Irystec Software Inc is introducing the world's first Perceptual Display Processing software engine. This patentx000D
pending technology significantly improves all display viewing experiences from smart watches to large screenx000D
displays to cars while reducing display power, improving readability and reducing eye strain. Irystec smartx000D
display rendering software provides a substantially improved user-friendly visual display experience andx000D
personalize the viewing experience to adjust for age and gender, ethnicity or visual acuity.x000D
This ENGAGE Plus project is a continuation to our previous ENGAGE in which we developed an integratedx000D
algorithm to modify the displayed content, i.e. brightness, contrast and color, according to the age of the viewerx000D
by unifying the age-driven contrast and color adaptation models into a unique model that takes into account thex000D
variability of the CSF and CMF with the age of the viewer. The results obtained from this adaptation werex000D
published in a conference article and are currently being incorporated into the production software of Irystec.x000D
In this new project we aim at expanding the age adaptation by incorporating spatio-temporal saliencyx000D
information into the model. Saliency is an indicator of visual attention and we intend to include it into thex000D
adaptation process in order to optimize the required processing. The most important objective of this project isx000D
the adaptation of the content to improve the power consumption of OLED displays by using saliency and agex000D
dependent color/brightness modifications. We will also address the modification of video sequences by usingx000D
information from saliency to reduce the processing requirements for video sequences.
