Increasing dynamic range of a virtual production display

A method comprising:

• obtaining a presented image shown on a display;
• obtaining a pattern to detect in the presented image;
• detecting the pattern within the presented image,
• wherein the pattern indicates a modified region,
• wherein the pattern indicates a process used to modify the modified region, and
• wherein the pattern indicates an expected pixel value of the modified region,
• wherein the expected pixel value is a recording of a pixel value presented on the display;
• based on the pattern, calculating the expected pixel value of the modified region;
• replacing the pattern in the presented image with the expected pixel value;
• and
• storing the expected pixel value.

At least one computer-readable storage medium, excluding transitory signals and carrying instructions, which, when executed by at least one data processor of a system, causes the system to:

• obtain a presented image shown on a display;
• obtain a pattern to detect in the presented image;
• detect the pattern within the presented image,
• wherein the pattern indicates a modified region,
• wherein the pattern indicates a method used to modify the modified region, and
• wherein the pattern indicates an expected pixel value of the modified region,
• wherein the expected pixel value is a recording of a pixel value presented on the display;
• based on the pattern, calculate the expected pixel value of the modified region;
• replace the pattern in the presented image with the expected pixel value;
• and
• store the expected pixel value.
