Uniform and non-uniform dynamic range remapping for optimum image display

摘要

A contexture dependent dynamic range remapping system utilizes background estimation, mask generation, parameter estimation and dynamic range remapping of an original image to provide an optimum output image. The dynamic range remapping includes an additive algorithm or a multiplicative algorithm or a combination of both algorithms. The output from the algorithms could be filtered by an edge-preserving filter to provide a filtered output image. The system adaptively compresses the dynamic range of the DC and slow-varying signals in the original image significantly while preserving and enhancing fine structures.
