  2. Contrast ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contrast_ratio

    An LCD technology is dynamic contrast (DC), also called advanced contrast ratio (ACR), and smart contrast ratio (SCR [4]) and various other designations.When there is a need to display a dark image, a display that supports dynamic contrast underpowers the backlight lamp (or decreases the aperture of the projector's lens using an iris), but proportionately amplifies the transmission through the ...

  3. Contrast (vision) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contrast_(vision)

    Contrast (vision) Six renditions of a rocky shore photo with incremental contrast levels, clockwise from bottom left. Contrast is the difference in luminance or color that makes an object (or its representation in an image or display) visible against a background of different luminance or color. The human visual system is more sensitive to ...

  4. Display contrast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Display_contrast

    The "luminance contrast" is the ratio between the higher luminance, L H, and the lower luminance, L L, that define the feature to be detected.This ratio, often called contrast ratio, CR, (actually being a luminance ratio), is often used for high luminances and for specification of the contrast of electronic visual display devices.

  5. Contrast (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contrast_(statistics)

    A contrast is defined as the sum of each group mean multiplied by a coefficient for each group (i.e., a signed number, c j). [10] In equation form, = ¯ + ¯ + + ¯ ¯, where L is the weighted sum of group means, the c j coefficients represent the assigned weights of the means (these must sum to 0 for orthogonal contrasts), and ¯ j represents the group means. [8]

  6. High dynamic range - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_dynamic_range

    High dynamic range (HDR), also known as wide dynamic range, extended dynamic range, or expanded dynamic range, is a signal with a higher dynamic range than usual. The term is often used in discussing the dynamic ranges of images, videos, audio or radio. It may also apply to the means of recording, processing, and reproducing such signals ...

  7. Visibility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visibility

    Visibility. In meteorology, visibility is the measure of the distance at which an object or light can be clearly discerned. It depends on the transparency of the surrounding air and as such, it is unchanging no matter the ambient light level or time of day.

  8. Liquid-crystal display - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid-crystal_display

    Brightness and contrast ratio: Contrast ratio is the ratio of the brightness of a full-on pixel to a full-off pixel. The LCD itself is only a light valve and does not generate light; the light comes from a backlight that is either fluorescent or a set of LEDs .

  9. Contrast-to-noise ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contrast-to-noise_ratio

    Contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) [1] is a measure used to determine image quality. CNR is similar to the metric signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), but subtracts a term before taking the ratio. This is important when there is a significant bias in an image, such as from haze. [2] As can be seen in the picture at right, the intensity is rather high even ...
