Abstract
Apparatus and a method for matching contrast between images of a stereo image pair. A first contrast value corresponding to first pixel information of first image is determined and a second contrast value corresponding to second pixel information of second image is determined. The first and second contrast values are compared and the image having the lower contrast value is selected for compensation. A tone mapping function is generated and applied to the pixel information corresponding to the selected image for generating compensated image pixel information corresponding to the selected image.
