چکیده

In this paper, we present a novel parallel implementation of a high fidelity inverse tone mapping operator. Our method makes use of point based graphics to accelerate density estimation, and multi-core CPUs for extracting light sources. We show that our method can achieve real-time performance on a lower-end graphics card, with minimum loss of quality.

A GPU-friendly method for high dynamic range texture compression using inverse tone mapping

In recent years, High Dynamic Range Textures (HDRTs) have been frequently used in real-time applications and video-games to enhance realism. Unfortunately, HDRTs consume a considerable amount of memory, and efficient compression methods are not straightforward to implement on modern GPUs. We propose a framework for efficient HDRT compression using tone mapping and its dual, inverse tone mapping...

Author's Personal Copy Assessment of Video Tone-mapping: Are Cameras' S-shaped Tone-curves Good Enough?

The performance of video tone-mapping operators is investigated in a rating experiment using two criteria: overall quality and fidelity to real-world experience. The study includes a tone-curve used in commercial cameras, rarely considered in tone-mapping evaluation studies. The quality is measured for a range of parameter settings, revealing the importance of parameter fine-tuning and often un...

A Psychophysical Evaluation of Inverse Tone Mapping Techniques

In recent years inverse tone mapping techniques have been proposed for enhancing low-dynamic range (LDR) content for a high-dynamic range (HDR) experience on HDR displays, and for image based lighting. In this paper, we present a psychophysical study to evaluate the performance of inverse (reverse) tone mapping algorithms. Some of these techniques are computationally expensive because they need...

Perception-inspired tone mapping

The display of high dynamic range images and video requires a tone mapping algorithm to depict their original appearance on existing display devices whose capabilities in terms of dynamic range are insufficient. The insightful application of knowledge about human visual system can assure high fidelity of depiction in such an algorithm. In this thesis, we design new tone mapping models and impro...
