A method and device for image processing, and storage medium are provided. In the method, an initial image I is acquired; a set of m predetermined tone-mapping functions is provided; a pixel I(i) of the initial image is selected; a pixel weight w(i) for the selected pixel I(i) is determined based on pixel information of at least the selected pixel; for each tone-mapping function, a tone-mapping function weight is determined based on the pixel weight; each tone-mapping function is applied to the selected pixel I(i) and weighting the result with the respective tone-mapping function weight; the sum of the weighted result as final pixel I'(i) is determined.

Method and device for image processing, and storage medium

A method and device for image processing, and storage medium are provided. In the method, an initial image I is acquired; a pixel I(i) of the initial image is selected; a transfer function ƒ is applied to the pixel I(i) to acquire a transferred pixel Ĩ(i), and the transfer function ƒ is determined on the basis of at least the pixel information of the selected pixel; a predetermined tone-mapping function is applied to the transferred pixel Ĩ(i) to acquire a tone-mapped transferred pixel Ĩ'(i); an inverse of the transfer function ƒis applied to the tone-mapped transferred pixel Ĩ′(i) to acquire a tone-mapped final pixel I′(i). Herein, the steps are repeated for a plurality of pixels of the initial image I to generate a final image I′, and for each of the plurality pixels the same tone-mapping function is applied.

A methods and apparatuses for image processing are provided. The method may include acquiring initial image data from an image sensor. The method may further include deconstructing the initial image data in a plurality of image pyramid layers. The method may further include collapsing a first image pyramid layer with a second image pyramid layer in order to create an intermediate layer. The method may further include collapsing the intermediate layer with the subsequent image pyramid layer to create a new intermediate layer and generating the final image based on the new intermediate layer and a last image pyramid layer. A tone-mapping operator is applied to at least one of the intermediate layers.
