CA 2436859

A digital video telescope to support a person with vision impairment, due to adjacent target objects being too small, too distant, or too poorly contrasted to be adequately perceived. The user of the telescope provides real-time image processing with a variable zoom control to locate and magnify the target object and use a contrast enhancement feature to clarify and therefore identify the object. The telescope has additional features that facilitate the real-time processing of object images in adverse viewing situations, such as low light conditions and high levels of background light conditions. The telescope allows the user to dynamically tune out distracting information present in the image and concentrate on desirable feature of the object represented by the image, so as to facilitate object perception and recognition.

L'invention concerne un vidéo télescope venant en aide à toute personne qui, par une vision déficiente, ne perçoit pas correctement des objets cibles adjacents de trop petite taille, trops distants ou insuffisamment contrastés. Le télescope offre un traitement d'image en temps réel, avec commande de zoom variable permettant de localiser et d'agrandir l'objet cible, et fonction d'amélioration de contraste pour clarifier et donc pour identifier l'objet. Le télescope comporte d'autres fonctions facilitant le traitement en temps réel d'images d'objets, dans des conditions d'observation défavorables, du type éclairage faible et niveau élevé d'éclairage d'ambiance. Le télescope permet un réglage éliminant de façon dynamique l'information parasite présente dans l'image, moyennant quoi il est possible de se concentrer sur la caractéristique voulue de l'objet représenté par l'image, et de faciliter la perception et la reconnaissance d'objet.
