Part of the book series: Computational Imaging and Vision ((CIVI,volume 32))

Abstract

Mura – irregular lightness variation on uniformly manu-factured surface – is required to be detected to keep high quality of the display devices. The mura is perceived in spite of its low contrast, if its spatial frequency falls on a sensitive range of human vision. We propose a method considering characteristics of human vision to detect mura of the display devices’ components that have lower intensity than the final device.
