Motion‐blur characterization on liquid‐crystal displays

Abstract— In this paper, several methods to characterize motion blur on liquid‐crystal displays are reviewed. Based on the assumptions of smooth‐pursuit eye tracking and one‐frame temporal luminance integration, a simple algorithm has been proposed to calculate the normalized blurred edge width (N‐BEW) and motion‐picture response time (MPRT) with a one‐frame‐time moving‐window function to LC temporal step response curves. A custom measurement system with a fast‐eye‐sensitivity‐compensated photodiode has been developed to characterize motion blur based on LC response curves (LCRCs). MPRT values obtained by using the algorithm mentioned above and those from the smooth‐pursuit‐camera methods agree. Perception experiments were conducted to validate the correspondence between the simulated results and actual perceived images by the human eyes. In addition, the insufficiency of MPRT to evaluate motion blur on impulse‐type light‐generation LCDs, by analyzing the measurement results of a scanning backlight LCD, is discussed.     

Power savings and enhancement of gray‐scale capability of LCD TVs with an adaptive dimming technique

Abstract— The luminance of a backlight unit for an LCD TV is adaptively and locally dimmed along with the input video signal in order to reduce the power consumption and also to improve the picture quality. By adopting the zero‐dimensional (0D), 1D, and 2D adaptive dimming techniques, a sample movie having 8.0% post‐gamma average picture levels (APL) could be displayed using 83%, 71%, and 50% of the original backlight power, respectively. For an adoption of the 2D dimming, an LED backlight is preferable. The adaptive‐dimming technique also allows the differential aging characteristics between the LED components and temperature dependence of color and luminance to be overcome. From simulations of a reduction in power consumption, it was found that 40 × 40 pixels is a unit of the local dimming, 30 frames for the sampling period, 24 dimming steps, and an equal‐signal‐step method for determining the dimming factor have been found to be appropriate. The gray‐scale capability of low‐luminance images can also be improved by dimming the backlight luminance and expanding the input signal. By using an LCD TV having an 8‐bit capability, an 11‐bit‐equivalent gray‐scale expression was experimentally proven.     

Characterizing displays by their temporal aperture: A theoretical framework

Abstract— The spatio‐temporal aperture and sample rate of a video display determines both the static and dynamic resolution of the video signal that is rendered. The dynamic display characteristics like the visibility of large‐area flicker, motion judder, and motion blur can be derived from the frame rate and the temporal extent of the pixel aperture (i.e., the temporal aperture). For example, liquid‐crystal displays (LCDs) have an aperture that is relatively small in the spatial dimension and wide in the temporal domain. Consequently, moving objects displayed on an LCD suffer from motion blur. Especially in TV applications, the temporal dimension has a large impact on the overall picture quality. The temporal aperture, together with the frame rate, is shown to predict the amount of perceived large‐area flicker, motion judder, and motion blur and also the performance of motion‐blur reduction algorithms for LCDs. From this analysis it is further determined how to obtain the optimal temporal aperture of a television display, for which not only properties of the human visual system (HVS), but also the properties of the video signal have to be taken into account.

Spectral Duality for Finitely Generated Nilpotent Minimum Algebras, with Applications

We establish a categorical duality for the finitely generatedLindenbaum-Tarski algebras of propositional nilpotent minimumlogic. The latter's conjunction is semantically interpretedby a left-continuous (but not continuous) triangular norm; implicationis obtained through residuation. Our duality allows one to transferto nilpotent minimum logic several known results about inutitionisticlogic with the prelinearity axiom (also called Gödel-Dummettlogic), mutatis mutandis. We give several such applications.     

Array automata and operations on array languages

Array automata acting on scenes (two dimensional tapes) are defined. The set of scenes accepted by array automata are proved to be equivalent to the set of arrays generated by array grammars. Certain operators like substitution, homomorphic replication and insertion are extended to sets of arrays. These operators yield interesting classes of pictures.
