AR head-mounted-display image compensation hardware/technique.

Abstract

There are provided systems and methods for performing image compensation using image enhancement effects. In one implementation, such a system includes a computing platform having a hardware processor and a memory storing an image compensation software code. The hardware processor is configured to execute the image compensation software code to receive image data corresponding to an event being viewed by a viewer in a venue, the image data obtained by a wearable augmented reality (AR) device worn by the viewer, and to detect a deficiency in an image included in the image data. The hardware processor is further configured to execute the image compensation software code to generate one or more image enhancement effect(s) for compensating for the deficiency in the image and to output the image enhancement effect(s) for rendering on a display of the wearable AR device while the viewer is viewing the event.

Background

BACKGROUND (1) Augmented reality (AR), in which real world objects and/or environments are digitally modified using virtual imagery, offers the opportunity to provide entertainment experiences that are more immersive and engaging. AR can be used to modify images of the real world through augmentation. For example, a user viewing real world objects through AR glasses or using an AR headset can see some or all of those real world objects overlaid by virtual projections. SUMMARY (2) There are provided systems and methods for performing image compensation using image enhancement effects, substantially as shown in and/or described in connection with at least one of the figures, and as set forth more completely in the claims.

Claims

1. A system comprising: a computing platform including a hardware processor and a memory storing an image compensation software code; wherein the hardware processor is configured to execute the image compensation software code to: receive a first image data corresponding to an event being viewed by a viewer in a venue, the first image data obtained by a wearable augmented reality (AR) device worn by the viewer; compare the first image data with a second image data including at least one structural feature of a model of the venue; detect a portion of the event is degraded or obstructed for viewing by the viewer, based on comparing the first image data with the second image data including the at least one structural feature of the model of the venue; generate an AR image based on the portion of the event that is degraded or obstructed for viewing by the viewer; and output the AR image for rendering on a display of the wearable AR device while the viewer is viewing the event. || 11. A method for use by a system including a computing platform having a hardware processor and a memory storing an image compensation software code, the method comprising: receiving, by the image compensation software code executed by the hardware processor, a first image data corresponding to an event being viewed by a viewer in a venue, the first image data obtained by a wearable augmented reality (AR) device worn by the viewer; comparing, by the image compensation software code executed by the hardware processor, the first image data with a second image data including at least one structural feature of a model of the venue; detecting, by the image compensation software code executed by the hardware processor, a portion of the event is degraded or obstructed for viewing by the viewer, based on comparing the first image data with the second image data including the at least one structural feature of the model of the venue; generating, by the image compensation software code executed by the hardware processor, an AR image based on the portion of the event that is degraded or obstructed for viewing by the viewer; and outputting, by the image compensation software code executed by the hardware processor, the AR image for rendering on a display of the wearable AR device while the viewer is viewing the event.
