  • Methods according to aspects of the present invention comprise three steps (each step is described in more detail after the following introductory list):
  • Step one is to image each color channel individually (e.g., red, green, blue) to reduce the number of emissive elements being imaged.
  • each color channel individually (e.g., red, green, blue) to reduce the number of emissive elements being imaged.
  • Super-sampling the panel under test using the imaging sensor is also required in certain embodiments, as an exact sub-pixel alignment between camera sensor elements and emissive display elements is typically impossible.
  • One factor that makes such a 1:1 sub-pixel measurement typically impossible is that camera technologies typically use rectangular raster and Bayer patterns for color reproduction, while display panels often use alternative (e.g., non-rectangular) patterns such as a pentile mappings.
  • accurate display measurements can be created by using twenty-five or more photosites on the camera sensor for each sub-pixel in the display. Additional camera photosites per sub-pixel yield better results in certain embodiments.

This is accomplished according to the present invention by smoothly blending the per-pixel correction factors (described in more detail later) with a 'null value' towards the periphery.

  • HMD usage i.e., low persistence, 90 Hz or 120 Hz frame rate.
  • measurements are typically taken in a dust-free and light-blocking enclosure in certain embodiments.
  • the imaging system In order to accurately predict the placement for each of millions of sub-pixels, the imaging system (lens) must be spatially calibrated beyond the sub-pixel level in certain embodiments. This correction is typically dependent upon factors such as camera lens model and live focus, fstop settings.
  • geometric lens eccentricities Prior to taking a color measurement in certain embodiments, geometric lens eccentricities are accounted for by placing a known grid pattern on the display. This is a common technique used by ordinarily skilled artisans in the field of in computer vision, although the precision of requirements according to certain implementations of the present invention go beyond typical uses. Post-calibration, the geometric accuracy of the lens and imaging system must be correct beyond the sub-pixel level of the imaging device in certain embodiments. That is, for a five-by-five per sub-pixel imaging of the display raster in such embodiments, the overall geometric distortion must be much less than one output pixel, equivalent to less than one-fifth of the spacing between display sub-pixels.
  • Figure 7 depicts a grid pattern (710) shown on a display panel under test for use during calibration and to facilitate solving for geometric lens eccentricities according to aspects of the present invention.
  • a black image is captured to determine the dark field response of the camera.
  • an image suitable for characterizing the per-pixel response is displayed.

  • Figure 8 is a grayscale version of a photograph depicting a captured image according to aspects of the present invention (800), after dark field subtraction and lens undistortion steps used in certain embodiments.
  • a deconvolution kernel may be applied in certain embodiments, which removes local flares in the imaging chain. This flare compensation can be validated using an image which measures the "PFS" (point-spread function). Typically, a single point pixel is illuminated in an otherwise constant valued region to compute this value.

  • Figure 9 is a photograph depicting corner-detection steps in a captured image (900) according to aspects of the present invention.
  • Figure 10 is a grayscale version of a photograph (1000) depicting an exemplary 32-by-32 pixel inset area in a captured image of a display panel under test after rectilinear alignment according to aspects of the present invention.
  • Each sub-pixel is centered in each box in certain embodiments, allowing for accurate energy estimation, where each box is the area integrated for each sub-pixel.
  • Each sub-pixel typically has a different intensity, as shown in Figure 11 ; this is the effect that is measured and/or corrected in whole or in part according to aspects of the present invention.
  • the energy for each pixel is calculated by summing all values in each pixel area.
  • Figure 11 graphically depicts pixel-by-pixel energy emission in a portion of an exemplary display panel under test (1100) according to aspects of the present invention.
  • This process is typically highly sensitive to dust landing on the panel during image acquisition. If dust or fibers land on the display, they will absorb and/or scatter some light so the overlapping pixels will be incorrectly measured as dim. When compensation is applied, these pixels will have strong positive gain factors applied and will stand out as objectionable "overbright" pixels.
  • multiple images of the panel may be taken in certain embodiments, with a blast of air (or other cleaning process) effected between each image capture. The energy estimates are computed individually for each captured image, and then merged using the max() operator for each pixel. As dust and other particulates can typically only make pixels dimmer (not brighter) during capture, as long as the dust moves between subsequent captures, its impact may be removed.
  • a set of global and per-pixel correction factors are computed. Iterative and non-iterative approaches to computing the correction factors may be implemented, as well as variations and/or combinations of these approaches, depending on the particular requirements of each implementation
  • a representative code value is selected and the energy estimate is measured, per pixel, for a flat-field image.
  • code value 51 (out of 255) may be selected. This value is dim enough that a fixed additive offset has a high signal-to-noise ratio, but it is bright enough that exposure times are not prohibitive.

  • PPD TCV ⁇ inv _ display _ response LPE x y / LPELA x y * display _ response TCV
  • the mura artifacts often change in intensity. This may be accounted for in certain embodiments by manipulating the correction gain factor to apply more, or less, of the correction as needed.
  • the per-pixel deltas with greater precision than the display, it is possible to globally recreate output luminance values with greater precision than the number of steps in the input (i.e., each individual pixel may only have 256 addressable steps, but local regions on average may have many more discrete output levels in certain embodiments).
  • Leveraging per-pixel display intensity variation to reduce banding artifacts is as interesting transmission technology, independent of the mura display artifact. For example, in a system with a high bit-precision image synthesis, a "mura-free" high bit-precision display, but a low bit-depth transmission link, one may introduce artificial pixel variation in the display to reduce the appearance of banding.
  • Synthetic pixel variation patterns can be created which have more compact representations and lower sampling discrepancy than the natural mura seen on OLED displays.
  • One formulation is to use a tileable noise pattern, with a uniform sampling over the luma domain of +/- 0.5 code values.
  • the noise tiling is a jittered stratified sampling or blue noise in certain embodiments, such that pixel values are unlikely to have an offset similar to their neighbors.
  • the appropriate quantization per-pixel may be applied such that banding appearance is reduced.
  • a tileable noise pattern may also be created that varies over time to further reduce banding artifacts, though in such a system the image synthesis in certain embodiments needs to encode and transmit which 'frame' of noise to apply to the pixel variation.
  • code value 0 presumes uniform random biases in the range of [0.0,1.0], for an intermediate code value (128), [-0.5,0.5] is selected, and for code value 255, [-1.0, 0.0] is used.
  • mura correction processing in accordance with aspects of the present invention is performed host-side on the graphics processing unit ("GPU').
  • GPU graphics processing unit
  • processing may be effected in silicon, in the headset itself, on a tether, or in the display panel electronics, for example.
  • Such alternative implementations may provide greater image compressibility, which is important in situations involving limited link bandwidths (e.g., wireless systems).
