Objective HDR image quality assessment

Although there is a lot of literature about generating HDR images, very limited research has been conducted on the issue of HDR image quality based on people’s feeling and preferences. The goal of this paper is to identify an objective quality measurement of an HDR image. The key features of HDR images that affect people’s preferences are uncovered through a survey in which testers judge different sample images of different scenes. The experimental results show that the proposed quality measurement for HDR images generates scores consistent with the true feelings of observers.
