Abstract

This paper presents a new dynamic range compression method using region-adaptive gamma correction. Gamma corrections with different gamma coefficients are first applied to the observed image to generate several candidate images. Then, the proposed method produces the result image by adequately combining them according to the weight function based on local variances. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method significantly enhances image quality by bringing out the details not only in dark region but also in bright region.
