Abstract

Tone mapping of high dynamic range (HDR) images for realistic display is a commonly studied. However, scientific visualization of HDR image for analysis of scene luminance has much less attention. In this paper, we have presented and implemented a simple approach for the reproduction and visualization of the color information in HDR images. We attempt several simple color visualizing functions, and estimate their effectiveness through the evaluation factors with common HDR images.

Keywords: High Dynamic Range (HDR) image, color visualization, image analysis
