Pixels receiving “too much” irradiance record almost white colors Color information is distorted (desaturated) Information is lost Correcting Over-Exposure in Photographs Problems with overexposed areas
Correcting Over-Exposure in Photographs • Works with one single image • Does not require user interaction Main Contribution
Create a map of overexposed pixels Compress the dynamic-range in well-exposed areas Recover the lightness Correct the color Correcting Over-Exposure in Photographs General Workflow
Create a map of overexposed pixels Correcting Over-Exposure in Photographs General Workflow
2. Compress the dynamic-range in well-exposed areas Correcting Over-Exposure in Photographs General Workflow • Analogue to Fattal’s method (2002) • One among many other Tone Mapping methods
3. Recover the lightness Correcting Over-Exposure in Photographs General Workflow • E1: Compress the dynamic range (Fattal’s method) • E2: Retain luminance in overexposed areas • Constraint: keep very low light areas unchanged.
4. Correct the color Correcting Over-Exposure in Photographs General Workflow • \Psi: Color confidence = 1 - M • First term: extract color from neighbors in overexposed areas (=> propagation from good pixels) • Second term: keep the same color in well exposed areas
