Fast Tone Mapping Based on Sorting

Article Preview

Abstract:

Visualizing high dynamic range image or video on traditional display devices need fast tone mapping technique. Traditional bin-based histogram equalization is fast enough but cannot handle high dynamic range data, e.g. single or double precision. Other common tone mapping methods require a high computational complexity. In this paper, we propose a new continuous data equalization method based on simple sorting, which can quickly and efficiently enhance the visualization of high dynamic range data. This method can be applied to real-time visualization of high dynamic range video with cost effective hardware acceleration.
