Dithering in sRGB space

A system comprising:

• a display screen;
• a receiving module that receives, as an input, a non-linear sRGB-encoded data stream that includes pixel data that is to be displayed on the display screen;
• a mask generating module that generates a dithering mask for at least one of the non-linear sRGB-encoded data stream or a linear-encoded data stream;
• a dithering module that dithers the non-linear sRGB-encoded data stream using the generated dithering mask according to at least one of a scalar dithering algorithm or a vector dithering algorithm;
• a linearizing module that linearizes the dithered non-linear sRGB-encoded data stream for display on the display screen;
• and
• a data transmission module that sends the linearized RGB-encoded data stream to the display screen for display.

A computer-readable medium comprising:

• computer-readable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing device, cause the computing device to:
• receive, as an input, a non-linear sRGB-encoded data stream that includes pixel data that is to be displayed on a display screen;
• generate a dithering mask for at least one of the non-linear sRGB-encoded data stream or a linear-encoded data stream;
• dither the non-linear sRGB-encoded data stream using the generated dithering mask according to at least one of a scalar dithering algorithm or a vector dithering algorithm;
• linearize the dithered non-linear sRGB-encoded data stream for display on the display screen;
• and
• send the linearized RGB-encoded data stream to the display screen for display.
