Abstract - Tone mapping algorithms are used in image Single scale retinex (SSR) is based on the center/surround processing that reduces the range of high dynamic range algorithm which computes the difference in the logarithm (HDR) image to be displayed on low dynamic range (LDR) domain between each pixel and weighted average value of its devices. The retinex method is one of the tone mapping surround [3]. It is appropriate for gray-scale images. Multi- algorithms to provide dynamic range compression, color scale retinex (MSR) is introduced for improvement of detail constancy, and color rendition. It has been developed from but it is not enough for color images. Multi-scale retinex with single scale methods to multi-scale methods. Retinex color restoration (MSRCR) is developed to correct undesired algorithms still have drawbacks like the noise and color distortion in MSR [4]. However, MSRCR uses many desaturation. In this paper, we propose a new local tone parameters for the compensation of color distortion and it is mapping algorithm for enhancement of contrast, saturation, difficult to select the optimal value. Retinex in the RGB space and noise of HDR rendered images. In proposed algorithm, deals R, G, and B signals separately, accordingly there are an RGB image is converted into an HSV image. The V color artifacts that exaggerate color shifts and desaturation [5]. component provides intensity information of images and it can Another color spaces such as YUV and HSV also have be easily used to estimate the global and local illuminants. luminance and chrominance channels. These color spaces can The new algorithm introduces an adaptive gamma correction preserve the color elements and reduce the number of method as a function of local illuminants. computation because they apply retinex processing only to the luminance channel. Comparing the two color spaces, Keywords: Tone mapping, Retinex, Brightness function, HSV space shows better performance than YUV. The HSV Local adaptation space considers the perception of human vision, therefore 1 Introduction each H (Hue), S (Saturation), and V (Value) components are less correlation [6]. HSV retinex also is influenced by the The real world has wide dynamic range about 10,000:1 Gaussian filter size. When the filter size is small, the detail is from highlights to dark shadows and human eyes can directly improved but the halo artifact more appears. On the other, the perceive it. However, images captured by a digital camera are center/surround method in logarithm domain increases the different from the human perception for the original scene. noise in dark areas and decreases the color saturation in Because the dynamic range of image sensors and displays is highlights areas. B. Sun [7] has presented the luminance much narrower than that of the human eyes, images are easily based MSR (LBMSR) to reduce the noise in dark areas but it saturated in the highlights and shadows areas for lack of the still has low contrast problems in highlights areas. To dynamic range in the indoor and outdoor situations. enhance the image quality and generate neutral image, Tone mapping methods have been developed for compensation methods of these noise and desaturation are rendering the high dynamic range (HDR) images on low needed. dynamic range (LDR) devices. Tone mapping can be simply In this paper, we propose an adaptive tone mapping realized by histogram equalization, power-law transformation, algorithm for enhancement of HDR image rendering. This and compression by logarithmic or sigmoid functions. These algorithm includes the local luminance estimation parameters, algorithms are suitable for overall enhancement of LDR the minimum luminance threshold, the maximum luminance images but insufficient for local area enhancement and HDR threshold, and the visual gamma function. The minimum and compression. Histogram equalization causes color distortion maximum threshold parameters provide the boundaries of due to limited application for luminance components. And the perceptual luminance according to relative local illuminations. power-law transformation is difficult to adjust appropriate The visual gamma function is considered to the variation of gamma value for each image [1]. So, additional local tone the surround luminance level. And only the intensity mapping method is necessary because global tone mapping component of the HSV space is used to reduec the hue shifts. can cause loss of contrast and detail. And multi-scale method is applied to improve the Retinex theory, the model of lightness and color performance of proposed algorithm. Finally, we compared perception of human vision, is developed by Land [2]. This our algorithm with conventional algorithms. algorithm improves the brightness, contrast and sharpness of 2 Retinex Based Algorithms 3 Brightness Functions The center/surround method uses the difference between Stevens investigated the relation between brightness and each pixel and a weighted surround image in logarithm luminance [8].

Fairchild Munsell Color Science Laboratory Rochester Institute of Technology, Rochester, NY, USA 14623-5604 Abstract: chromatic opponent signals: red-green (L-M+S) and yellow-blue (L+M-S). A psychophysical experiment was performed to measure the Contrast sensitivity functions describe the visual visibility of chromatic noise. Through Principle Component system’s sensitivity to harmonic stimuli as a function of Analysis (PCA) on the results of this experiment, an spatial or temporal frequency. They change with spatial orthogonal color space with the luminance channel frequency and background mean luminance. Research has independent of chromatic channels was constructed. By shown that the achromatic, or luminance, contrast sensitivity transforming noise images into this space, the visibility of function peaks at an intermediate spatial frequency, and the chromatic noise can be predicted. Comparison with other low or high frequency sensitivity diminishes.4 Weber’s Law opponent color spaces illustrates their relative properties indicates that the threshold increases roughly in proportion regarding cross-talk of chromatic noise into the luminance to mean background intensity. It is universally accepted that channel (or vice versa). the luminance mechanism has the highest spatial resolution and that the contrast sensitivity functions (CSFs) are 1. Introduction band-pass for luminance channel, and low-pass for the chromatic channels.7, 8 Owen et al. did measurements of In digital imaging, the problem of reducing the amount of CSFs in not only red-green and yellow-blue directions but data required to represent a digital image is addressed by also in lime-purple and cyan-orange directions, resulting in image compression.

  • The Color Reproduction Problem
    The Color Reproduction Problem Consider a digital system for reproducing images of the real world: An observer views an original scene under some set of viewing conditions: a certain illuminant, a state of visual adaptation, a specific surround, with the subject occupying a particular portion of the visual field, etc. This scene is captured by photochemical means, providing an alternate reference1. In fact, because of the evanescence of real-world scenes compared with the handy persistence of their photochemical replicas, a photographic reproduction is usually treated as the primary reference. A scanner converts the reproduction to digital form, which is stored, manipulated, displayed on monitors of many types; possibly converted to a photographic negative or transparency; and printed on a wide range of printers. When a viewer observes each of the reproductions, he does so under a set of viewing conditions that are unlikely to duplicate the reference conditions. When simulated images are produced or reproduced, little changes but the references: 1Electronic cameras that can directly deliver digital representations bypass the photochemical step, but leave the rest of the diagram unaffected. Imaginary Viewer Viewing Conditions Viewing Conditions Proofing Viewing Conditions If the colors are defined in the simulation, they, along with a set of virtual viewing conditions, become the standard of comparison. However, in many simulations, the simulated image is not defined colorimetrically, and the reference is the scene as viewed by its designer on a monitor and the conditions under which the viewing takes place. The goal of both kinds of color reproduction systems is the same: to have the displayed and printed versions of the image reproduce visual sensations caused by the reference (success is particularly difficult to measure if the reference is the abstract simulation, since it cannot actually be seen by anyone).
