Riassunto

At the time of rapid technological progress and uptake of High Dynamic Range (HDR) video content in numerous sectors, this book provides an overview of the key supporting technologies, discusses the effectiveness of various techniques, reviews the initial standardization efforts and explores new research directions in all aspects involved in HDR video systems.

Topics addressed include content acquisition and production, tone mapping and inverse tone mapping operators, coding, quality of experience, and display technologies. This book also explores a number of applications using HDR video technologies in the automotive industry, medical imaging, spacecraft imaging, driving simulation and watermarking.

By covering general to advanced topics, along with a broad and deep analysis, this book is suitable for both the researcher new or familiar to the area.

With this book the reader will:

• Gain a broad understanding of all the elements in the HDR video processing chain
• Learn the most recent results of ongoing research
• Understand the challenges and perspectives for HDR video technologies

Informazioni sugli autori

Frédéric Dufaux is a CNRS Research Director at Telecom ParisTech. He is also Editor-in-Chief of Signal Processing: Image Communication.

Frédéric received his M.Sc. in physics and Ph.D. in electrical engineering from EPFL in 1990 and 1994 respectively. He has over 20 years of experience in research, previously holding positions at EPFL, Emitall Surveillance, Genimedia, Compaq, Digital Equipment, MIT, and Bell Labs. He has been involved in the standardization of digital video and imaging technologies, participating both in the MPEG and JPEG committees. He is the recipient of two ISO awards for his contributions. Frédéric was Vice General Chair of ICIP 2014. He is an elected member of the IEEE Image, Video, and Multidimensional Signal Processing (IVMSP) and Multimedia Signal Processing (MMSP) Technical Committees. He is also the Chair of the EURASIP Special Area Team on Visual Information Processing.

His research interests include image and video coding, distributed video coding, 3D video, high dynamic range imaging, visual quality assessment, video surveillance, privacy protection, image and video analysis, multimedia content search and retrieval, and video transmission over wireless network. He is the author or co-author of more than 120 research publications and holds 17 patents issued or pending.

Patrick Le Callet is Professor at University of Nantes/Polytech Nantes and leading research in IRCCyN/CNRS lab. He received both an M.Sc. and a PhD degree in image processing from Ecole polytechnique de l’Université de Nantes. He was also a student at the Ecole Normale Superieure de Cachan where he sat the “Aggrégation” (credentialing exam) in electronics of the French National Education. He worked as an Assistant Professor from 1997 to 1999 and as a full time lecturer from 1999 to 2003 at the Department of Electrical Engineering of Technical Institute of the University of Nantes (IUT). Since 2003 he teaches at Ecole polytechnique de l’Université de Nantes (Engineering School) in the Electrical Engineering and the Computer Science departments where is now a Full Professor. Since 2006, he is the head of the Image and Video Communication lab at CNRS IRCCyN, a group of more than 35 researchers. He is mostly engaged in research dealing with the application of human vision modeling in image and video processing. His current centers of interest are 3D image and video quality assessment, watermarking techniques and visual attention modeling and applications. He is co-author of more than 200 publications and communications and co-inventor of 13 international patents on these topics. He also co-chairs within the VQEG (Video Quality Expert Group) the “HDR Group” and “3DTV” activities. He is currently serving as associate editor for IEEE transactions on Image Processing, IEEE transactions on Circuit System and Video Technology, SPRINGER EURASIP Journal on Image and Video Processing, and SPIE Electronic Imaging.

Rafal Mantiuk is a senior lecturer at the Computer Laboratory, University of Cambridge (UK). He received his PhD from the Max-Planck-Institute for Computer Science (2006, Germany), was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of British Columbia (Canada) and a lecturer at Bangor University (UK). He has published numerous journal and conference papers presented at ACM SIGGRAPH, Eurographics, CVPR and SPIE HVEI conferences, has been awarded several patents and was recognized by the Heinz Billing Award (2006). He made contributions to the field of high dynamic range imaging in the areas of video compression, tone-mapping and quality assessment. Rafal Mantiuk investigates how the knowledge of the human visual system and perception can be incorporated within computer graphics and imaging algorithms. His recent interests focus on designing imaging algorithms that adapt to human visual performance and viewing conditions in order to deliver the best images given limited resources, such as bandwidth, computation time or display contrast.

Marta Mrak received the Dipl. Ing. and M.Sc. degrees in electronic engineering from the University of Zagreb, Croatia, and the Ph.D. degree from Queen Mary University of London, UK. Before joining Research and Development Department at the BBC in 2010 to work on video compression research and the H.265/HEVC standardization, she was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Surrey and Queen Mary University of London. In 2002 she was awarded a German DAAD scholarship for video compression research at Heinrich Hertz Institute, Germany. She co-authored more than 100 papers, book chapters and standardization contributions, and co-edited a book on High-Quality Visual Experience (Springer, 2010). She has been involved in several projects funded by European and UK research councils in roles ranging from researcher to scientific coordinator. She is a member of the Multimedia Signal Processing technical committee of the IEEE, senior member of IEEE, area editor of the Elsevier journal Signal Processing: Image Communication and guest editor of several special issues in relevant journals in the field.
