Image quality assessment of enriched tonal levels images

Abstract

The quality assessment of a high dynamic image is a challenging task. The few available no reference image quality methods for high dynamic range images are generally in evaluation stage. The most available image quality assessment methods are designed to assess low dynamic range images. In the paper, we show the assessment of high dynamic range images which are generated by utilizing a virtually flexible fill factor on the sensor images. We present a new method in the assessment process and evaluate the amount of improvement of the generated high dynamic images in comparison to original ones. The results show that the generated images not only have more number of tonal levels in comparison to original ones but also the dynamic range of images have significantly increased due to the measurable improvement values.
