Abstract
A method includes obtaining an image and a gain map associated with the image. The method also includes identifying image patches in the image and corresponding gain map patches in the gain map. Different image patches are centered around different anchor points in the image. The method further includes, for each image patch and its corresponding gain map patch, generating an intensity-gain curve for the associated anchor point. The intensity-gain curve specifies (i) gain values based on the corresponding gain map patch for intensity values up to a threshold intensity value and (ii) gain values based on one or more input parameters for intensity values above the threshold intensity value. In addition, the method includes combining the intensity-gain curves to generate a 3D lookup table, which identifies the gain values for the anchor points in the image at each of multiple intensity values.
