Assessment of video tone-mapping: Are cameras’ S-shaped tone-curves good enough?

Evaluation of Tone Mapping Operators for HDR Video

“…In this way we are not testing an automatic algorithm though, but a color editing tool and the skills of the artist. However, if these issues are well controlled, the method provides a convenient way to test TMO performance against user expectations and, therefore, it was employed in most of the previous studies: [KYJF04, DZB05, AG06, YMMS06, AFR * 07, ČWNA08,PM13].…”

Temporally Consistent Tone Mapping of Images and Video Using Optimal K-means Clustering

“…We have run our algorithm on a number of test HDR videos from [25,26,40], that were also used in the evaluation in [15]. An overview of the sequences can be seen in Table 2.…”

“…This field has received increasing interest during the last years, much due to the fact that HDR video data are gaining popularity [22,25,40,52]. Some of the earliest extensions to video simply apply TMOs image wise, adding temporal filtering to avoid flickering [22,35,41].…”

“…Some recent methods use more involved local processing and filtering schemes to achieve high local contrast and also reduce noise [2,4,6,7,14]. For overview and evaluation of video tone mapping operators see [15,40].…”

The high dynamic range imaging pipeline : Tone-mapping, distribution, and single-exposure reconstruction

“…This is probably also most true to how the images are to be viewed in the end. For these reasons, non-reference evaluations have been employed most often, both for tone-mapped images [8,13,47,62,67,137,274] and video sequences [75,201].…”
