The visualization of SAR images involves the mapping of high dynamic range amplitude values to gray levels for lower dynamic range display devices. This dynamic range reduction process determines the visibility of details in the displayed result. It is therefore an important part of SAR visualization systems. The problem of dynamic range reduction for SAR images is related to the tone mapping p...

Tone mapping of high dynamic range (HDR) images for realistic display is a commonly studied. However, scientific visualization of HDR image for analysis of scene luminance has much less attention. In this paper, we have presented and implemented a simple approach for the reproduction and visualization of the color information in HDR images. We attempt several simple color visualizing functions,...

This paper offers an overview of the challenges and opportunities presented by high dynamic range (HDR) imaging. We examine the length of the imaging pipeline, from creation and storage through image editing and viewing, and discuss how each stage is affected by a move to HDR.

This article describes the theory and application of high dynamic range imaging (HDRI). HDRI is a recent technology allowing for capturing images with a much extended dynamic range whose values represent real-world luminance rather than just arbitrary pixel values. This article lays out the steps necessary to create HDR images, and highlights recent developments in the technology and its applic...

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 ...
