Digital Camera Workflow for High Dynamic Range Images Using a Model of Retinal Processing

Sabine Süsstrunk, Laurence Meylan, Daniel Tamburrino

We propose a complete digital camera workflow to capture and render high dynamic range (HDR) static scenes, from RAW sensor data to an output- referred encoded image. In traditional digital camera processing, demosaicing is one of the first operations done ...

Tone Mapping For High Dynamic Range Displays

Sabine Süsstrunk, Laurence Meylan

We address the problem of re-rendering images to high dynamic range (HDR) displays, which were originally tone-mapped to standard displays. As these new HDR displays have a much larger dynamic range than standard displays, an image rendered to standard mon ...

A Model of Retinal Local Adaptation for the Tone Mapping of Color Filter Array Images

Sabine Süsstrunk, Laurence Meylan

We present a tone mapping algorithm that is derived from a model of retinal processing. Our approach has two major improvements over existing methods. First, tone mapping is applied directly on the mosaic image captured by the sensor, analogue to the human ...

Multidimensional image enhancement from a set of unregistered differently exposed images

Sabine Süsstrunk, Patrick Vandewalle, Ali Ajdari Rad, Laurence Meylan

If multiple images of a scene are available instead of a single image, we can use the additional information conveyed by the set of images to generate a higher quality image. This can be done along multiple dimensions. Super-resolution algorithms use a set ...

The Reproduction of Specular Highlights on High Dynamic Range Displays

Sabine Süsstrunk, Laurence Meylan

Recent advances in the design of high dynamic range (HDR) monitors enable the display of images having a large dynamic range, close to that encountered in the real world. As their usage will increase, we will be confronted with the problem of rerendering i ...

High Dynamic Range Image Rendering Using a Retinex-Based Adaptive Filter

Sabine Süsstrunk, Laurence Meylan

We propose a new method to render high dynamic range images that models global and local adaptation of the human visual system. Our method is based on the center-surround Retinex model. The novelties of our method is first to use an adaptive surround, whos ...

HDR CFA Image Rendering

Sabine Süsstrunk, Laurence Meylan

We propose a method for high dynamic range (HDR) mapping that is directly applied on the color filter array (CFA) image instead of the already demosaiced image. This rendering is closer to retinal processing where an image is acquired by a mosaic of cones ...

Tone mapping for high dynamic range images

Laurence Meylan

Tone mapping is an essential step for the reproduction of "nice looking" images. It provides the mapping between the luminances of the original scene to the output device's display values. When the dynamic range of the captured scene is smaller or larger t ...

The Influence of Luminance on Local Tone Mapping

Sabine Süsstrunk, Laurence Meylan

We study the influence of the choice of color space for local tone mapping methods. Many local tone mapping methods do not perform well when applied independently to the three color channels of an RGB image. A common solution is to only treat the luminance ...
