Contextual matte bars for aspect ratio formatting

摘要

Systems, methods, and devices for adding contextual matte bars to format image data to another aspect ratio are provided. For example, a method may include receiving image data of a first aspect ratio into a processor. The processor may receive a characteristic of a destination display of a second aspect ratio, an indication of ambient lighting, an indication of a characteristic of the image data, or any number of these factors. The processor may add matte bars to the image data to cause the image data to be formatted to the second aspect ratio. The appearance of the matte bars may depend on the factors received by the processor. The formatted image data with these contextual matte bars then may be sent from the processor to the destination electronic display.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
receiving first image data of a first aspect ratio into a processor; receiving, into the processor, an indication of a characteristic of a destination electronic display comprising a physical texture of a bezel of the destination electronic display, wherein the destination electronic display comprises a second aspect ratio; adding matte bars to the first image data or a scaled version of the first image data in the processor to obtain second image data of the second aspect ratio, wherein an appearance of the matte bars depends on the indication of the characteristic of the destination electronic display, wherein when the bezel of the destination electronic display has a first physical texture, the appearance of the matte bars has a first visual texture, and when the bezel of the destination electronic display has a second physical texture, the appearance of the matte bars has a second visual texture; and providing the second image data from the processor to the destination electronic display.
