Revertible tone mapping of high dynamic range imagery: Integration to JPEG 2000

This paper presents a revertible tone mapping approach based on subband architecture where the dynamic range of the HDR (High Dynamic Range) image is decreased to LDR (Low Dynamic Range) to fit several types of applications. The LDR image can be later expanded to get back the original HDR content. One important benefit of the proposed approach is its backward compatibility with low dynamic (LDR) image applications since no extra information is needed to perform a very efficient HDR reconstruction. In order to improve the efficiency of our TM (Tone Mapping), we couple it with an optimisation procedure to minimize the reconstruction error. Subjective and objective comparisons with state-of-the-art methods have shown superior quality results of both tone mapped and reconstructed images. As a potential application, the integration of the proposed tone mapping to JPEG 2000 encoder achieved competitive performance compared to reference HDR image encoders.

A scalable embedded JPEG 2000 architecture

The latest image compression standard, JPEG 2000 is well tuned for diverse applications, thus raising various throughput demands on its building blocks. Therefore, a JPEG 2000 encoder with the feature of scalability is favorable for its ability of meeting different throughput requirements. On the other hand, the large amounts of data streams underline the importance of bandwidth optimization in designing the encoder. The initial specification, especially in terms of loop organization and array indices, describes the data manipulations and, subsequently, influences the outcome of the architecture implementation. Therefore, there is a clear need for the exploiting support, and we believe the emphasis should lie on the loop level steering. In this paper, we apply loop transformation techniques to a scalable embedded JPEG 2000 encoder design during the architectural exploration stage, considering not only the balance of throughput among different blocks, but also the reduction of data transfer. The architecture is prototyped onto Xilinx FPGA.

Unified feature analysis in JPEG and JPEG 2000-compressed domains

Retrieving images compressed by different algorithms typically involves a pre-processing operation to decompress them onto the spatial domain from which features are extracted for further analysis. Our objective is to investigate common features that can be found in JPEG-compressed and JPEG 2000-compressed images so that image indexing can be done directly in their respective compressed domains. A fundamental difference between JPEG and JPEG 2000 is their transforms; the former uses a block-based discrete cosine transform (BDCT) while the latter uses a wavelet transform (WT). Direct comparison on BDCT blocks and WT subbands cannot reveal their relationship. By employing our proposed subband-filtering model, the BDCT coefficients can be concatenated to form structures similar to WT subbands. Our theoretical studies show that the concatenated BDCT and WT filters share common characteristics in terms of passband regions, magnitude and energy spectra. In particular, their low-pass filters are identical for Haar wavelets and highly similar for other wavelet kernels. Despite the fact that compression can affect features that can be extracted, our experimental results confirm that common features can always be extracted from JPEG- and JPEG 2000-compressed domains irrespective of the values of the compression ratio and the types of WT kernels used. As a result, similar JPEG-compressed and JPEG 2000-compressed images can be retrieved from one another without requiring a full decompression.

A real-time implementation of gradient domain high dynamic range compression using a local Poisson solver

This paper presents a real-time hardware implementation of a gradient domain dynamic range compression algorithm for high dynamic range (HDR) images. This technique works by calculating the gradients of the HDR image, manipulating those gradients, and reconstructing an output low dynamic range image that corresponds to the manipulated gradients. Reconstruction involves solving the Poisson equation. We propose a Poisson solver that utilizes only local information around each pixel along with special boundary conditions, and requires a small and fixed amount of hardware for any image size, with no need to buffer the entire image. The hardware implementation is described in VHDL and synthesized for a field programmable gate array (FPGA) device. The maximum operating frequency achieved is fast enough to process high dynamic range videos with one megapixel per frame at a rate of about 100 frames per second. The hardware is tested on standard HDR images from the Debevec library. The output images produced have good visual quality.     

Art,science, and appearance in HDR

Abstract— High‐dynamic‐range (HDR) image capture and display has become an important engineering topic. The discipline of reproducing scenes with a high range of luminances has a five‐century history that includes painting, photography, electronic imaging, and image processing. HDR images are superior to conventional images. There are two fundamental scientific issues that control HDR image capture and reproduction. The first is the range of information that can be measured using different techniques. The second is the range of image information that can be utilized by humans. Optical veiling glare severely limits the range of luminance that can be captured and seen. It is the improved quantization of digital data and the preservation of the scene's spatial information that causes the improvement in quality in HDR reproductions.

Exploiting multi-scale support vector regression for image compression

Unlike traditional neural networks that require predefined topology of the network, support vector regression (SVR) approach can model the data within the given level of accuracy with only a small subset of the training data, which are called support vectors (SVs). This property of sparsity has been exploited as the basis for image compression. In this paper, for still image compression, we propose a multi-scale support vector regression (MS-SVR) approach, which can model the images with steep variations and smooth variations very well resulting in good performance. We test our proposed MS-SVR based algorithm on some standard images. The experimental results verify that the proposed MS-SVR achieves better performance than standard SVR. And in a wide range of compression ratio, MS-SVR is very close to JPEG in terms of peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) but exhibits better subjective quality. Furthermore, MS-SVR even outperforms JPEG on both PSNR and subjective quality when the compression ratio is higher enough, for example 25:1 for Lena image. Even when compared with JPEG-2000, the results show greatly similar trend as those in JPEG experiments, except that the compression ratio is a bit higher where our proposed MS-SVR will outperform JPEG-2000.
