Abstract
In this paper we introduce an algorithm and related methods that expand the contrast range of Low Dynamic Range (LDR) videos in order to regenerate missing High Dynamic Range (HDR) data. For content generated from single exposure LDR sequences, this is clearly an under constrained problem. We achieved the expansion by inverting established tone mapping operator, a process we term inverse tone mapping. This approach is augmented by a number of methods which help expand the luminance for the required pixels while avoiding artifacts. These methods may be used to convert the large libraries of available legacy LDR content for use, for instance, on new content-starved HDR devices. Moreover, these same methods may be used to provide animated emissive surfaces for image based lighting (IBL). We demonstrate results for all the above applications and validate the resultant HDR videos with original HDR references using the HDR Visual Difference Predictor (HDR-VDP) image metric.
