Abstract
The introduction of High Dynamic Range Imaging in computer graphics has produced a novelty
in Imaging that can be compared to the introduction of colour photography or even more.
Light can now be captured, stored, processed, and finally visualised without losing information.
Moreover, new applications that can exploit physical values of the light have been introduced
such as re-lighting of synthetic/real objects, or enhanced visualisation of scenes. However,
these new processing and visualisation techniques cannot be applied to movies and pictures
that have been produced by photography and cinematography in more than one hundred years.
This thesis introduces a general framework for expanding legacy content into High Dynamic
Range content. The expansion is achieved avoiding artefacts, producing images suitable for
visualisation and re-lighting of synthetic/real objects. Moreover, it is presented a methodology
based on psychophysical experiments and computational metrics to measure performances of
expansion algorithms. Finally, a compression scheme, inspired by the framework, for High
Dynamic Range Textures, is proposed and evaluated.
