Bilateral vs. WLS-based Boosting of Details

 

Figure 8: Boosting the BLF-based detail layers results in artifacts along the high-contrast edges (middle), which are absent when the decomposition is WLS-based (right). In the right part of each of the manipulated images medium scale details have been boosted, also resulting in halos when done using the BLF.
