چکیده

We present a new method for automatically adjusting the tonal values of underexposed digital images. We make the most of the dynamic range of digital images, and adjust the tonal values through dynamic range remapping, with a specifically defined tone mapping operator. The operator comprises two concatenate terms. The first one is a global operator that adjusts the tonal values of underexposed image with a linear scale transformation as well as a nonuniform intensity reduction function. The second one is a local operator used for noise suppression and detail enhancement. With such operator, tone values of underexposed images are faithfully adjusted. Meanwhile, noises are suppressed without introducing noticeable artifacts into resulting images. Our method runs with high efficiency. Experimental results demonstrate its effectiveness.

Tone-mapping high dynamic range images by novel histogram adjustment

In this paper, we present novel histogram adjustment methods for displaying high dynamic range image. We first present a global histogram adjustment based tone mapping operator, which well reproduces global contrast for high dynamic range images. We then segment images and carry out adaptive contrast adjustment using our global tone mapping operator in the local regions to reproduce local contr...

Image lightness rescaling using sigmoidal contrast enhancement functions

In color gamut mapping of pictorial images, the lightness rendition of the mapped images plays a major role in the quality of the final image. For color gamut mapping tasks, where the goal is to produce a match to the original scene, it is important to maintain the perceived lightness contrast of the original image. Typical lightness remapping functions such as linear compression, soft compress...

Pseudo Hdr Video Using Inverse Tone Mapping

In the Pseudo-Multiple-Exposure-Based Tone Fusion with Local Region Adjustment [1], it introduces a framework for inverse tone mapping which uses only one Low Dynamic Range (LDR) image to evaluate High Dynamic Range (HDR) image. First, map LDR image to HDR images using S curve. By changing the parameters of S curve, we can get different EV scenes. Then, segment the image into four different lum...

High Dynamic Range Color Image Enhancement Using Fuzzy Logic and Bacterial Foraging

High dynamic range images contain both the underexposed and the overexposed regions. The enhancement of the underexposed and the overexposed regions is the main concern of this paper. Two new transformation functions are proposed to modify the fuzzy membership values of under and the overexposed regions of an image respectively. For the overexposed regions, a rectangular hyperbolic function is ...

High dynamic range optimal fuzzy color image enhancement using Artificial Ant Colony System

This paper presents a novel approach for the enhancement of high dynamic range color images using fuzzy logic and modified Artificial Ant Colony System techniques. Two thresholds, the lower and the upper are defined to provide an estimate of the underexposed, mixed-exposed and overexposed regions in the image. The red, green and blue (RGB) color space is converted into Hue Saturation and Value ...
