Many popular modern image processing software packages implement a naïve form of
histogram equalization. This implementation is known to produce histograms that are not …

Most camera images are rendered and saved in the standard RGB (sRGB) format by the
camera's hardware. Due to the in-camera photo-finishing routines, nonlinear sRGB images …

To enhance the visualization of images on high dynamic range (HDR) monitors, it is
essential to employ bit-depth enhancement (BDE) methods for converting low bit-depth …

Modern displays and contents support more than 8bits image and video. However, bit-
starving situations such as compression codecs make low bit-depth (LBD) images (< 8bits) …

Bit-depth enhancement (BDE) is a challenging task due to stubborn false contour artifacts
and disappeared detailed information. Given the mixture of structural distortions and real …

High-bit images can show more detail than low-bit images do. False contours in the low-bit
images should be suppressed when converting low-bit images to high-bit ones. In this …

Bit-depth enhancement (BDE) plays an important role in providing high bit-depth data
support for high-dynamic range (HDR) display. Although convolutional neural network …

Imaging sensors digitize incoming scene light at a dynamic range of 10–12 bits (ie, 1024–
4096 tonal values). The sensor image is then processed onboard the camera and finally …

Video bit-depth enhancement (VBDE) reconstructs high-bit-depth (HBD) frames from a low-
bit-depth (LBD) video sequence. As neighboring frames contain a considerable amount of …

With the prevalence of advanced displays devices, many attempts have been successfully
made in bit-depth enhancement (BDE) to restore the low bit-depth (LBD) images to visually …
