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:

Member Function Documentation

◆ applyFastToneMapping()

virtual void cv::bioinspired::RetinaFastToneMapping::applyFastToneMapping ( InputArray  inputImage,
OutputArray  outputToneMappedImage 
)
pure virtual
Python:
outputToneMappedImage=cv.bioinspired_RetinaFastToneMapping.applyFastToneMapping(inputImage[, outputToneMappedImage])

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
inputImagethe input image to process RGB or gray levels
outputToneMappedImagethe output tone mapped image

◆ create()

static Ptr<RetinaFastToneMapping> cv::bioinspired::RetinaFastToneMapping::create ( Size  inputSize)
static
Python:
retval=cv.bioinspired.RetinaFastToneMapping_create(inputSize)

◆ setup()

virtual void cv::bioinspired::RetinaFastToneMapping::setup ( const float  photoreceptorsNeighborhoodRadius = 3.f,
const float  ganglioncellsNeighborhoodRadius = 1.f,
const float  meanLuminanceModulatorK = 1.f 
)
pure virtual
Python:
None=cv.bioinspired_RetinaFastToneMapping.setup([, photoreceptorsNeighborhoodRadius[, ganglioncellsNeighborhoodRadius[, meanLuminanceModulatorK]]])

updates tone mapping behaviors by adjusing the local luminance computation area

Parameters

ganglioncellsNeighborhoodRadiusthe second stage local adaptation area
meanLuminanceModulatorKthe factor applied to modulate the meanLuminance information (default is 1, see reference paper)
