Consistent Tone Reproduction
نویسندگان
چکیده
In order to display images of high dynamic range (HDR), tone reproduction operators are usually applied that reduce the dynamic range to that of the display device. Generally, parameters need to be adjusted for each new image to achieve good results. Consistent tone reproduction across different images is therefore difficult to achieve, which is especially true for global operators and to some lesser extent also for local operators. We propose an efficient global tone reproduction method that achieves robust results across a large variety of HDR images without the need to adjust parameters. Consistency and efficiency make our method highly suitable for automated dynamic range compression, which for instance is necessary when a large number of HDR images need to be converted.

A review of tone reproduction techniques
The ultimate aim of realistic graphics is the creation of images that provoke the same responses that a viewer would have to a real scene. While research into ways of rendering images provides us with better and faster methods, we do not necessarily see their full effect due to limitations of the display hardware. The low dynamic range of a standard computer monitor requires some form of mappin...
متن کاملWhich tone-mapping operator is the best? A comparative study of perceptual quality
Tone-mapping operators (TMOs) are designed to generate perceptually similar low-dynamic-range images from high-dynamic-range ones. We studied the performance of 15 TMOs in two psychophysical experiments where observers compared the digitally generated tone-mapped images to their corresponding physical scenes. All experiments were performed in a controlled environment, and the setups were design...
متن کاملParameter Estimation for Photographic Tone Reproduction
Tone reproduction algorithms attempt to compress a large range of pixel values into a smaller range that is suitable for display on devices with limited dynamic range. A recently proposed tone reproduction operator achieved this goal by emulating photographic practice. Like in photography, the manual tuning of a small set of intuitive parameters was required. In this paper we extend this photog...
متن کاملLightness Perception in Tone Reproduction for High Dynamic Range Images
An anchoring theory of lightness perception comprehensively explains many characteristics of human visual system such as lightness constancy and its spectacular failures which are important in the perception of images. We present a novel approach to tone mapping of high dynamic range (HDR) images which is inspired by the anchoring theory. The key concept of this method is the decomposition of a...
متن کاملColor Correction for Tone Reproduction
High dynamic range images require tone reproduction to match the range of values to the capabilities of the display. For computational reasons as well as absence of fully calibrated imagery, rudimentary color reproduction is often added as a postprocessing step rather than integrated into the tone reproduction algorithm. However, in the general case this currently requires manual parameter tuni...
