Abstract

See full text

Techniques are provided for spatially adaptive tone mapping for display or reproduction of HDR images on devices with lower dynamic range capability. An example system may include a log-conversion circuit to convert luminance data, from a received image, to a logarithm domain. The system may also include an edge-aware filter circuit to decompose the log domain luminance data into a base layer, a small scale detail layer, and a large scale detail layer. The system may further include an amplitude adjustment circuit to shift and scale data amplitudes in each of the layers to a selected range and a linear-conversion circuit to convert the adjusted layers from the log domain back to the linear domain. The system may further include a tone compression circuit to generate compressed linear domain layers and a luminance data reconstruction circuit to generate compressed luminance data based on the compressed linear domain layers.
