on exponential functions, the quasi-S-shaped curve mapping relationship based on quadratic polynomials used in the present disclosure can be implemented by a pixel adjustment circuit including a first preset number of shift registers, a second preset number of multipliers, and 4 adders. The design difficulty and manufacturing difficulty at the hardware level are both relatively low, which can effectively reduce the input of human and material costs in actual application scenarios. Among them, the specific values of the first preset number and the second preset number can be flexibly set according to actual usage requirements, and the present disclosure does not make specific limitations in this regard; the specific circuit structure of the pixel adjustment circuit can be flexibly set according to actual usage requirements, as long as it can use the foregoing components to implement data operations of the quasi-S-shaped curve based on quadratic polynomials, and the present disclosure does not make specific limitations in this regard.

[0055] After determining the initial pixel value corresponding to each pixel point in the image to be displayed, the initial pixel value corresponding to any one pixel point can be input into the pixel adjustment circuit for data operations of the quasi-S-shaped curve, so as to determine the target pixel value corresponding to this pixel point.

[0056] Furthermore, the pixel adjustment circuit can directly output the target pixel value corresponding to each pixel point to the driving circuit corresponding to the target display device to drive the target display device to output the display result corresponding to the image to be displayed, so that the image to be displayed itself does not need to be changed, and on the basis of ensuring the original data performance of the image to be displayed, the display effect of the target display device on the image to be displayed is improved.

[0057] In a possible implementation manner, when the values of all preset operation coefficients are not powers of 2, the first preset number is equal to 0, and the second preset number is equal to 11.

[0058] When the values of all preset operation coefficients are not powers of 2, for any multiplication operation in the quasi-S-shaped curve mapping relationship based on quadratic polynomials, an independent multiplier is required to implement. In this case, the first preset number can be set to 0, and the second preset number can be set to 11, that is, it is set that the pixel adjustment circuit does not include shift registers and only includes 11 multipliers and 4 adders.

[0059] Figure 3 Show a schematic structural diagram of a pixel adjustment circuit according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As Figure 3 shown, the pixel adjustment circuit includes 4 adders and 11 adders, and a multiplier corresponding to any one preset operation coefficient.

[0060] In a possible implementation manner, when at least one of the preset operation coefficients α1, α2, α3, k1, and k2 has a value that is a power of 2, the first preset number is equal to the number of preset operation coefficients whose values are powers of 2.

[0061] When at least one of the preset operation coefficients α1, α2, α3, k1, and k2 takes a value that is a power of 2, when it comes to the multiplication operation related to the preset operation coefficient, the corresponding multiplier can be adjusted to a shift register, and the multiplication operation can be realized through a shift operation, thereby improving the corresponding operation speed and saving operation resources. In this case, the first preset quantity can be set to be equal to the number of preset operation coefficients whose values are powers of 2; the specific value of the second preset quantity can be flexibly set according to the actual circuit structure of the pixel adjustment circuit, and the present disclosure does not make specific limitations thereon.

[0062] In an example, the values of the preset operation coefficients α1, α2, α3, k1, and k2 are all powers of 2. The value of the first preset quantity can be set to 5, and the value of the second preset quantity can be set to 4, that is, the pixel adjustment circuit includes 5 shift registers, 4 multipliers, and 4 adders.

[0063] It should be noted that although the embodiments of the present disclosure take Figure 3 as an example to introduce the pixel adjustment circuit as above, those skilled in the art can understand that the present disclosure should not be limited thereto. In fact, the user can completely flexibly set the specific circuit structure of the pixel adjustment circuit according to personal preferences and / or actual application scenarios, as long as it can implement the data operation of the quasi-S-shaped curve based on the quadratic polynomial based on the above principle.

[0064] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, for any pixel point in the image to be displayed, the initial pixel value corresponding to the pixel point can be contrast-adjusted by using the quasi-S-shaped curve mapping relationship based on the quadratic polynomial to determine the target pixel value corresponding to the pixel point. On the one hand, it can solve the problem that the common contrast adjustment methods in the prior art are limited by the LUT size from the source, avoid the fracture / fault phenomenon in the image after global contrast adjustment, and ensure the visual effect of the display device; on the other hand, compared with the standard S-shaped mapping relationship based on the exponential function, the quasi-S-shaped curve mapping relationship based on the quadratic polynomial used in the present disclosure is convenient to be implemented by a hardware circuit, and can reduce the cost input in the actual application scenario; according to the target pixel value corresponding to each pixel point, the target display device can be driven to output the display result corresponding to the image to be displayed, and it is ensured that the global contrast of the display result is higher than the global contrast corresponding to the image to be displayed.

[0065] It can be understood that the above-mentioned various method embodiments mentioned in the present disclosure can be combined with each other to form combined embodiments without violating the principle logic. Due to space limitations, the present disclosure will not elaborate. Those skilled in the art can understand that in the above methods of the specific implementation manner, the specific execution order of each step should be determined according to its function and possible internal logic.

[0066] In addition, the present disclosure also provides a global contrast adjustment device, an electronic device, a computer-readable storage medium, and a program, all of which can be used to implement any one of the global contrast adjustment methods provided by the present disclosure. For the corresponding technical solutions and descriptions, please refer to the corresponding records in the method section and will not be repeated here.
