Abstract
One embodiment provides a computer-implemented method that includes employing a de-banding process based on image statistics in a dynamic range conversion system, including high dynamic range (HDR) to standard dynamic range (SDR) tone mapping (TM) process or SDR-to-HDR inverse tone mapping (ITM) process. A computing device performs the de-banding process in post-processing during a determination of one or more initial ITM explicit polynomial curve coefficients. One or more parameters of a weighing function of the one or more initial ITM explicit curve coefficients are utilized as one or more controlling knots for balancing a de-banding effect and preserving local detail.
