Abstract

Due to the influence of luminance contrast between objects, the luminance of each object may be perceived as being different from the actual luminance, and a difference may occur between the appearance of an output based on input image data having a wide luminance range when the output is observed and the appearance of an output based on output image data having a narrow luminance range when the output is observed. The contrast intensity between the objects is calculated, and a dynamic range compression process is performed based on the calculated contrast intensity, so that it is possible to reduce the difference in appearance due to the influence of luminance contrast.
