Systems and methods for enhanced image adaptation

A computer-readable medium comprising computer-executable instructions for enhanced image adaptation for a display device having a target area T, the computer-executable instructions comprising instructions for:

• modeling an image with respect to a plurality of visual attentions to generate a respective set of attention objects for each attention of the visual attentions;
• for each of one or more image adaptation schemes, determining a respective objective measure of information fidelity (IF) of a region R of the image as a function of a resource constraint of the display device and as a function of a weighted sum of IF of each attention object (AOi) in the region R;
• selecting a substantially optimal adaptation scheme as a function of determined objective measures of IF with respect to the region R;
• and
• adapting the image via the substantially optimal adaptation scheme to generate an adapted image as a function of at least the target area T.

A computing device for enhanced image adaptation for a display device having a target area T, the computing device comprising:

• a processor;
