実施の形態1.
図1は、実施の形態1に係る表示装置100の構成を示すブロック図である。この表示装置100は、主画像と副画像とを同時にまたは切り替えて表示する装置である。具体的には、主画像は、表示装置100の主目的に対応する画像または表示装置100に表示される画像のうち主となる画像であり、副画像は、主画像以外の画像または主画像に付随する画像である。より具体的には、主画像は、公共交通機関の利用者を案内するための案内画像であり、例えば、車両(列車)、バス、船、飛行機などの乗客輸送手段の行き先、停車、乗り換えなどの案内情報を示す画像である。副画像は、上記案内画像以外の画像であり、例えば宣伝広告画像である。また、主画像は、グラフィック画像や文字画像であり、主として静止画像である。副画像は、自然画像やアニメーション画像であり、動画像、準動画像、または静止画像である。表示装置100は、例えば、車両や駅、バスやバス停、船や港、飛行機や空港など、公共交通機関に設置され、車両、バス、船、飛行機などの行き先、停車、乗り換えなどの案内情報に加え、宣伝広告画像やその他情報などを表示する。
本実施の形態2に係る表示装置は、以下に説明する画質調整に用いる主画像データの特徴量の制御に関する部分を除き、実施の形態1に係る表示装置100と同様である。以下の説明では、実施の形態1と同様の部分については説明を省略または簡略化し、実施の形態1と同一または対応する要素については同一の符号を付す。
本実施の形態では、副画像データは、時系列に並ぶ複数のコンテンツの画像データを含み、画質調整部は、コンテンツ毎に画質調整を行う際に、コンテンツの切り替わりのタイミングで、画質調整に用いる主画像データの特徴量を更新する。この構成によれば、副画像データのコンテンツの切り替わりにて、画質調整に用いる主画像データの特徴量の更新が行われるので、画質調整に用いる主画像データの特徴量が1つのコンテンツ内で変化する場合と比べ、画質調整に用いる主画像データの特徴量の変化による表示画像上の違和感が少ない。
本実施の形態3に係る表示装置は、以下に説明する画質調整における制御に関する部分を除き、実施の形態1に係る表示装置100と同様である。以下の説明では、実施の形態1と同様の部分については説明を省略または簡略化し、実施の形態1と同一または対応する要素については同一の符号を付す。
L1=L0+(La-L0)×α (0<α<1) ・・・(1)
例えば、式(1)においてα=0.8とした場合に、切り替わり前のコンテンツの平均輝度値が100、切り替わり後のコンテンツの平均輝度値が200であるとき、コンテンツ切り替わり直後のフレームに対する画質調整では、副画像データの特徴量として、100+(200-100)×0.8=180が用いられる。
Ln=Ln-1+(La-Ln-1)×α (0<α<1) ・・・(2)
例えば、式(2)においてα=0.8とした場合に、切り替わり前のコンテンツの平均輝度値が100、切り替わり後のコンテンツの平均輝度値が200であるとき、コンテンツ切り替わり直後の1番目のフレームに対する画質調整では、副画像データの特徴量として、100+(200-100)×0.8=180が用いられ、次の2番目のフレームに対する画質調整では、副画像データの特徴量として、180+(200-180)×0.8=196が用いられる。つまり、画質調整部26は、画質調整に用いる副画像データの特徴量を、ある一定の時定数をもって変化させる。
本実施の形態では、副画像データは、第1のコンテンツの画像データと、当該第1のコンテンツに後続する第2のコンテンツの画像データとを含み、画質調整部は、第2のコンテンツの画像データのうち、第1のコンテンツから第2のコンテンツへの切り替わり直後の部分に対して画質調整を行う場合、切り替わり前後での調整後の副画像データの特徴量の変化を抑制するための制御を行う。具体的には、画質調整部は、上記切り替わり直後の部分に対して画質調整を行う場合、副画像データの特徴量として、第1のコンテンツの画像データから算出される特徴量と第2のコンテンツの画像データから算出される特徴量との間の所定の特徴量を用いる。本実施の形態によれば、副画像データのコンテンツの切り替わりによる表示画像の急激な変化(例えば表示画像中の副画像の輝度値等の画質の急激な変化)を抑えることができ、これにより、表示画像の急激な変化による違和感を少なくし、表示画像の見やすさを向上させることができる。
本実施の形態4に係る表示装置は、以下に説明する画質調整に用いる特徴量の制御に関する部分を除き、実施の形態1に係る表示装置100と同様である。以下の説明では、実施の形態1と同様の部分については説明を省略または簡略化し、実施の形態1と同一または対応する要素については同一の符号を付す。
本実施の形態では、画像処理部は、表示画像データの特徴量を算出する第3の特徴量算出部をさらに備え、画質調整部は、表示モード情報により示される表示モードが同時表示モードまたは主画像表示モードから副画像表示モードに切り替わる場合、切り替わり後の副画像表示モードに対応する副画像データに対して画質調整を行うとき、主画像データの特徴量の代わりに、第3の特徴量算出部で算出された切り替わり前の表示モードに対応する表示画像データの特徴量を用いる。すなわち、画質調整部は、表示モード情報により示される表示モードが同時表示モードまたは主画像表示モードから副画像表示モードに切り替わる場合、切り替わり後の副画像表示モードに対応する副画像データに対して画質調整を行うとき、第2の特徴量算出部で算出された副画像データの特徴量と第3の特徴量算出部で算出された切り替わり前の表示モードに対応する表示画像データの特徴量との差と比べて、調整後の副画像データの特徴量と上記表示画像データの特徴量との差が小さくなるように画質調整を行う。この構成によれば、表示モードが同時表示モードまたは主画像表示モードから副画像表示モードに切り替わる場合に、切り替わり前の表示画像データの特徴量と切り替わり後の表示画像データ(調整後の副画像データ)の特徴量との差を小さくすることにより、表示モード切り替わり時の表示画像の輝度等の特徴量の変化を小さくすることができ、画像の視認性を向上させることができる。具体的には、表示モードが同時表示モードから副画像表示モードに切り替わる場合に、同時表示モード時の画面全体の輝度に比べて副画像表示モード時の副画像の輝度が低いときや、同時表示モード時の画面全体の輝度に比べて副画像表示モード時の副画像の輝度が高いときに、切り替わり時の輝度差(輝度変化)を縮めることにより、両者を時間的に連続して見た場合の見やすさを改善することができる。
本実施の形態5に係る表示装置は、以下に説明する主画像データの補正に関する部分を除き、実施の形態1に係る表示装置100と同様である。以下の説明では、実施の形態1と同様の部分については説明を省略または簡略化し、実施の形態1と同一または対応する要素については同一の符号を付す。
本実施の形態では、画像処理部は、表示部の周辺環境に応じて主画像データを補正する主画像データ補正部をさらに備え、第1の特徴量算出部および表示画像データ生成部は、主画像データ入力部に入力された主画像データの代わりに、主画像データ補正部により補正された主画像データを用いる。この構成によれば、表示部の周辺環境に応じて適切に主画像データを表示することができる。また、例えば、当該表示装置向けに用意された案内表示などの主画像データについても、表示装置の周辺環境に応じて補正することが好ましい場合があり、主画像データに対して事前に適切な補正をかけることによって、以降の副画像データの調整を適切に行うことができる。
また、上記各実施の形態において、画像処理部1は、リサイズ部24で副画像データをリサイズする代わりに、副画像データを表示モード情報に応じてリサイズして得られるリサイズ後の副画像データを、外部から取得してもよい。この場合、リサイズ部24は省略されてもよい。

前記表示画像データ生成ステップで生成された表示画像データの特徴量を算出する第3の特徴量算出ステップと、
をコンピュータに実行させ、
前記画質調整ステップは、前記表示モード情報により示される表示モードが、主画像と副画像とを同時に表示する同時表示モードまたは主画像だけを表示する主画像表示モードから、副画像だけを表示する副画像表示モードに切り替わる場合、前記切り替わり後の副画像表示モードに対応する副画像データに対して画質調整を行うとき、前記第3の特徴量算出ステップで算出された前記切り替わり前の表示モードに対応する表示画像データの特徴量から得られる基準の特徴量に基づき、前記算出された副画像データの特徴量と前記基準の特徴量との差と比べて、前記調整後の副画像データの特徴量と前記基準の特徴量との差が小さくなるように前記画質調整を行い、
前記基準の特徴量は、前記表示画像データの特徴量から予め設定された値まで徐々に変化する特徴量であることを特徴とする画像処理プログラム。
