Abstract

A device may include a display that display an image frame that is divided into adjustable regions having respective resolutions based on compensated image data. The device may also include image processing circuitry to generate the compensated image data by applying gains that compensate for burn-in related aging of pixels of the display. The gains are based on an aggregation of history updates indicative of estimated amounts of aging associated with pixel utilization. The circuitry may generate a history update by obtaining boundary data indicative of the boundaries between the adjustable regions, determining an estimated amount of aging, and dynamically resampling the estimated amount of aging by resampling a portion of the estimated amount of aging corresponding to an adjustable region by a factor and resampling of a different portion of the estimated amount of aging corresponding to another adjustable region by a different factor based on the boundary data.
