Creating cinematic wide gamut HDR-video for the evaluation of tone mapping operators and HDR-displays

چکیده
High quality video sequences are required for the evaluation of tone mapping operators and high dynamic range (HDR) displays. We provide scenic and documentary scenes with a dynamic range of up to 18 stops. The scenes are staged using professional film lighting, make-up and set design to enable the evaluation of image and material appearance. To address challenges for HDR-displays and temporal tone mapping operators, the sequences include highlights entering and leaving the image, brightness changing over time, high contrast skin tones, specular highlights and bright, saturated colors. HDR-capture is carried out using two cameras mounted on a mirror-rig. To achieve a cinematic depth of field, digital motion picture cameras with Super-35mm size sensors are used. We provide HDR-video sequences to serve as a common ground for the evaluation of temporal tone mapping operators and HDR-displays. They are available to the scientific community for further research.

Style Aware Tone Expansion for HDR Displays
The vast majority of video content existing today is in Standard Dynamic Range (SDR) format and there is a strong interest in upscaling this content for upcoming High Dynamic Range (HDR) displays. Tone expansion or inverse tone mapping converts SDR content into HDR format using Expansion Operators (EO). In this paper, we show that current EO’s do not perform as well when dealing with content of...
متن کامل–high-fidelity Imaging– the Computational Models of the Human Visual System in High Dynamic Range Video Compression, Visible Difference Prediction and Image Processing Dissertation
As new displays and cameras offer enhanced color capabilities, there is a need to extend the precision of digital content. High Dynamic Range (HDR) imaging encodes images and video with higher than normal bit-depth precision, enabling representation of the complete color gamut and the full visible range of luminance. This thesis addresses three problems of HDR imaging: the measurement of visibl...
متن کاملScreen reflections impact on HDR video tone mapping for mobile devices: an evaluation study
This paper presents an evaluation of high-dynamic-range (HDR) video tone mapping on a small screen device (SSD) under reflections. Reflections are common on mobile devices as these devices are predominantly used on the go. With this evaluation, we study the impact of reflections on the screen and how different HDR video tone mapping operators (TMOs) perform under reflective conditions as well a...
متن کاملA comparative review of tone-mapping algorithms for high dynamic range video
Tone-mapping constitutes a key component within the field of high dynamic range (HDR) imaging. Its importance is manifested in the vast amount of tone-mapping methods that can be found in the literature, which are the result of an active development in the area for more than two decades. Although these can accommodate most requirements for display of HDR images, new challenges arose with the ad...
متن کاملInfluence of Context and Content on Tone-mapping Operators
High Dynamic Range (HDR) imaging is one of the technologies that are changing photo, TV, and film industries. The popularity and full public adoption of HDR content is however hindered by the lack of standards in evaluation of quality, file formats, and compression, as well as large legacy base of Low Dynamic Range (LDR) displays that are unable to render HDR. Many tone-mapping operators, aimin...
