Abstract
A method and apparatus for processing augmented reality (AR) are disclosed. The method includes determining a compensation parameter to compensate for light attenuation of visual information caused by a display area of an AR device as the visual information corresponding to a target scene is displayed through the display area, generating a background image without the light attenuation by capturing the target scene using a camera of the AR device, generating a compensation image by reducing brightness of the background image using the compensation parameter, generating a virtual object image to be overlaid on the target scene, generating a display image by synthesizing the compensation image and the virtual object image, and displaying the display image in the display area.

A processor-implemented method with augmented reality (AR) processing, the method comprising:
- determining a compensation parameter to compensate for light attenuation of visual information caused by a display area of an AR device as the visual information corresponding to a target scene is displayed through the display area;
- generating a background image without the light attenuation by capturing the target scene using a camera of the AR device;
- generating a compensation image by reducing brightness of the background image using the compensation parameter;
- generating a virtual object image to be overlaid on the target scene;
- generating a display image by synthesizing the compensation image and the virtual object image;
- and
- displaying the display image in the display area.
An augmented reality (AR) processing apparatus comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- determine a compensation parameter to compensate for light attenuation of visual information caused by a display area of the AR processing apparatus as the visual information corresponding to a target scene is displayed through the display area;
- generate a background image without the light attenuation by capturing the target scene using a camera of the AR processing apparatus;
- generate a compensation image by reducing brightness of the background image using the compensation parameter;
- generate a virtual object image to be overlaid on the target scene;

- and
- the display configured to display the display image in the display area.
An augmented reality (AR) glasses comprising:
- a processor configured to
- determine a compensation parameter to compensate for light attenuation of visual information caused by lenses of the AR glasses as the visual information corresponding to a target scene is displayed through the lenses;
- generate a background image without the light attenuation by capturing the target scene using a camera of the AR glasses;
- generate a compensation image by reducing brightness of the background image using the compensation parameter;
- generate a virtual object image to be overlaid on the target scene;
