Tone mapping High Dynamic Range Image using Cone Response Function based on CAM16

Abstract

This article presents a tone mapping approach to overcome several problems in the conventional tone mapping methods. The proposed tone mapping method is composed of tone mapping operator and cone response function based on CAM16 using CIE XYZ tristimulus values. In order for the resulting image to represent the detail information and to achieve the one-to-one correspondence without color distortion like color leakage, hue shift, and luminance shift, the proposed tone mapping operator consists of two parameters by using logarithmic function and power function, respectively. In addition, the adaptive gamma correction is used to control the dynamic range in the given image, parameter free. Thereafter, the resulting image is finally processed by using CAM16 to deal with mismatch between real-life scene and displayed image. The experimental results show that the proposed method yields better performance of the tone mapping over the conventional method in subjective and quantitative quality and color reproduction.
