Detailed Description

a wrapper class which allows the tone mapping algorithm of Meylan&al(2007) to be used with OpenCV.

This algorithm is already implemented in thre Retina class (retina::applyFastToneMapping) but used it does not require all the retina model to be allocated. This allows a light memory use for low memory devices (smartphones, etc. As a summary, these are the model properties:

2 stages of local luminance adaptation with a different local neighborhood for each.
first stage models the retina photorecetors local luminance adaptation
second stage models th ganglion cells local information adaptation
compared to the initial publication, this class uses spatio-temporal low pass filters instead of spatial only filters. this can help noise robustness and temporal stability for video sequence use cases.

Member Function Documentation

virtual void cv::bioinspired::RetinaFastToneMapping::applyFastToneMapping	(	InputArray	inputImage,
		OutputArray	outputToneMappedImage
	)

pure virtual

applies a luminance correction (initially High Dynamic Range (HDR) tone mapping)

using only the 2 local adaptation stages of the retina parvocellular channel : photoreceptors level and ganlion cells level. Spatio temporal filtering is applied but limited to temporal smoothing and eventually high frequencies attenuation. This is a lighter method than the one available using the regular retina::run method. It is then faster but it does not include complete temporal filtering nor retina spectral whitening. Then, it can have a more limited effect on images with a very high dynamic range. This is an adptation of the original still image HDR tone mapping algorithm of David Alleyson, Sabine Susstruck and Laurence Meylan's work, please cite: -> Meylan L., Alleysson D., and Susstrunk S., A Model of Retinal Local Adaptation for the Tone Mapping of Color Filter Array Images, Journal of Optical Society of America, A, Vol. 24, N 9, September, 1st, 2007, pp. 2807-2816

Parameters

inputImage	the input image to process RGB or gray levels
outputToneMappedImage	the output tone mapped image

virtual void cv::bioinspired::RetinaFastToneMapping::setup	(	const float	photoreceptorsNeighborhoodRadius = `3.f`,
		const float	ganglioncellsNeighborhoodRadius = `1.f`,
		const float	meanLuminanceModulatorK = `1.f`
	)

pure virtual

updates tone mapping behaviors by adjusing the local luminance computation area

Parameters

photoreceptorsNeighborhoodRadius	the first stage local adaptation area
ganglioncellsNeighborhoodRadius	the second stage local adaptation area
meanLuminanceModulatorK	the factor applied to modulate the meanLuminance information (default is 1, see reference paper)
