Background and/or ambient sensor based image processing for transparent displays

A transparent display enhancement system, comprising:

• a processing subsystem having at least one processor and memory storing computer instructions;
• wherein the transparent display enhancement system is configured so that, when the computer instructions are executed by the at least one processor, the transparent display enhancement system:
• obtains content to be displayed on a transparent display;
• obtains ambient light data from an ambient light sensor;
• obtains transparent display background data for the transparent display;
• determines localized visibility degradation data for a plurality of local portions of the transparent display, wherein the localized visibility degradation data is determined based on the ambient light data and the transparent display background data, wherein the localized visibility degradation data is pixelwise visibility degradation data whereby each local portion of the plurality of local portions of the content corresponds to a pixel of the content;
• and
• generates enhanced content for display on the transparent display based on the localized visibility degradation data, wherein the enhanced content is generated based on the pixelwise visibility degradation data so that the enhanced content includes a plurality of adjusted pixel values, wherein each adjusted pixel value of the plurality of adjusted pixel values is for a pixel of the content and is determined based on respective data of the pixelwise visibility degradation data for the pixel, and wherein determining the adjusted pixel value includes controlling a transmittance rejection rate for the pixel based on the respective data of the pixelwise visibility degradation data for the pixel.

A non-transitory, computer-readable memory comprising computer instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a processing subsystem, causes the processing subsystem to:

• obtain content to be displayed on a transparent display;
• obtain ambient light data from an ambient light sensor;
• obtain transparent display background data for the transparent display;
• determine localized visibility degradation data for a plurality of local portions of the transparent display, wherein the localized visibility degradation data is determined based on the ambient light data and the transparent display background data, wherein the localized visibility degradation data is pixelwise visibility degradation data whereby each local portion of the plurality of local portions of the content corresponds to a pixel of the content;
• and
• generate enhanced content for display on the transparent display based on the localized visibility degradation data, wherein the enhanced content is generated based on the pixelwise visibility degradation data so that the enhanced content includes a plurality of adjusted pixel values, wherein each adjusted pixel value of the plurality of adjusted pixel values is for a pixel of the content and is determined based on respective data of the pixelwise visibility degradation data for the pixel, and wherein determining the adjusted pixel value includes controlling a transmittance rejection rate for the pixel based on the respective data of the pixelwise visibility degradation data for the pixel.
