Abstract
A processor-implemented method for dynamic contrast equalization for a see-through display subject to varying light conditions is provided. The method comprises: generating an intensity map for the field of view of the see-through display using a selected image portion of the retrieved image that is coextensive with the field of view of the see-through display; determining, using the intensity map, one or more sectors of the see-through display, on which a set of pixels corresponding to symbology in an overlay is to be displayed, that are in a high light intensity area; applying a filter to the see-through display at the one or more sectors of the see-through display to block a portion of light emanating from an external environment in the field of view of the see-through display; and displaying the overlay on the see-through display wherein the symbology is displayed over the one or more sectors.
