Abstract: A method is described for converting an input image into an output image, the output image including an output luminance component made of elements. The method includes: obtaining an input luminance component from the input image; determining the output luminance component, the respective ranges of the output luminance component element values and input luminance component element values being of different range extension, the determining step including: —determining a first intermediate luminance component from the input luminance component and an exponent, —obtaining a mapping profile allowing for mapping a luminance component based on the input luminance component into the output luminance component, —determining a second intermediate luminance component from the input luminance component and the obtained mapping profile, —determining the output luminance component from the first and second intermediate luminance components; and converting the input image into the output image.

Abstract: A method for processing at least one digital image for reproduction on a display device. The image includes image elements, an image element being associated with color information having, in a first color space, a luminance component and chrominance components. The method includes the following acts: determining a number of image elements, known as “bright” elements, at least the luminance component of which has a value greater than a first predetermined threshold; evaluating a maximum tolerated brightness value as a decreasing function of the number of counted image elements; and transforming the first luminance components of the image elements to second luminance components, including for an image element, calculating an intermediate luminance value by applying an expansion exponent to the first luminance component value and multiplying the intermediate value calculated by the evaluated maximum tolerated luminosity value.

Abstract: A method for processing a digital image including image elements having a first luminance component. The first luminance component has a first value in a first predetermined interval. The display can render second values of second luminance components included in a second predetermined interval. The method includes: determining information representative of image brightness perceived by an observer, based on the first values of the first luminance component; calculating an expansion exponent as a function of the determined brightness information; transforming the first luminance components into the second luminance components, including calculating an intermediate luminance value by applying the calculated expansion exponent to the first luminance component value, multiplying the intermediate value by a length of the second interval, and obtaining the second value of the second luminance component based on the multiplied intermediate luminance value.
