Abstract

Method comprising, for each pixel, obtaining a pixel expansion exponent value (E′(p)) by low pass filtering luminance values of colors of pixels in its spatial neighborhood, obtaining a pixel luminance-enhancement value (Yenhance(p)) by extraction of high frequencies of luminance values of colors of pixels in its spatial neighborhood, and then inverse tone mapping the luminance (Y(p)) according to the equation Yexp(p)=Y(p)E′(p)×[Yenhance(p)]c.
