Abstract:

Tone mapping operators (TMOs) are developed to convert a high dynamic range (HDR) image into a low dynamic range (LDR) one for display with the goal of preserving as much visual information as possible. However, image quality degradation is inevitable due to the dynamic range compression during the tone-mapping process. This accordingly raises an urgent demand for effective quality evaluation methods to select a high-quality tone-mapped image (TMI) from a set of candidates generated by distinct TMOs or the same TMO with different parameter settings. A key element to the success of TMI quality evaluation is to extract effective features that are highly consistent with human perception. Towards this end, this paper proposes a novel blind TMI quality metric by exploiting both local degradation characteristics and global statistical properties for feature extraction. Several image attributes including texture, structure, colorfulness and naturalness are considered either locally or globally. The extracted local and global features are aggregated into an overall quality via regression. Experimental results on two benchmark databases demonstrate the superiority of the proposed metric over both the state-of-the-art blind quality models designed for synthetically distorted images (SDIs) and the blind quality models specifically developed for TMIs.
