Deep Inverse Tone Mapping Using LDR Based Learning for Estimating HDR Images with Absolute Luminance

In this paper, a novel inverse tone mapping method using a convolutional neural network (CNN) with LDR based learning is proposed. In conventional inverse tone mapping with CNNs, generated HDR images cannot have absolute luminance, although relative luminance can. Moreover, loss functions suitable for learning HDR images are problematic, so it is difficult to train CNNs by directly using HDR images. In contrast, the proposed method enables us not only to estimate absolute luminance, but also to train a CNN by using LDR images. The CNN used in the proposed method learns a transformation from various input LDR images to LDR images mapped by Reinhard's global operator. Experimental results show that HDR images generated by the proposed method have higher-quality than HDR ones generated by conventional inverse tone mapping methods,in terms of HDR-VDP-2.2 and PU encoding + MS-SSIM.
