Abstract

A display adjustment method and apparatus, a system, and a storage medium. The method includes: obtaining a reference position from an image displayed by a head-up display HUD system, where the reference position is related to a focal position, on the image displayed by the HUD system, of an eye of a user; obtaining a brightness weakening coefficient of each pixel based on a distance between each pixel in the image and the reference position; adjusting display brightness of each pixel in the image based on the brightness weakening coefficient of each pixel; and displaying an adjusted image based on the display brightness of each pixel in the adjusted image.

Claims (62)

1. A display adjustment method applied to a display system, the method comprising:

obtaining a reference position from an image displayed by the display system, wherein the reference position is related to a focal position, on the displayed image, of an eye of a user;

adjusting display brightness of a pixel in the image based on a distance between the pixel in the image and the reference position wherein the distance between the pixel and the reference position is positively correlated with the display brightness of the pixel;

and

displaying an adjusted image based on the display brightness of the pixel in the adjusted image,

wherein adjusting the display brightness of the pixel in the image based on the distance between the pixel in the image and the reference position further comprises:

obtaining a brightness weakening coefficient of the pixel based on the distance between the pixel in the image and the reference position; and

adjusting the display brightness of the pixel in the image based on the brightness weakening coefficient of the pixel,

wherein obtaining the brightness weakening coefficient of the pixel based on the distance between the pixel in the image and the reference position further comprises:

obtaining an initial brightness weakening coefficient of the pixel based on the distance between the pixel in the image and the reference position; and

obtaining the brightness weakening coefficient of the pixel based on the initial brightness weakening coefficient of the pixel, and

wherein obtaining the brightness weakening coefficient of the pixel based on the initial brightness weakening coefficient of the pixel further comprises:

when the pixel is located in a user focus area, using the initial brightness weakening coefficient of the pixel as the brightness weakening coefficient of the pixel, wherein the user focus area is related to the focal position or the reference position; or

when the pixel is not located in the user focus area, setting the brightness weakening coefficient of the pixel to a second value.

2. The display adjustment method according to claim 1 , wherein obtaining the brightness weakening coefficient of the pixel based on the initial brightness weakening coefficient of the pixel further comprises:

when the initial brightness weakening coefficient of the pixel is greater than or equal to a preset threshold, setting the brightness weakening coefficient of the pixel to a first value, wherein the first value is greater than the preset threshold; or

when the initial brightness weakening coefficient of the pixel is less than the preset threshold, using the initial brightness weakening coefficient of the pixel as the brightness weakening coefficient of the pixel.

3. The display adjustment method according to claim 1 , wherein obtaining the brightness weakening coefficient of the pixel based on the initial brightness weakening coefficient of the pixel further comprises:

when the initial brightness weakening coefficient of the pixel is greater than or equal to Hall the preset threshold, setting the brightness weakening coefficient of the pixel to a third value, wherein the third value is greater than the preset threshold;

when the initial brightness weakening coefficient of the pixel is less than the preset threshold and the pixel is not located in a user focus area, setting the brightness weakening coefficient of the pixel to a fourth value, wherein the fourth value is greater than the preset threshold, and the user focus area is related to the focal position or the reference position; or

when the initial brightness weakening coefficient of the pixel is less than the preset threshold and the pixel is located in the user focus area, using the initial brightness weakening coefficient of the pixel as the brightness weakening coefficient of the pixel.

4. The display adjustment method according to claim 1 , wherein

the preset threshold is preset;

the preset threshold is determined based on an initial brightness weakening coefficient of a pixel located at an edge of the image; or

the method further comprises:

receiving the preset threshold input by the user.

5. The display adjustment method according to claim 4 , wherein the preset threshold is a real number that is greater than 0 and is less than the initial brightness weakening coefficient of the pixel located at the edge of the image.

6. The display adjustment method according to claim 1 , wherein the reference position is the focal position.

7. The display adjustment method according to claim 1 , wherein obtaining the initial brightness weakening coefficient of the pixel based on the distance between the pixel in the image and the reference position further comprises:

obtaining the initial brightness weakening coefficient of the pixel based on the distance between the pixel in the image and the reference position and an offset of the focal position relative to the reference position.

8. The display adjustment method according to claim 1 , wherein adjusting the display brightness of the pixel in the image based on the brightness weakening coefficient of the pixel further comprises:

adjusting the display brightness of the pixel in the image based on the brightness weakening coefficient of the pixel by using a spatial light modulator of the display system.

9. The display adjustment method according to claim 8 , wherein the spatial light modulator comprises a first sub-spatial light modulator and a second sub-spatial light modulator, and an image pixel of the first sub-spatial light modulator is aligned with an image pixel of the second sub-spatial light modulator; and adjusting the display brightness of the pixel in the image based on the brightness weakening coefficient of the pixel by using the spatial light modulator of the display system further comprises:
