org.opencv.bioinspired.RetinaFastToneMapping

public class RetinaFastToneMapping
extends Algorithm

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.

applyFastToneMapping

public void applyFastToneMapping(Mat inputImage,
                                 Mat 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
