Power Constrained Contrast Enhancement by Joint L2,1-norm Regularized Sparse Coding for OLED Display

摘要

Power-constrained image contrast enhancement is a fundamental step for improving the battery life in many modern consumer devices embedded an emissive-display panel, such as organic light emitting diode. Conventional power-constrained image contrast enhancement approaches in OLED displays are usually performed by histogram-relevant priors or heuristic curve-fitted techniques. Often, this results in either underexposure effects or color tone changes in the enhanced image. Different from the existing approaches, this paper proposes a novel power-constrained sparse representation model by joint l2,1-norm regularized sparse coding in order for gaining in power-saving and perceptible visual quality on OLED display, simultaneously. Experiments on both quantitative and qualitative evaluations demonstrate that the proposed PCSR approach noticeably outperforms the state-of-the-art power-constrained contrast-enhancement approaches.
