Figure 1: An example of an HDR digital image of the RIT color cube rendered using the iCAM image appearance model to simulate human perception of the scene and (inset) rendered linearly. Recently, the field of color appearance modeling has been extended further into the spatial and temporal domains through efforts known as image appearance modeling. Image appearance models have applications in rendering and visualization of image data, cross-media image and video reproduction, and image quality specification. This paper provides an overview of one such model, iCAM, illustrates several examples of its application, and reviews a psychophysical experiment aimed at evaluating iCAM, and other algorithms for tone mapping of high-dynamicrange (HDR) images.
