Virtual Image Clarity Adjustment for Motion Sickness Reduction

The patent applies different image processing treatments to different regions of the image based on the movement amount of objects in each region. Objects with small movement amounts maintain their original resolution and contrast, while objects with large movement amounts have their resolution and contrast reduced. This local differentiation resolves the contradiction by preserving visual quality where needed while reducing motion sickness effects where movement is significant.

The patent segments the image into multiple regions based on object movement characteristics. By calculating the movement amount of each object and comparing it to a threshold, the image is divided into regions requiring different processing levels. This segmentation allows selective application of resolution and contrast reduction only to moving objects, maintaining overall image quality while addressing motion sickness.

The patent implements local quality differentiation by assessing the movement amount of each object individually. Rather than uniformly reducing quality across the entire image or peripheral regions, the system selectively applies resolution and contrast reduction only to objects exceeding a movement threshold. This ensures that stationary or slowly moving objects maintain their original clearness while fast-moving objects contribute less to motion sickness.

The patent introduces dynamic adjustment of image quality parameters based on real-time object movement characteristics. The resolution and contrast reduction is not static but adapts to the movement amount of each object, creating a dynamic balance between reducing motion sickness and maintaining visual clarity. This dynamic approach allows the system to respond to changing scene conditions while preserving object clearness where movement is minimal.
