45 results about "Just-noticeable difference" patented technology

In the branch of experimental psychology focused on sense, sensation, and perception, which is called psychophysics, a just-noticeable difference or JND is the amount something must be changed in order for a difference to be noticeable, detectable at least half the time (absolute threshold). This limen is also known as the difference limen, difference threshold, or least perceptible difference. For many sensory modalities, over a wide range of stimulus magnitudes sufficiently far from the upper and lower limits of perception, the 'JND' is a fixed proportion of the reference sensory level, and so the ratio of the JND/reference is roughly constant (that is the JND is a constant proportion/percentage of the reference level).

A dual-panel display system is provided that comprises control modules and algorithms to select codeword pairs (CWs) to drive a first image-generating panel and a second contrast-improving panel. The first codewords is selected by considering some characteristics of the input image data (e.g., peak luminance) and to improve some image rendering metric (e.g., reduced parallax, reduced contouring, improved level precision). The first codeword may be selected to be the minimum first codeword within a set of codeword pairs that preserves the peak luminance required by the input image data. Also, the first codeword may be selected to minimize the number of Just Noticeable Difference (JND) steps in the final image to be rendered. The second codeword may be selected to similarly improve image quality according to a given quality metric.
