    Abstract: The various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards methods for tone mapping High-Dynamic-Range (HDR) image data, as well as controlling the brightness of the image encoded by HDR the image data and/or the tone-mapped image data. HDR image is captured. A tone mapping function for the HDR image data is generated. To generate the tone mapping function, control points are dynamically determined based on an analysis of the HDR image data. The tone mapping function is fit to the control points. The tone mapping function is a non-linear function, and is described by a curve in a plane. The shape of the curve is constrained by a line generated from a portion of the control points. The tone mapping function is applied to the HDR image data. A color-compression is applied to the tone mapped image data to generate Standard Dynamic Range or Low Dynamic Range image data.

    Abstract: Various embodiments relating to image capture with a camera and generation of a processed image having desired image characteristics are provided. In one embodiment, a plurality of images of a scene captured by a camera and associated image metadata are stored. Image metadata associated with each image of the plurality of images includes image characteristics of that image, and each image has a different set of values of image characteristics. A request for an image of the scene that most closely matches a specified image characteristic profile that defines one or more values of one or more image characteristics is received. The image characteristic profile is compared to image metadata of each of the plurality of images. A processed image generated from the plurality of images of the scene having image characteristics that most closely match the image characteristic profile based on the comparison is provided.

    Abstract: In order to more accurately white balance an image, weightings can be determined for pixels of an image when computing an illuminant color value of the image and/or a scene. The weightings can be based at least in part on the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) of the pixels. The SNR may be actual SNR or SNR estimated from brightness levels of the pixels. SNR weighting (e.g., SNR adjustment) may reduce the effect of pixels with high noise on the computed illuminant color value. For example, one or more channel values of the illuminant color value can be determined based on the weightings and color values of the pixels. One or more color gain values can be determined based on the one or more channel values of the illuminant color value and used to white balance the image.
