We present a tone reproduction operator that preserves visibility in high dynamic range scenes. Our method introduces a new histogram adjustment technique, based on the population of local adaptation luminances in a scene. To match subjective viewing experience, the method incorporates models for human contrast sensitivity, glare, spatial acuity and color sensitivity. We compare our results to previous work and present examples of our techniques applied to lighting simulation and electronic photography.
Perhaps the most comprehensive technique in this category is that of REF , which introduced a quite sophisticated tone reproduction curve technique that incorporated models of human contrast sensitivity, glare, spatial acuity and color sensitivity.
