Abstract

To employ low resolution, noisy tone mapping operations for high resolution images, at least one raw image frame is converted to a first image at a higher resolution and a second image at a lower resolution. Tone mapping is applied to the second image to derive a third image at the lower resolution. Histogram matching and regularization are performed to determine a lookup table approximating histogram matching of the second image to the third image. A global gain map is derived based on luma for the first image and the lookup table. A local gain map is derived by up-sampling and denoising residual differences between the third image and the lookup table applied to the second image. Based on the global gain map and the local gain map, a total gain map is determined for tone mapping the first image to produce a fourth image at the first resolution.
