do you have links to either of those papers online? (siggraph or 2005 paper)=20 =20 :) =20 thanks, rowan =20 =20 _____ =20 From: Wolfgang Engel [mailto:gda...@li...] On Behalf Of Wolfgang Engel Sent: Thursday, 1 December 2005 3:52 AM To: gda...@li... Subject: RE: [Algorithms] Dynamic Gamma / Tone Mapping =09 =09 I think good ideas for contrast improvements can be found in Erik Reinhardt's 2005 paper ... just forgot the name, but he also talked on SIGGRAPH this year about it. You might for example interpolate the luminance of a pixel with the scene luminance or you might store luminance not for RGB per scene, but for each color channel separately. This should help with contrast. Anyone tried this? =20 - Wolfgang _____ =20 From: gda...@li... on behalf of Peter-Pike Sloan Sent: Tue 11/29/2005 11:02 PM To: gda...@li... Subject: RE: [Algorithms] Dynamic Gamma / Tone Mapping =09 =09 I know that the authors (at least Pete Shirley) were really surprised how well the "simple" operator worked, and felt the high level take home from the paper is that the simple operator works quite well (I've just talked with Pete about this, Erik might have a different opinion...) =09 -Peter-Pike Sloan =09 -----Original Message----- From: gda...@li...

Subject: RE: [Algorithms] Dynamic Gamma / Tone Mapping =09 Speaking of contrast and the Rheinhard approach... Has anyone implemented the contrast preserving "dodge and burn" operator in this paper? We are just using the basic operator, and its tempting to try to do the dodge and burn, but I'm not sure if it will make much difference in practice. =09 rowan =09 > -----Original Message----- > From: Wesley Hunt [mailto:we...@fu...] > Sent: Wednesday, 30 November 2005 8:04 AM > To: gda...@li... > Subject: Re: [Algorithms] Dynamic Gamma / Tone Mapping > > I'm not sure exactly what math you are using, but I'm more-or-less > using the technique that Aras suggests (all GPU-based), and it works > fine.
