Abstract
Directional image sensor data may be acquired with one or more directional image sensors. A light source and illumination image may be generated based on the directional image sensor data. A number of operations may be caused to be performed for an image based at least in part on light source information in the light source image. The operations may include display management operations, device positional operations, augmented reality superimposition operations, ambient light control operations, etc.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- acquiring directional image sensor data with one or more directional image sensors;
- generating a light source image based on the directional image sensor data;
- causing one or more operations to be performed for an image based at least in part on light source information in the light source image;
- wherein the method is performed by one or more computing devices;
- wherein the light source image is generated in an image rendering environment, and further comprising:
- determining, based at least in part on the light source image, ambient light conditions incident on an image rendering surface;
- predicting how the ambient light conditions incident on the image rendering surface in combination with properties of the image rendering surface affect image qualities for images rendered on the image rendering surface;
- based on the predicting, setting one or more of black levels, contrast settings, white points or primary colors differently in different spatial portions of the image rendering surface in dependence on different ambient light conditions in the different spatial portions of the image rendering surface.

- generating a light source image based on the directional image sensor data;
- causing one or more operations to be performed for an image based at least in part on light source information in the light source image;
- wherein the method is performed by one or more computing devices;
- wherein the light source image is generated in an image rendering environment, and further comprising:
- determining, based at least in part on the light source image, light conditions in at least one portion of a background or surround of an image rendering surface;
- predicting how the light condition in the at least one portion of the background or surround affect image qualities for images rendered on the image rendering surface;
- based on the predicting, setting one or more of black levels, contrast settings, white points or primary colors in one or more spatial portions of the image rendering surface in dependence on the light condition in the at least one portion of the background or surround of the image rendering surface.
