Abstract:

As partial detail in a high dynamic range image cannot be shown on a common display, a dynamic range compression algorithm with local contrast preservation is presented. This paper addresses the problem that ordinary algorithms reduce local contrast and damage highlighted regions, and proposes a new S shaped luminance mapping curve. Luminance is successfully enhanced by controlling intensity of the curve. Experimental results show that the algorithm can effectively compress the image dynamic range with good visual effect.

Key words: local contrast, luminance mapping curve, dynamic range compression
