Carleton University - School of Computer Science Undergraduate Honours Project Fall 2009 Real-Time HDR Processing Vladyslav Rubin 
ABSTRACT Technological advances in the field of digital photography have created a large gap between the light capture ability of image sensors and the reproduction of the data on monitors and printers. To remedy this, several tone operators exist to map the high dynamic range of the data into a low dynamic range that is displayable and printable. Existing operators utilize the central-processing unit (CPU) directly and are much slower than could be possible because of this fact. This project explores the utilization of two tone mapping operators and examines optimization of the operators by using OpenGL to leverage the power of the video card and calculate the mapping results quickly. Presented in part with this project report is a cross-platform application with two usable tone-mapping operators and various editing features for the reader. |
