Bilateral Tone Mapping with WLS-based Smoothing

 

Figure 7: Left: a tone-mapped image from [Durand and Dorsey 2002] with some halos visible around the picture frames and the light fixture. Right: a halo-free result with a similar amount of local contrast may be produced using the same tone mapping algorithm, simply by replacing bilateral filtering (BLF) with WLS-based smoothing.

Instructions: Roll your mouse over each thumbnail to see a larger version of the image appear below. This makes it possible to easily flip back and forth between the images.
