Summary:High-dynamic range image reproduction using tone-mapping algorithms are used for image processing to reduce the dynamic range of a real scene to be displayed on low-dynamic range devices. General tone-mapping methods are associated with the determination of local parameters for tone compression and the halo artifact connected to detail enhancements. This paper proposes a lightness-preserved tone-mapping method and a halo-artifact reduction method based on the property of visual achromatic responses. For the reproduction of the visual perception of the real scene on displays, the sensitivity parameter of the sigmoidal transfer curves is optimized for the lightness-preserved tone mapping, and anti-halo image decomposition method is applied for the halo-artifact reduction. In results, it is confirmed that the proposed method improves the performance of the tone-mapping method effectively.
