Abstract
One embodiment provides a method comprising determining metadata corresponding to an input image, determining a black level of a display device and a peak luminance value of the display device, and determining a tone mapping function that adaptively compensates for the black level of the display device based on the metadata, the black level of the display device, and the peak luminance value of the display device. The metadata comprises a distribution of luminance values in the input image. The black level of the display device and the peak luminance value of the display device represent a lowest luminance value and a highest luminance value, respectively, achievable on the display device. The method further comprises applying the tone mapping function to the input image to generate a tone-mapped image that adaptively compensates for the black level of the display device and provided to the display device for presentation.
