چکیده

This paper presents a novel method for tone mapping high dynamic range images and videos for display in conventional low dynamic range devices. The new multi-curve method uses tone mapping curves that are adaptive to local luminance levels. The new method has the computational simplicity of curve based tone mapping methods and achieves results comparable to spatial operator methods. When applying the operator to render high dynamic range video, we introduce a bilateral style temporal filtering which successfully avoids undesirable shot noise and ghosting effects. It is also shown that our HDR tone mapping operator is a useful image enhancement method for standard format (8bits/pixel) images.

Flicker reduction in tone mapped high dynamic range video

In order to display a high dynamic range (HDR) video on a regular low dynamic range (LDR) screen, it needs to be tone mapped. A great number of tone mapping (TM) operators exist – most of them designed to tone map one image at a time. Using them on each frame of an HDR video individually leads to flicker in the resulting sequence. In our work, we analyze three tone mapping operators with respec...

A high dynamic range rendering pipeline for interactive applications In search for perceptual realism

Realistic images can be computed at interactive frame rates for Computer Graphics applications. Meanwhile, High Dynamic Range (HDR) rendering has a growing success in video games and virtual reality applications, as it improves the image quality and the player’s immersion feeling. In this paper, we propose a new method, based on a physical lighting model, to compute in real time a HDR illuminat...

Modifying Simple Spatial Operator for High Dynamic Range Images to Improve Image Quality and Automating the User Parameter

High dynamic range imaging (HDRI or just HDR) is a set of techniques that allow a greater dynamic range of luminance between the lightest and darkest areas of an image than current standard digital imaging techniques. The fundamental goal of image reproduction is to display images that correspond to the visual impression an observer had when watching the original scene. Tone mapping is a major ...

A tone mapping operator based on neural and psychophysical models of visual perception

High dynamic range imaging techniques involve capturing and storing real world radiance values that span many orders of magnitude. However, common display devices can usually reproduce intensity ranges only up to two to three orders of magnitude. Therefore, in order to display a high dynamic range image on a low dynamic range screen, the dynamic range of the image needs to be compressed without...

Improving Compression Performance in Bit Depth SVC with a Prediction Filter

High dynamic range (HDR) is a technique that allows a great dynamic range of luminance between the lightest and darkest area of an image. For video compression, the HDR sequence is reconstructed by inverse tone-mapping a compressed low dynamic range (LDR) version of the original HDR content. In this paper, we show that the appropriate choice of a Tonemapping operator (TMO) can significantly imp...
