High Dynamic Range image & video compression a review
Yang Zhang, Dimitris K. Agrafiotis, David Bull · 2013
High Dynamic Range (HDR) imaging technologies can provide high levels of immersion through a dynamic range that meets and even exceeds the instantaneous range of the Human Visual System (HVS). This increase in the level of immersion comes at the cost of significantly higher bit-rate requirements compared to those associated with conventional imaging technologies. As a result, efficient HDR-relevant coding solutions have to be developed. In this paper, we present a review of existing HDR image and video coding methods, thus establishing the current state of the art. We additionally present some of our own recent results in this area.
