通过动态调节屏幕亮度,在省电的同时保持视觉细节和对比度。

Temporal Brightness Management for Immersive Content

  • 基于亮度频带分解,优化每帧亮度以均匀分配对比度损失。
  • 实测在保证视觉质量前提下,显著降低显示功耗。
  • 适合注重能效的便携式虚拟现实设备使用。

现代虚拟现实头显需实时渲染高分辨率内容,对计算资源要求高,因此能效优先至关重要,尤其对于依赖电池的便携版本。系统能耗中相当大一部分来自显示屏。虽然降低屏幕亮度可节省大量电力,但可能造成可见细节与对比度损失。尽管可通过后处理增强对比度部分弥补,但本文方法与此类技术无关,专注于最优的时间维度亮度调制。我们提出一种技术,通过随时间动态调节亮度,在最小化可见细节丢失并避免明显时间不稳定性的情况下实现节能。给定固定功耗预算与视频序列,通过亮度图像的频带分解测量对比度损失,并离线优化每帧的亮度水平,确保对比度损失在时间上均匀分布。我们在多种内容上进行主观实验与消融研究验证该方法,使用内置硬件代理展示实际节电效果。最后,我们提出在线版本,进一步体现低层视觉模型在节能场景中提升内容质量的潜力。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Modern virtual reality headsets demand significant computational resources to render high-resolution content in real-time. Therefore, prioritizing power efficiency becomes crucial, particularly for portable versions reliant on batteries. A significant portion of the energy consumed by these systems is attributed to their displays. Dimming the screen can save a considerable amount of energy; however, it may also result in a loss of visible details and contrast in the displayed content. While contrast may be partially restored by applying post-processing contrast enhancement steps, our work is orthogonal to these approaches, and focuses on optimal temporal modulation of screen brightness. We propose a technique that modulates brightness over time while minimizing the potential loss of visible details and avoiding noticeable temporal instability. Given a predetermined power budget and a video sequence, we achieve this by measuring contrast loss through band decomposition of the luminance image and optimizing the brightness level of each frame offline to ensure uniform temporal contrast loss. We evaluate our method through a series of subjective experiments and an ablation study, on a variety of content. We showcase its power-saving capabilities in practice using a built-in hardware proxy. Finally, we present an online version of our approach which further emphasizes the potential for low level vision models to be leveraged in power saving settings to preserve content quality.
