Visual Attention in Ldr and Hdr Images
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recent advances in high dynamic range (HDR) capturing and display technologies attracted a lot of interest to HDR imaging. Many issues that are considered as being resolved for conventional low dynamic range (LDR) images pose new challenges in HDR context. One of such issues is human visual attention, which has important applications in image and video compression, camera and displays manufacturing, artistic content creation, and advertisement. However, the impact of HDR imaging on visual attention and on the performance of saliency models is not well understood. Therefore, in this paper, we address this problem by creating a publicly available dataset of 46 HDR and corresponding LDR images with varying regions of interests, scenes, and dynamic range. We conducted eye tracking experiments and obtained fixation density maps, which demonstrate a significant difference in the way HDR and LDR capture attention of the observers.

Image Quality Assessment of Tone Mapped Images
This paper proposes an objective assessment method for perceptual image quality of tone mapped images. Tone mapping algorithms are used to display high dynamic range (HDR) images onto standard display devices that have low dynamic range (LDR). The proposed method implements visual attention to define perceived structural distortion regions in LDR images, so that a reasonable measurement of dist...
متن کاملImage Restoration by Developing an HDR Image for Minimizing the Blur in Image
It is the age of fast and good quality Digital images, those are subject to blurring due to many hardware limitations, such as atmospheric trouble, apparatus noise and poor focus quality. A high quality image restoration is done by making a High dynamic range (HDR). The (HDR) image generation had been studied in past years. Due to the expense and lack of HDR cameras, a lot of works try to gener...
متن کاملOn improving the pooling in HDR-VDP-2 towards better HDR perceptual quality assessment
High Dynamic Range (HDR) signals capture much higher contrasts as compared to the traditional 8-bit low dynamic range (LDR) signals. This is achieved by representing the visual signal via values that are related to the real-world luminance, instead of gamma encoded pixel values which is the case with LDR. Therefore, HDR signals cover a larger luminance range and tend to have more visual appeal....
متن کاملNoise reduction in high dynamic range images
Multiple images with different exposures are used to produce a high dynamic range (HDR) image. Sometimes high sensitivity setting is needed for capturing images in low light condition as in an indoor room. However, current digital cameras do not produce a high-quality HDR image when noise occurs in low light condition or high sensitivity setting. In this paper, we propose a noise reduction meth...
متن کاملEffective Compression of High Dynamic Range Images
There's a plenty of file formats designed for storing high dynamic range (HDR) images. But none of them provide satisfactory compression ratio and backward compatibility with existing file formats. In this paper we propose an approach to lossy compressing HDR data in a standard JPEG/JFIF file. An original HDR file is decomposed into a tone mapped version of it LDR (low dynamic range) 24bpp and ...
