| Abstract(in English) | This paper proposes a new tone mapping operation which is implemented in integer input and integer output. A tone mapping operation (TMO) generates a low dynamic range (LDR) image from a high dynamic range (HDR) image. Since pixel values of an HDR image are generally expressed in a floating point data format, e.g. RGBE, OpenEXR, a TMO is also implemented in floating point calculations in conventional approaches. However, it requires huge memory cost, even though a resulting LDR image is expressed in simple integer. We treat a float-ing-point number as two integer, one corresponds to the exponent part, the other corresponds to the mantissa part. Our method performs a TMO with integer input and integer output to reduce memory cost. In our experiment, it is confirmed with PSNR and contrast evaluations that the proposed method offers LDR images of visually high quality comparable to the conventional method. |
