Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for displaying augmented reality image content perceived as being overlaid on background image content viewed through a light-transmissive viewing surface. Image processing circuitry may receive input augmented reality image data corresponding with a pixel position on the display panel, determine a perceived background brightness metric indicative of background brightness level at the pixel position based at least in part on captured background image data and an ambient lighting metric, determine a target tone mapping based at least in part on the perceived background brightness metric, and determine display augmented reality image data to be used by a display panel to display the augmented reality image content least in part by applying the target tone mapping to the input augmented reality image data.
