P‐61: Dynamic Edge Enhancement Method

The Visteon True Color Image Enhancement system currently allows either edge detection to be activated or disabled. This study proposes a third option of implementing a dynamic edge detection method which dynamically enhances symbology edges as a function of the ambient lighting condition. Under nighttime lighting conditions, edge enhancement is not desirable since image artifacts are introduced that are not required for image visibility. As the reflected ambient lighting conditions increase, it is desirable to increase the visibility of black borders around symbology.
