When preparing high dynamic range images (HDR) for display on standard monitors, it is often necessary to make a choice between global and local tone mapping. While the former is simple and efficient, it may fail to reproduce details in high contrast image regions. Although, the latter can better reproduce details in such regions, it often comes at the cost of increased complexity and computational time. In this paper, we present an algorithm that combines the best of both approaches. We perform local tone mapping only in high frequency image regions where the visibility of details can be an issue. In low frequency regions, we employ global tone mapping to save computational resources without degrading quality. Our algorithm is most suitable for tone mapping operators (TMOs) that utilize the concept of local adaptation luminances.

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...
Do HDR displays support LDR content? a psychophysical evaluation Akyüz, Ahmet Oğuz; Riecke, Bernhard E.; Reinhard, Erik; Buethoff, Heinrich H. (2007-07-01) The development of high dynamic range (HDR) imagery has brought us to the verge of arguably the largest change in image display technologies since the transition from black-and-white to color television. Novel capture and display hardware will soon enable consumers to enjoy the HDR experience in their own homes. The question remains, however, of what to do with existing images and movies, which are intrinsically low dynamic range (LDR). Can this enormous volume of legacy content also be displayed effectivel...
Automatic saturation correction for dynamic range management algorithms Artusi, Alessandro; POULİ, Tania; BANTERLE, Francesco; Akyüz, Ahmet Oğuz (2018-04-01) 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....
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...
