ABSTRACT
Display brightness data were collected under a wide range of surround conditions. A 24 in. (60.96 cm) LCD display was used to generate color stimuli, and a 107 in. (271.78 cm) two-dimensional illuminator was used to generate various surround conditions. The brightness values of the display under 89 monitor-surround-luminance combinations were collected from 10 or 24 observers. The surround ratio, SR, i.e., the luminance ratio between the surround and the monitor, varied from 0 to 90. Based on the collected brightness data, we propose a new c value as the log function of the surround ratio, SR, to improve the performance of the CIECAM02 brightness predictor Q.
ABSTRACT
Display manufacturers require new data and computational models that consider the effect of ambient illumination in order to develop higher-quality displays. In this study, typical variations of small-sized mobile LCDs that exist in the real world were first simulated using a device characterization technique. In addition, psychophysical attributes (e.g., naturalness, clearness, sharpness, contrast, colorfulness, and preference) affecting the image quality evaluation process were analyzed. Consequently, naturalness and clearness were found to be the most statistically significant psychophysical attributes for modeling image quality. As the ambient-illumination level was increased, the image quality was exponentially impaired and the contribution of clearness increased.
