Abstract
The problem of reproducing high dynamic range images
on devices with restricted dynamic range has gained a lot
of interest in the computer graphics community. There exist
various approaches to this issue, which span several research
areas including computer graphics, image processing,
color science, physiology, neurology, psychology, etc.
These approaches assume a thorough knowledge of both the
objective and subjective attributes of an image. However,
no comprehensive overview and analysis of such attributes
has been published so far.
In this paper, we present an overview of image quality
attributes of different tone mapping methods. Furthermore,
we propose a scheme of relationships between these
attributes, leading to the definition of an overall image quality
measure. We present results of subjective psychophysical
tests that we have performed to prove the proposed relationship
scheme. We also present the evaluation of existing tone
mapping methods with regard to these attributes.
Our effort is not just useful to get into the tone mapping
field or when implementing a tone mapping operator, but
it also sets the stage for well-founded quality comparisons
between tone mapping operators. By providing good definitions
of the different attributes, user-driven or fully automatic
comparisons are made possible at all.
