Abstract

Claims (21)

1. An apparatus for a response time compensation system, comprising:

a plurality of complexity modules that are operative to determine a plurality of complexity values based on current image information and prior image information; and

a motion vector module that is operative to determine a desired complexity value based on a lowest of the plurality of complexity values and to determine a desired motion vector based on the lowest of the plurality of complexity values, wherein the desired complexity value and the desired motion vector is used to compress the current image information into a compressed bitstream.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the response time compensation system uses the compressed bitstream to provide display element response time compensation information for a display.

3. The apparatus of claim 2 further comprising a display that is operative to display an image based on the display element response time compensation information.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein at least one of the plurality of complexity values is based on a mean absolute difference of a plurality of blocks of the current image information and at least one of the plurality of complexity values is based on a mean absolute difference of a plurality of blocks of the prior image information.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 further comprising a motion prediction shifting module that is operative to provide the prior image information by time and spatially shift the current image information.

6. A method for response time compensation, comprising:

determining a plurality of complexity values based on current image information and prior image information;

determining a desired complexity value based on a lowest of the plurality of complexity values; and

determining a desired motion vector based on the lowest of the plurality of complexity values, wherein the desired complexity value and the desired motion vector are used to compress the current image information into a compressed bitstream.

7. The method of claim 6 wherein the compressed bitstream is used to provide display element response time compensation information for a display.

8. The method of claim 6 wherein at least one of the plurality of complexity values is based on a mean absolute difference of a plurality of blocks of the current image information and at least one of the plurality of complexity values is based on a mean absolute difference of a plurality of blocks of the prior image information.

9. The method of claim 6 further comprising providing the prior image information by time and spatially shifting the current image information.

10. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising information that when executed by at least one processor causes the at least one processor to:

determine a plurality of complexity values based on current image information and prior image information;

determine a desired complexity value based on a lowest of the plurality of complexity values;

and determine a desired motion vector based on the lowest of the plurality of complexity values, wherein the desired complexity value and the desired motion vector are used to compress the current image information into a compressed bitstream.

11. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 10 wherein the compressed bitstream is used to provide display element response time compensation information for a display.

12. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 10 wherein the information comprises hardware description language.

13. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 10 wherein the information describes a circuit to determine the plurality of complexity values, to determine the desired complexity value, and to determine the desired motion vector.
