The human visual system (HVS) exhibits nonlinear sensitivity to the distortions introduced by
lossy image and video coding. This effect is due to the luminance masking, contrast …

Due to the much larger luminance and contrast characteristics of high dynamic range (HDR)
images, well-known objective quality metrics, widely used for the assessment of low …

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 …

This paper addresses the problem of designing a global tone map** operator for rate
distortion optimized backward compatible compression of high dynamic range (HDR) …

Recently, the camera industry began the transition from low dynamic range (LDR) images,
using the traditional 8 bits per RGB color representation, to high dynamic range (HDR) …

With the growing popularity of high dynamic range (HDR) imaging, efficient compression
techniques are demanded, as HDR video entails typically higher raw data rate than …

In this paper, we propose a 2-layer lossless coding method for high dynamic range (HDR)
images based on range compression and adaptive inverse tone-map**. Recently, HDR …

Given its potential for more realistic rendering and enhanced user experience, High
Dynamic Range (HDR) imaging is raising a lot of interest both in industry and academia. In …

With production side for the HDR video being standardized, the distribution phase is still in
its infancy. Although a number of promising HDR video coding methods exist, the …

High dynamic range (HDR) images have many practical applications because they offer an
extended dynamic range and a more realistic visual experience. A HDR image is usually …
