SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TONE MAPPING OF HIGH DYNAMIC RANGE IMAGES FOR HIGH-QUALITY DEEP LEARNING BASED PROCESSING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18491533 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TONE MAPPING OF HIGH DYNAMIC RANGE IMAGES FOR HIGH-QUALITY DEEP LEARNING BASED PROCESSING

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes systems and methods for tone mapping high dynamic range (HDR) images for deep learning based processing using a graphics processor. The processor computes an auto-exposure scale for an image, scales the image accordingly, and applies a tone mapping operator to generate a tone mapped image.

  • Graphics processor used for tone mapping of HDR images
  • Auto-exposure scale computation for effective tone mapping
  • Application of tone mapping operator including a log function
  • Scaling of the log function for generating a tone mapped image

Original Abstract Submitted

Systems and methods for tone mapping of high dynamic range (HDR) images for high-quality deep learning based processing are disclosed. In one embodiment, a graphics processor includes a media pipeline to generate media requests for processing images and an execution unit to receive media requests from the media pipeline. The execution unit is configured to compute an auto-exposure scale for an image to effectively tone map the image, to scale the image with the computed auto-exposure scale, and to apply a tone mapping operator including a log function to the image and scaling the log function to generate a tone mapped image.
