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 …

To embrace the imminent transition from traditional low-contrast video (LDR) content to
superior high dynamic range (HDR) content, we propose a novel backward compatible HDR …

The wide variety of distortions that images are subject to during acquisition, processing,
storage, and reproduction can degrade their perceived quality. Since subjective evaluation …

In the last few years, researchers in the field of High Dynamic Range (HDR) Imaging have
focused on providing tools for expanding Low Dynamic Range (LDR) content for the …

Standards play an important role in providing a common set of specifications and allowing
inter-operability between devices and systems. Until recently, no standard for high-dynamic …

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 …

High dynamic range (HDR) rendering has the ability to faithfully reproduce the wide
luminance ranges in natural scenes but how to accurately assess the rendering quality is …

Attitude control of a space platform/manipulator system, using internal motion, is an example
of a Nonholonomic Motion Planning (NMP) problem arising from symmetry and conservation …

High dynamic range (HDR) images and video contain pixels, which can represent much
greater range of colors and brightness levels than that offered by existing, standard dynamic …

In this paper, we break new ground by presenting algorithms for fixed-rate compression of
high dynamic range textures at low bit rates. First, the S3TC low dynamic range texture …
