Abstract

To properly reproduce a highy dynamic range image on a graphic display system is a harder problem than is commonly acknowledged. The last years have seen great progress in this area, and for non-interactive tone mapping problems adequate levels of realism have already been demonstrated, namely through the multiscale model of adaptation of Pattanaik et al.. Unfortunately, the high computational cost of their methods has so far precluded their use for the purposes of real-time rendering, and they have also been confined to single images without a temporal dependency. Conversely, the work of Tumblin et al. have demonstrated time dependency and interactivity for tone mapping techniques, but at the cost of significantly reduced realism. In this report we present a new high-quality time-dependent tone mapping algorithm which is comparable to the work of Pattanaik et al. in terms of visual realism, and demonstrate its viability on a number of test scenes.
