Abstract

A method and a system for detecting a visual artefact of near-eye display are provided. The method includes generating a plurality of sub-test patterns, each of the sub-test patterns corresponding to a portion of pixels of a source pixel array of the near-eye display being turned on, and a full test pattern comprising all the plurality of sub-test patterns corresponds to each of the pixels of the source pixel array being turned on at least once; obtaining a plurality of sub-virtual images corresponding to the plurality of sub-test patterns; obtaining a final virtual image by integrating the plurality of sub-virtual images; and detecting the visual artefact, if any, based on the final virtual image.

Claims (44)

1 . A method for detecting a visual artefact of near-eye display, comprising:

generating a plurality of sub-test patterns, each of the sub-test patterns corresponding to a portion of pixels of a source pixel array of the near-eye display being turned on, and a full test pattern comprising all the plurality of sub-test patterns corresponds to each of the pixels of the source pixel array being turned on at least once;

obtaining a plurality of sub-virtual images corresponding to the plurality of sub-test patterns;

obtaining a final virtual image by integrating the plurality of sub-virtual images; and

detecting the visual artefact, if any, based on the final virtual image.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein generating the plurality of sub-test patterns further comprises:

dividing the source pixel array into two or more zones, each of the zones comprising a plurality of pixels; and

obtaining the plurality of sub-test patterns, the sub-test pattern corresponding to one pixel turned on in each of the zones.

3 . The method according to claim 2 , wherein generating the plurality of sub-test patterns further comprises:

turning on the one pixel in each of the zones in a preset order.

4 . The method according to claim 2 , wherein the two or more zones are divided equally, each of the zones comprising a same number of pixels.

5 . The method according to claim 4 , wherein each of the zones has a same shape.

6 . The method according to claim 5 , wherein generating the plurality of sub-test patterns further comprises:

turning on the one pixel in each of the zones in a same order.

7 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein in each of the sub-test patterns, a distance between two adjacent turned-on pixels is greater than a distance between two adjacent pixels.

8 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein obtaining the plurality of sub-virtual images corresponding to the plurality of sub-test patterns further comprises:

rendering a sub-virtual image for a sub-test pattern and capturing the sub-virtual image; and

repeating the rendering and the capturing until all the plurality of sub-test patterns have been performed.

9 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the sub-virtual image is obtained by a light measuring device (LMD).

10 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein detecting the visual artefact based on the final virtual image further comprises:

obtaining optical characteristics of the final virtual image; and

detecting the visual artefact based on the optical characteristics.

11 . The method according to claim 10 , wherein the optical characteristics comprises luminance and/or chromaticity.

12 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the visual artefact is detected at a pixel level.

13 . A system for detecting a visual artefact of near-eye display comprising:

a light measuring device (LMD) configured to:

obtain a plurality of sub-virtual images corresponding to a plurality of sub-test patterns; and

detect the visual artefact based on a final virtual image; and

a processor configured to:

generate a plurality of sub-test patterns, each of the sub-test patterns corresponding to a portion of pixels of a source pixel array of the near-eye display being turned on, and a full test pattern comprising all the plurality of sub-test patterns corresponds to each of the pixels of the source pixel array being turned on at least once; and

integrate the plurality of sub-virtual images to obtain the final virtual image.

14 . The system according to claim 13 , wherein the near-eye display comprises a source pixel array, and the processor is further configured to:

divide the source pixel array into two or more zones, each of the zones comprising a plurality of pixels; and

obtain the plurality of sub-test patterns, the sub-test pattern corresponding to one pixel turned on in each of the zones.

15 . The system according to claim 14 , wherein the processor is configured to generate the plurality of sub-test patterns by turning on the one pixel in each of the zones in a preset order.

16 . The system according to claim 14 , wherein the two or more zones are divided equally, each of the zones comprising a same number of pixels.

17 . The system according to claim 16 , wherein each of the zones has a same shape.

18 . The system according to claim 17 , the processor is configured to generate the plurality of sub-test patterns by turning on the one pixel in each of the zones in a same order.

19 . The system according to claim 13 , wherein the near-eye display is further configured to render a sub-virtual image for a sub-test pattern; the LMD is configured to capture the sub-virtual image; and the system further comprises a driver configured to control the near-eye display and LMD to repeat the rendering and the capturing until all the plurality of sub-test patterns have been performed.

20 . The system according to claim 13 , wherein the LMD is further configured to:

obtain optical characteristics of the final virtual image; and

detect the visual artefact based on the optical characteristics.

21 . The system according to claim 20 , wherein the optical characteristics comprises luminance and/or chromaticity.

22 . The system according to claim 13 , wherein the visual artefact is detected at a pixel level.
