色调映射是一种在保持视觉效果基本不变的前提下将高动态范围图像映射到常规低动态显示设备上进行显示的技术。针对现有方法存在细节模糊、边缘光晕及色彩失真等不足,提出一种宏微观信息增强与色彩校正的色调映射新方法。
方法

将给定的高动态范围图像映射到HSV(hue, saturation, value)颜色空间,分离亮度信息与色彩信息。基于人类视觉感知机制,在亮度通道构建宏观一致性和微观显著性的亮度感知压缩模型,并进一步通过调节模型缩放因子消除边缘光晕现象。基于颜色恒常性原理,在色度通道构建自适应饱和度偏移模型,融合亮度压缩信息调整图像的饱和度信息,解决色调映射所造成的主观色彩失真问题。

Objective
2
The traditional 8-bit images cannot accurately store and represent the real natural scene because the brightness variations in reality are very wide, ranging from faint starlight to direct sunlight with more than nine orders of magnitude. High dynamic range (HDR) imaging technology adopts floating-point numbers to address this deficiency. This technology can accurately represent the fidelity of a real scene with abundant brightness and chroma information. However, HDR images cannot be rendered directly on conventional display devices. Tone mapping (TM) technology aims to convert HDR images into traditional images while preserving the natural scene without losing information.Many excellent TM operators have emerged and have been widely used in business. However, the scene information is inevitably lost in different degrees because of the large-scale transformation and compression of the brightness range. In particular, even the state-of-art TM operators for complex scenes still have some problems, such as blurred details, edge halation, brightness imbalance, and color distortion, which seriously affect the subjective feeling of human eyes. Hence, a novel TM algorithm is proposed in this study via macro and micro information enhancement and color correction.
Method
2
Targeted algorithm structures with different strategies for the brightness and chroma domains are constructed in this study based on the human visual perception mechanism. First, an HDR image is converted from RGB color space to HSV color space, and the independent luminance information and chrominance information can be separated effectively. Thus, the subsequent processing can be performed smoothly without mutual interference. Second, different processing and optimization strategies are adopted for the brightness and chroma channels, respectively. For the former, the brightness range is greatly compressed to meet the demand of low dynamic range images while enhancing the detailed information perceived by human eyes from the macro and micro points of view. In particular, the brightness channel is divided into the basic and detail layers through the weighted guidance filter. The basic layer is compressed and combined with the macro statistical information to reduce the brightness contrast of the image and ensure the authenticity and integrity of the image background information and the overall structure. Subsequently, the salient region of the real scene is extracted by the gray-level co-occurrence matrix based on the human eye attention mechanism. According to the saliency information distribution, the texture information of the detail layer is enhanced. The edge halation is further eliminated by adjusting the scaling factor. Finally, the compressed base layer and enhanced detail layer are linearly fused to the targeted brightness channel while ensuring macro consistency and micro significance with the HDR image. For the chroma channel, a saturation migration model is designed with integrating brightness compression. This model can adaptively adjust the information saturation with brightness variety while keeping the hue information unchanged. According to the principle of color constancy, people’s perception of the color of the object’s surface remains unchanged when the color light irradiating the object’s surface changes. Moreover, experience shows that different saturation levels directly affect people’s subjective perception of color, even if the hue information remains unchanged. Therefore, a median shift model is constructed to adjust the image chromaticity saturation adaptively by combining the changes in the statistical information of brightness compression. Thus, the constancy of object surface color can be ensured, and the subjective color distortion caused by information compression of the luminance channel can be effectively avoided. The main experiments include the establishment of a database containing nearly 200 HDR images with different brightness dynamic ranges, light and dark area distribution, and detail richness. This database is used to verify the feasibility and generalization of the proposed algorithm.

Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is superior to the existing TM algorithms in subjective and objective evaluations. In terms of objective evaluation, the images are scored using the TM quality index (TMQI). The comprehensive evaluation score is obtained by calculating the naturalness and structural fidelity. Compared with the algorithms in the reviewed studies, the proposed algorithm exhibits a comprehensive TMQI score reaching the highest score of 0.862 9. The proposed algorithm is also superior to most of the existing methods in terms of naturalness and structural fidelity. For the subjective evaluation, we refer to the international mean opinion score standard, with scores ranging from 1 to 5, indicating the worst to the best. The subjects score the test images according to their personal preferences, which are combined with the images’ texture details, edge halation, brightness imbalance, and color distortion. The scores of 20 subjects, including 10 men and 10 women, are counted. Results show that the subjects give four points to most images mapped by the proposed algorithm, and a few images achieve the best five points. In particular, the average score of the proposed algorithm reaches the highest 4.3 points.
Conclusion
2
In this study, a brightness perception compression model with macro consistency and micro significance is constructed in the brightness channel. Thus, the drawbacks of the existing TM algorithms, such as the loss of detail texture information, edge halation, and brightness imbalance, can be effectively solved. Moreover, a saturation migration model is designed by integrating brightness compression in the chroma channel, effectively solving the color distortion caused by brightness compression. The experimental comparison results indicate that the TM algorithm via macro and micro information enhancement and color correction proposed in this study is better than the existing TM algorithms. Moreover, the proposed algorithm provides a beneficial condition for us to conduct high dynamic image generation and high dynamic video coding.
