description Resolution enhancement is crucial for human vision. However, it can be resource-consuming in the display pipeline. Therefore, there is a need to develop a lightweight resolution improvement algorithm specifically targeting visual attention regions. This paper presents a spatial-interpolation-based algorithm to improve the resolution of the visual attention area. The eye-tracking system consists of a near-infrared camera and an event camera is proposed to obtain the 3D gaze vector and eye moving trajectory. Secondly, the observation coordinates are obtained by gaze vectors, and the visual attention region is defined by the sensitive field-of-view angle. Then, interpolation-based adaptive spatial resolution enhancement and contrast enhancement adjustment are performed in the visual attention area. Finally, the feasibility of the proposed method is tested on both qualitative and quantitative dimensions. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can significantly improve the visual effects.
