    Abstract: A method for brightness and contrast enhancement includes computing a luminance histogram of a digital image, computing first distances from the luminance histogram to a plurality of predetermined luminance histograms, estimating first control point values for a global tone mapping curve from predetermined control point values corresponding to a subset of the predetermined luminance histograms selected based on the computed first distances, and interpolating the estimated control point values to determine the global tone mapping curve. The method may also include dividing the digital image into a plurality of image blocks, and enhancing each pixel in the digital image by computing second distances from a pixel in an image block to the centers of neighboring image blocks, and computing an enhanced pixel value based on the computed second distances, predetermined control point values corresponding to the neighboring image blocks, and the global tone mapping curve.

    Abstract: A method of generating a high dynamic range (HDR) image is provided that includes capturing a long exposure image and a short exposure image of a scene, computing a merging weight for each pixel location of the long exposure image based on a pixel value of the pixel location and a saturation threshold, and computing a pixel value for each pixel location of the HDR image as a weighted sum of corresponding pixel values in the long exposure image and the short exposure image, wherein a weight applied to a pixel value of the pixel location of the short exposure image and a weight applied to a pixel value of the pixel location in the pixel long exposure image are determined based on the merging weight computed for the pixel location and responsive to motion in a scene of the long exposure image and the short exposure image.

    Abstract: A method of local tone mapping of a high dynamic range (HDR) image is provided that includes dividing a luminance image of the HDR image into overlapping blocks and computing a local tone curve for each block, computing a tone mapped value for each pixel of the luminance image as a weighted sum of values computed by applying local tone curves of neighboring blocks to the pixel value, computing a gain for each pixel as a ratio of the tone mapped value to the value of the pixel, and applying the gains to corresponding pixels in the HDR image. A weight for each value is computed based on distance from the pixel to the center point of the block having the local tone curve applied to compute the value and the intensity difference between the value of the pixel and the block mean pixel value.
