Abstract(in English) This paper proposes an inverse tone mapping operation using CNN with LDR based learning. In inverse tone mapping with CNNs, it is difficult to train CNNs by directly using HDR images as training data. In the proposed method, CNNs are trained with only LDR images, namely, HDR images are not used in training. The proposed CNNs learn a transformation from various input LDR images to LDR images mapped by Reinhard's global operator. Since Reinhard's global operator is invertible, HDR images can be reconstracted from LDR images mapped by the operator. For this reason, the proposed method enables us to generate high quality HDR images from various LDR images by transforming the input LDR ones via CNNs. Experimental results show that HDR images generated by the proposed method have higher quality than HDR ones generated by conventional inverse tone mapping methods, in terms of HDR-VDP-2.2 and PU encoding + MS-SSIM.
