HDR Video Comfort Indicator System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional display devices are unable to effectively display High-Dynamic-Range (HDR) and Wide Colour Gamut (WCG) video content, leading to discomfort for viewers due to uncomfortably bright or saturated objects, as they are not configured to handle the increased luminosity and chromaticity captured by HDR/WCG techniques.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for processing HDR/WCG video content by identifying portions based on color, raster percentage, and temporal factors, and providing visual indicators to alert producers or viewers of potentially uncomfortable content, allowing for adjustments to be made to mitigate discomfort, such as overlaying a visual pattern on the content to indicate areas that may cause discomfort.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If HDR/WCG video content is displayed on conventional display devices, then the luminosity and chromaticity range is increased, but viewer discomfort occurs due to uncomfortably bright or saturated objects
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary analysis of video content to identify portions with high brightness or saturation levels before display. Visual indicators are overlaid on these identified portions during content capture or post-production, allowing producers to adjust the content in advance to mitigate potential viewer discomfort while preserving the HDR/WCG luminosity range.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If visual indicators are overlaid on video content to identify uncomfortable portions, then viewer comfort is improved, but the visual quality of the content may be degraded
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides visual feedback indicators to producers during content capture or post-production, enabling them to adjust brightness and saturation levels of identified portions. This feedback loop allows producers to make precise adjustments to maintain visual quality while ensuring viewer comfort, rather than requiring post-display corrections.
