Abstract: Techniques include acquiring one or more input frames in which a first pixel value and a first brightness value are in a linear relationship. The techniques further include generating a converted input frame in which a second pixel value and a second brightness value are visually in a non-linear relationship by performing a non-linear conversion on the input frames. The techniques further include inputting the converted input frame to a machine learning model to cause an estimation frame to be acquired.
