437 results about "Tone mapping" patented technology

Tone mapping is a technique used in image processing and computer graphics to map one set of colors to another to approximate the appearance of high-dynamic-range images in a medium that has a more limited dynamic range. Print-outs, CRT or LCD monitors, and projectors all have a limited dynamic range that is inadequate to reproduce the full range of light intensities present in natural scenes. Tone mapping addresses the problem of strong contrast reduction from the scene radiance to the displayable range while preserving the image details and color appearance important to appreciate the original scene content.

Radiometric compensation for temporal noise reduction in video

Systems and methods for providing a temporal noise reducer (TNR) architecture that improves TNR performance by adjusting for lighting differences between image frames. Temporal noise reduction is a core feature of a video processing pipeline, where TNR can be used to decrease noise in video streams. Some TNRs compensate for the motion of objects between frames, but lighting changes can also lead to additional noise. As an object's position moves from frame to frame, the lighting of the object may change. A lightweight tone-mapping and color-correction operator is added to the TNR feedback loop, matching the radiometric properties of a TNR reference frame to the radiometric properties of the current frame to compensate for radiometric differences, thereby increasing the effectiveness of TNR in handling incremental lighting changes and speeding up its response to abrupt lighting changes.
