High Dynamic Range (HDR) videos attract industry and consumer markets thanks to their ability to reproduce wider color gamuts, higher luminance ranges and contrast. While the cinema and broadcast industries traditionally go through a manual mastering step on calibrated color grading hardware, consumer cameras capable of HDR video capture without user intervention are now available. The aim of this article is to review the challenges found in evaluating cameras capturing and encoding videos in an HDR format, and improve existing measurement protocols to objectively quantify the video quality produced by those systems. These protocols study adaptation to static and dynamic HDR scenes with illuminant changes as well as the general consistency and readability of the scene's dynamic range. An experimental study has been made to compare the performances of HDR video capture to Standard Dynamic Range (SDR) video capture, where significant differences are observed, often with scenespecific content adaptation similar to the human visual system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
