High dynamic range (HDR) images require tone reproduction to match the range of values to the capabilities of a display. For computational reasons and given the absence of fully calibrated imagery, rudimentary color reproduction is often added as a post-processing step rather than integrated into tone reproduction algorithms. In the general case, this currently requires manual parameter tuning, and can be automated only for some global tone reproduction operators by inferring parameters from the tone curve. We present a novel and fully automatic saturation correction technique, suitable for any tone reproduction operator (including inverse tone reproduction), which exhibits fewer distortions in hue and luminance reproduction than the current state-of-the-art. We validated its comparative effectiveness through subjective experiments and objective metrics. Our experiments confirm that saturation correction significantly contributes toward the perceptually plausible color reproduction of tonemapped content and would, therefore, be useful in any color-critical application.

Evaluation of tone mapping and exposure fusion algorithms on HDR videos for face detection and recognition Çavdarlı, Fehime Betül; Akyüz, Ahmet Oğuz; Department of Computer Engineering (2022-2-08) High dynamic range (HDR) images have become popular recently especially for video surveillance systems. One of the most important reasons for this is that in areas where there is under or over-exposure, classical low dynamic range (LDR) images are insufficient to capture details, while HDR images have better visual details and contain wide range illumination values. However, since HDR images cannot be viewed on conventional LDR displays, additional processing such as tonemapping and/or fusion are required t...
Privacy protection of tone-mapped HDR images using false colours ÇİFTÇİ, Serdar; Akyüz, Ahmet Oğuz; PİNHEİRO, Antonio M. G.; Ebrahimi, Touradj (2017-12-01) High dynamic range (HDR) imaging has been developed for improved visual representation by capturing a wide range of luminance values. Owing to its properties, HDR content might lead to a larger privacy intrusion, requiring new methods for privacy protection. Previously, false colours were proved to be effective for assuring privacy protection for low dynamic range (LDR) images. In this work, the reliability of false colours when used for privacy protection of HDR images represented by tone-mapping operators...
Color Correction for Tone Reproduction Pouli, Tania; Artusi, Alessandro; Banterle, Francesco; Akyüz, Ahmet Oğuz; Seidel, Hans Peter; Reinhard, Erik (2013-01-01) High dynamic range images require tone reproduction to match the range of values to the capabilities of the display. For computational reasons as well as absence of fully calibrated imagery, rudimentary color reproduction is often added as a post-processing step rather than integrated into the tone reproduction algorithm. However, in the general case this currently requires manual parameter tuning, although for some global tone reproduction operators, parameter settings can be inferred from the tone curve. ...
A Gamut-Mapping Framework for Color-Accurate Reproduction of HDR Images SİKUDOVA, Elena; POULİ, Tania; ARTUSİ, Alessandro; Akyüz, Ahmet Oğuz; BANTERLE, Francesco; Mazlumoglu, Zeynep Miray; REİNHARD, Erik (2016-07-01) An integrated gamut- and tone-management framework for color-accurate reproduction of high dynamic range images can prevent hue and luminance shifts while taking gamut boundaries into consideration. The proposed approach is conceptually and computationally simple, parameter-free, and compatible with existing tone-mapping operators.
High dynamic range imaging pipeline on the GPU Akyüz, Ahmet Oğuz (2015-06-01) Use of high dynamic range (HDR) images and video in image processing and computer graphics applications is rapidly gaining popularity. However, creating and displaying high resolution HDR content on CPUs is a time consuming task. Although some previous work focused on real-time tone mapping, implementation of a full HDR imaging (HDRI) pipeline on the GPU has not been detailed. In this article we aim to fill this gap by providing a detailed description of how the HDRI pipeline, from HDR image assembly to ton...
