Abstract
A method is described for inverse tone mapping the luminance (Yt(p)) of each pixel (p) of at least one image (It) of this sequence into an expanded luminance Ytexp(p)=Yt(p)Et(p). Ytenh(p), wherein Et(p) is an expansion exponent value extracted from an expansion exponent map built from low pass motion-compensated temporal filtering of said image (It) and wherein Ytenh(p) is a luminance-enhancement value extracted from a luminance-enhancement map built from high pass motion-compensated temporal filtering of said image (It).
