Definitions
- This invention relates to high dynamic range imaging systems.
- a human being can distinguish objects both in starlight during night time or in bright sun light, even though on a moonless night objects receive only approximately 1/1 ,000,000,000 of the illumination they would on a bright sunny day: This corresponds to a dynamic range of 90 db.
- the eye needs time to adjust to different light levels.
- the dynamic range of the human eye without adjustment of the pupil is only approximately 30 db.
- the differences between very dark and very light spots in a picture taken by a modern camera system can easily be larger than those the human eye can distinguish without adaptation; with a modern camera system it is thus possible to determine fine details in very dark spots even while very bright spots are also present in a picture.
- the dynamic range of a modern camera system may also easily surpass the dynamic range of a conventional display.
- Tone mapping has been developed as a way for adapting images recorded with a high dynamic range camera, or generated by a computer, to match the limitations of a display. Tone mapping is very helpful in the production of realistic images and several operators have been proposed. Two main tone mapping operator classes exist, namely tone reproduction curves (TRCs) and tone reproduction operators (TROs). Both will be referred to as tone mapping functions in the present application.
- TRCs tone reproduction curves
- TROs tone reproduction operators
- TRC algorithms are efficient because the operation is applied to pixels
- TRCs fail to capture the important information on local contrast that could be represented in the spatial context of neighbouring image pixels which is of great importance for the human visual system.
- One object of the systems disclosed herein is to improve the adaptability of tone mapping in accordance with ambient light.
- HDR high dynamic range
- the content of the scene depicted can change dynamically, as can the ambient lighting conditions, particularly when viewing the content on a mobile device, whilst on the move.
- TMO tone mapping operator
- a method for tone mapping a high dynamic range image to be presented on a display wherein there is associated with the display an imaging device which captures an image indicative of ambient light levels experienced at a number of positions over the display, and a data processing module processes signals from the imaging device and generates data which is used in adapting a tone mapping function applied to the high dynamic range image so as to account for different ambient light conditions.
- a tone mapping function applied to the high dynamic range image is done dynamically.
- the use of an imaging device, as opposed to a simple light sensor, provides greater versatility in adapting the tone mapping function.
- the system could take into account different lighting conditions at different positions on the display.
- the tone mapping function can be adapted so that different parts of the image are treated differently, depending on whether they are in bright light or in shade.
- the tone mapping function applied to the high dynamic range image is adapted so as to account for different ambient light conditions at different positions on the display.
- the imaging device could be used and an average value of luminance values then calculated, which is used to adapt the overall tone mapping function, as opposed to adapting it on a position dependent basis.
- the captured image will not be an image of the display itself, but an image captured by an imaging device looking away from the display, typically from a position adjacent the display.
- the plurality of images can be combined to create a single image covering the entire display, and methods for combining images are well known in the art.
- One or more imaging devices can capture an image or images indicative of ambient light levels experienced over the display, whereas one or more imaging devices can capture an image or images which can be used to detect other environmental conditions which affect the tone mapping required.
- a camera on the front of the device directed at the user which can, for example, be used to take a self-portrait and this can be used to detect the ambient light levels experienced over the display.
- a camera on the back of the device which is used to take photographs of other subject matter. This can be used, for example, to detect the amount of light on the other side of the device.
- the orientation detecting module such as an accelerometer often found in mobile devices, to detect the orientation of the device, for example whether the user is looking down onto the device (with, typically, a dark surface beneath the device) or holding it up (with typically the sky or artificial lighting behind the device).
- the orientation detecting module such as an accelerometer often found in mobile devices
- the orientation of the device for example whether the user is looking down onto the device (with, typically, a dark surface beneath the device) or holding it up (with typically the sky or artificial lighting behind the device).
- the orientation detecting module such as an accelerometer often found in mobile devices
- a method for tone mapping a high dynamic range image to be presented on portable device the device having a front and a back and on the front of the device there is a display on which the image is to be presented, on the front of the device there is also a first camera directed away from the screen which captures first image data which indicates ambient lighting conditions, and on the back of the device there is a second camera directed away from the back which captures second image data which indicates ambient lighting conditions, and a data processing module processes signals from the first and second cameras and generates data which is used in adapting a tone mapping function applied to the high dynamic range image so as to account for different ambient light conditions as detected by both the first and second cameras.
- the tone mapping is adapted dynamically, so that the imaging device captures images continually, and as the lighting conditions change the tone mapping function changes.
- the imaging device captures frames at interval sufficiently closely spaced to be usable as a video.
- the frames may be captured at more widely spaced intervals, which may be regular or irregular.
- the quality of the image that is captured need not be of high enough resolution for use as a photograph or a video, but can be of significantly lower resolution.
- a lower resolution image will require less processing time and speed for the tone mapping function to be adapted.
- the captured image could be in greyscale only, to further reduce the processing required.
- the captured image could be in colour so that the tone mapping function can be adapted for, e.g., coloured ambient light.
- the number of colours captured may be limited, and substantially below that necessary for a photograph or a video.
- the imaging device could be in the form of a camera.
- mobile telephones, tablet computing devices and portable computers include a camera on the display side, intended to be used to capture an image of the user.
- desktop computer displays are provided with a camera facing a user or can be provided with such a camera (frequently referred to as a "web cam").
- a separate camera may be provided, if the facility exists to provide an interface, or the display device may be modified to provide an image capture function.
- a TV display which is currently provided with a simple light sensor may detect whether room lights are on or off, a more sophisticated imaging device could be provided.
- the image to be displayed and subjected to tone mapping could be a still image, or a video. Where there is a video, or a series of still images, the tone mapping functions can be adapted to account for different conditions as there are changes from scene to scene, or for example if there are different lighting conditions as a camera pans across a view. Adapting the tone mapping function also encompasses selecting different types of tone mapping function for particular circumstances.
- the tone mapping function will vary according to the nature of the image, the capabilities of the image processing equipment that will handle the image, the capabilities of the display, the lighting conditions where the image is displayed and any other variables which affect the way the displayed image is perceived by a viewer.
- processing of data from the imaging device and adapting the tone mapping function are carried out within a device providing the display.
- data from the imaging device, or locally processed data from the imaging device can be fed to a server which supplies images to the display and can carry out the tone mapping.
- the tone mapping is adapted individually for the target display in accordance with the data from the imaging device associated with that imaging device.
- TMA tone mapping operator
- the tone mapping may be adapted in accordance with the wishes of a person responsible for the appearance of the image, such as a director responsible for the appearance of scenes of a movie or other video.
- a person can define a particular theme or mood to be applied, and the tone mapping will reflect that theme or mood.
- the director may decide that a particular scene should have a blue tint.
- the data being fed to the device which drives the display may include some data which reflects the director's preferences.
- the director can look at a scene of a video on a monitor display, and alter colour correction so that a scene appears in a particular way that the director wishes. Having done that, the video can be colour corrected and stored in this corrected form.
- the image data includes preference data which enables a tone mapping function which adapts the image data for display on a given display, to take into account the preferences of a parson responsible for producing the video data.
- preference data which enables a tone mapping function which adapts the image data for display on a given display, to take into account the preferences of a parson responsible for producing the video data.
- a director can view a scene and choose a particular mood - for example choosing a particular frame which has an appearance which bests fits the mood the director wishes to create.
- Data can be generated which would generate that appearance on the "standard” display device under the “standard” lighting conditions, and this can accompany the video data as signifying preferences for a scene.
- the colour appearance of the chosen frame can be determined compared to a predetermined "standard” colour chart, the display characteristics are known from the display specifications and its current settings (such as the current contrast setting), while the current
- environmental conditions can be determined by a imaging device as described above.
- tone mapping will be used in a conventional manner, or as described earlier to account for different ambient lighting conditions over the display, and also to reflect the preferences for a particular scene. Preferences could be set for any number of scenes, and in this context a scene includes and series of frames of any length. A director could choose preferences for an entire film. In any event, the preferences of the director will be reproduced whatever other changes tone mapping may cause to take place.
- the aspect of the disclosure can be used in its own right and thus viewed from another aspect there is provided a method of tone mapping of a stream of images forming a video, wherein at least a series of those images is provided with preference data, and that preference data is used to adapt the appearance of the images in the series during tone mapping.
- the preference data may be encoded together with the video.
- the preference data could also be sent in the form of meta data rather than as example video frames. This meta data - describing the conditions when the preference was created - would be a lot smaller (and then of course much easier to transmit) than a sequence of video frames.
- Example video frames could also be sent but these would have to be interlaced within the HDR video stream (although they would themselves be tone mapped images and thus smaller than an HDR video frame.)
- Embodiments of the invention provide a tone mapping framework that can dynamically take into account both the scene being considered and the current environmental conditions to ensure a preferred user viewing experience.
- the present invention proposes a tone mapping framework that is dynamic and providing the tone mapping operator and parameters for a preferred viewing experience based on the current ambient environmental conditions, such as natural or artificial lighting conditions, and the current frame being watched.
- the preferred framework is reactive and changes the choice of tone mapping operator as the ambient lighting conditions change and the scene being watched changes.

- Figure 2 is a diagrammatic view of the display device in the same domestic environment, at night;
- Figure 3 is a diagrammatic view of the display device, showing how a shadow is formed on the screen
- Figure 4 shows a map for the screen, illustrating the area corresponding to the shadow
- Figure 5 is a block diagram showing a process in accordance with the invention
- Figure 6 is a block diagram of a routine for adapting the process if there is a change in ambient luminance
- Figure 7 is a schematic representation of a system which introduces the ability to take into account preferences
- Figure 8 is a front view of a portable device which can be used in accordance with the invention.
- Figure 9 is a rear view of the portable device of Figure 8.
- FIG. 1 there is show a display device 1 for a domestic or office environment, such as a television or a monitor for a computer, having a screen 2.
- the display device is also provided with an imaging device 3, which in this case is a camera, which captures ambient light impinging on the screen, although more than one imaging device could be provided.
- an imaging device 3 which in this case is a camera, which captures ambient light impinging on the screen, although more than one imaging device could be provided.
- an artificial light 6 which is turned off. In this environment the screen 2 is illuminated evenly.
- Figure 2 illustrates the environment of Figure 1 , at night time. Outside it is dark , as indicated at 7, and less light passes through the window 4. This provides little ambient illumination across the screen 2. In this case, the artificial light 6 is illuminated and this illuminates the screen, with the maximum illumination being in the region marked 8.
- the process in accordance with the invention aims to provide a similar viewing experience of HDR material on the screen 2, in both the environments of Figures 1 and 2.
- Figure 3 shows an object 9 placed in front of the display device 1 , which is illuminated as indicates at 10, so that a shadow is cast on the screen.
- the imaging device 3 captures an image if the ambient light impinging on the screen and can detect that the light source 10 is partially blocked by the object 9.
- Figure 4 shows a map 12 of the screen, divided into regions by a grid 13. These could be a small as individual pixels but in this case the grid defines groups of pixels. These groups could be larger, as desired.
- the region indicated at 14 corresponds to the shadow cast on the screen and tone mapping in this region can be adapted to take account of this.
- Figure 5 illustrates a process in accordance with the invention.
- the image provided by the camera 3 is analysed and at 102 an ambient luminance map is created.
- the difference in ambient luminance at different parts of the screen is used at 103 to create tone map modifiers.
- a high dynamic range video frame is retrieved and the tone map is modified at 105.
- the modified tone map is applied to the video frame at 106 and the tone mapped frame is displayed on the screen 2.
- the tone map modifiers remain the same for all frames in a sequence.
- Figure 6 illustrates a routine for altering the tone map modifiers if there is a change in ambient luminance. This takes the place of step 109 in Figure 5.
- the camera 3 is used to detect whether there is a change in ambient luminance and at 202 a check is made to see whether this is above a minimum threshold. If it is not , the process continues as before, If there has been a significant change in ambient luminance, an ambient luminance map is created at 203 and tone map modifiers are created at 204.
- the check for a change in ambient luminance could be made before or after a next video frame in a sequence is retrieved, and that the tone map could be modified before a frame is retrieved and then applied once it has been retrieved.
- a check for a change in ambient luminance could be made for each frame in a sequence, or for groups of frames, or at predetermined intervals.
- Tone map modifiers could be stored in a look up table, with coordinates for pixels or regions of pixels where a tone map is to be modified, and the modification that is to be made (such as a reduction or increase in luminance above any change to be applied by the tone mapping). Tone map modification may consist of a change to a different type of tone mapping, depending on whether, for example, the display is in bright daylight or in shade.
- FIG. 7 illustrates a further refinement of the system, where user preferences are taken into account.
- a stream of high dynamic range (HDR) images is input, for tone mapping prior to display.
- HDR images can be static individual HDR images, or a sequence of frames of HDR video footage.
- Any temporal information related to the sequence of HDR images is extracted at 302. This can either be done dynamically as the HDR images are received, or may be from a predetermined header associated with the current sequence of HDR images.
- the images are then submitted to a tone map operator framework 303.
- TMOs are typically classified as global or local. Global TMOs map the pixel values in the HDR image to the display pixel intensities based on global image
- Local TMOs take into account the values of neighbouring pixels to the pixels being considered.
- TMOs that take into account how the content changes over time may be classified additionally as temporal, for example.
- the parameters chosen for each TMO can significantly affect how the HDR image is displayed.
- the preferred TMO and parameters are selected by the framework and used at 304 to tone map the input HDR image.
- the choice of preferred TMO and parameters may change for every input HDR image, or remain the same for a sequence of HDR images.
- the choice of TMO and parameters may be influenced based on the temporal information, so as to avoid potential flickering if changes in ambient illumination (for example) occur too rapidly.
- the tone mapped images are output at 305 and shown on the display at 306.
- the framework 300 includes one or more environment sensors 307.
- the current environmental conditions can be determined in a number of ways, including, but not limited to: specialist environment sensing technology, for example an ambient light sensor; images taken from cameras associated with the display being viewed, for example existing cameras on mobile devices; user centric means, for example by manual determination of the ambient light conditions; and other sensors on a device, such as accelerometers which determine orientation.
- the sensor would include one or more imaging devices to capture an image indicative of ambient light levels experienced at a number of positions over the display.
- the framework involves knowledge of the dynamic range capabilities of the display.
- the dynamic range of an individual display may be defined as the difference in luminance value between the brightest and darkest pixel that can be displayed.
- the framework also provides for user preferences: The user, who may be either the content provider or the viewer may wish the HDR content to be watched in a preferred manner, for example the mood of a certain film, or an artistic presentation style. These preferences may be encoded in data accompanying the HDR images, or may be selected by the viewer.
- the framework 303 is dynamic and reactive, and determines the preferred TMO and parameters to tone map the input HDR image based on: the content of the HDR image; any user preferences; any creative intent, the characteristics of the intended display; and the environmental conditions.
- Figure 8 illustrates the front of a portable data processing device 15 such as a mobile phone or a tablet, with a touch screen 16, a forward facing camera 17 and a control button 18.
