Abstract
In order to make visible the image in a region which is hidden by an image sensor provided on a display unit when performing color calibration, an image display device of the present invention includes a sensor position detecting unit that detects a position on a screen where the image sensor is provided, and an image processing unit that displays, at another region on the screen, an image at the position on the screen that is detected by the sensor position detecting unit.
Claims12
An image display device for displaying a first image on a screen including first and second regions different from each other, the image display device comprising:
- a sensor position detecting unit that detects a position on a screen where an image sensor is provided, the position corresponding to the first region hidden by the image sensor;
- and
- an image processing unit that:
- specifies the second region being contiguous with the position on the screen where the image sensor is provided;
- by computing a difference between a total display region and the first region, calculates an image size of the second region;
- computes an image size of the calculated second region and an image size of the first region, and generates a new image that reduces an obtained total image size to become the image size of the second region;
- and
- displays the new image at the second region.
An image processing method for displaying a first image on a screen including first and second regions different from each other, the method comprising:
- detecting, on a processor, a position on a screen where an image sensor is provided, the position corresponding to the first region hidden by the image sensor;
- specifying the second region being contiguous with the position on the screen where the image sensor is provided;
- calculating an image size of the second region by computing a difference between a total display region and the first region;
- computing an image size of the calculated second region and an image size of the first region, and generating a new image that reduces an obtained total image size to become the image size of the second region;
- and
- displaying the new image at the second region.
