Abstract:
1. A method for tone mapping images with a tone-mapping processor, comprising: receiving, at a tone-mapping processor, a first image having a Bayer representation and an associated dynamic range; with the tone-mapping processor, applying a filter to the first image to produce a first luminance signal having an associated dynamic range; with the tone-mapping processor, tone-mapping the first luminance signal to produce a second luminance signal having an associated dynamic range that is lower than the associated dynamic range of first luminance signal; with the tone-mapping processor, producing a second image having a Bayer representation using the first and second luminance signals, wherein the second image has an associated dynamic range that is lower than the associated dynamic range of the first image; with the tone-mapping processor, demosaicing the second image having a Bayer representation to produce a third image having an RGB representation; and at the tone-mapping processor, sending the third image to a display.
