ABSTRACT
Realistic display of high dynamic range images without introducing any artifact is a hard problem. In this paper we address this problem using a detail preserving local gain control approach. Unlike many other local gain control methods available in the literature, our method is simple, and does not introduce ugly "halo" artifacts around the high dynamic range edges. We demonstrate the usefulness of this method by showing several examples.

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 ...

To display high dynamic range (HDR) images onto conventional displayable devices that have low dynamic range (LDR) such as monitors and printers, we propose a piecewise tone reproduction operator with chromatic adaptation. The strong point of our ...
