We address the tone reproduction problem by integrating the local adaptation effect with the consistency in global contrast impression. Many previous works on tone reproduction have focused on investigating the local adaptation mechanism of human eyes to compress high-dynamic-range (HDR) luminance into a displayable range. Nevertheless, while the realization of local adaptation properties is not theoretically defined, exaggerating such effects often leads to unnatural visual impression of global contrast. We propose to perceptually decompose the luminance into a small number of regions that sequentially encode the overall impression of an HDR image. A piecewise tone mapping can then be constructed to region-wise perform HDR compressions, using local mappings constrained by the estimated global perception. Indeed, in our approach, the region information is used not only to practically approximate the local properties of luminance, but more importantly to retain the global impression. Besides, it is worth mentioning that the proposed algorithm is efficient, and mostly does not require excessive parameter fine-tuning. Our experimental results and comparisons indicate that the described framework gives a good balance in both preserving local details and maintaining global perceptual impression of HDR scenes.
