This book explores the methods needed for creating and manipulating HDR content. HDR is
a step change from traditional imaging; more closely matching what we see with our eyes. In …

Many new DCT-like transforms have been proposed since the first edition of this book. For
example, the integer DCT that yields integer transform coefficients, the directional DCT to …

High dynamic range (HDR) capture and display have seen significant growth in popularity
driven by the advancements in technology and increasing consumer demand for superior …

The Joint Photographic Experts Group recently produced a new standard, JPEG eXTension.
JPEG XT is both backward-compatible with legacy JPEG and offers the ability to encode …

In this lecture note, we describe high dynamic range (HDR) imaging systems. Such systems
are able to represent luminances of much larger brightness and, typically, a larger range of …

Still images have a significant share in the data created today. These images take up a lot of
space in their raw form. Image compression algorithms provide a much smaller …

Image metrics based on Human Visual System (HVS) play a remarkable role in the
evaluation of complex image processing algorithms. However, mimicking the HVS is known …

In recent years visual devices have proliferated, from the massive high-resolution, high-
contrast screens to the tiny ones on mobile phones, with their limited dynamic range and …

HDR-VDP 2 has convincingly shown to be a reliable metric for image quality assessment,
and it is currently playing a remarkable role in the evaluation of complex image processing …

In the big data era, image compression is of significant importance in today's world.
Importantly, compression of large sized images is required for everyday tasks; including …
