Abstract: The various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards methods for tone mapping High-Dynamic-Range (HDR) image data, as well as controlling the brightness of the image encoded by HDR the image data and/or the tone-mapped image data. HDR image is captured. A tone mapping function for the HDR image data is generated. To generate the tone mapping function, control points are dynamically determined based on an analysis of the HDR image data. The tone mapping function is fit to the control points. The tone mapping function is a non-linear function, and is described by a curve in a plane. The shape of the curve is constrained by a line generated from a portion of the control points. The tone mapping function is applied to the HDR image data. A color-compression is applied to the tone mapped image data to generate Standard Dynamic Range or Low Dynamic Range image data.
