Abstract
A method of compression includes compressing a captured image from a first bit-depth at which it was captured to a second bit-depth that is less than the first bit-depth. The compression comprises applying, according to a power curve, a first compression amount to a first region of the captured image having a first pixel value; and applying, according to the power curve, a second compression amount to a second part of the captured image having a higher second pixel value, wherein the first compression amount is lower than the second compression amount.
