Patent number: 12524855Abstract: A method for inverse tone mapping includes obtaining a histogram of a low dynamic range image, called LDR image and obtaining an ITMO function, allowing obtaining a pixel value of a High Dynamic Range image, called HDR image, from a pixel value of the LDR image and a gain function depending on said pixel value of the LDR image. A search process is applied using the obtained histogram to identify areas of the LDR image producing bright areas in the HDR image when the ITMO function is applied on said LDR image. Information representative of the bright areas is used to determine when modifying the gain function to ensure the HDR image respects at least one predefined light energy constraint.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2021Date of Patent: January 13, 2026Assignee: InterDigital CE Patent Holdings, SASInventors: Laurent Cauvin, Marie-Jean Colaitis, Frederic Plissonneau, Guillaume Poirier
