METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR TONE MAPPING AND INVERSE TONE MAPPING

A method of producing at least one output image signal representing, at least, a plurality of output luminance values in an output range of luminance values is disclosed. The method involves: identifying a mapping function based at least in part on a perceptually scaled distribution of a plurality of input luminance values in an input range of luminance values different from the output range of luminance values; transforming the plurality of input luminance values into respective perceptually scaled output luminance values according to the mapping function; transforming the perceptually scaled output luminance values into respective ones of the plurality of output luminance values; and producing the at least one output signal representing, at least, the plurality of output luminance values. Computer-readable media and apparatuses are also disclosed.
