Abstract
Image capture devices and methods may use field variable tone mapping for 360 content. An image capture device may comprise an image sensor and a processor. The image sensor may capture a hyper-hemispherical image that includes an image circle portion. The processor may perform local tone mapping (LTM) on a first area of the image circle portion and perform global tone mapping (GTM) on a second area of pixels of the image circle portion. The GTM may be performed on a condition that a portion of a predefined area of pixels overlaps with a stitch line. The processor may be configured to stitch the hyper-hemispherical image and a second hyper-hemispherical image at the stitch line to obtain a processed image. The processor may be configured to display, store, output, or transmit the processed image.
