Radiometric Transfer: Example-based Radiometric Linearization of Photographs
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015) Li, Han; Peers, Pieter; Jaakko Lehtinen and Derek Nowrouzezahrai
We present an example-based approach for radiometrically linearizing photographs that takes as input a radiometrically linear exemplar image and a target regular uncalibrated image of the same scene, possibly from a different viewpoint and/or under different lighting. The output of our method is a radiometrically linearized version of the target image. Modeling the change in appearance of a small image patch seen from a different viewpoint and/or under different lighting as a linear 1D subspace, allows us to recast radiometric transfer in a form similar to classic radiometric calibration from exposure stacks. The resulting radiometric transfer method is lightweight and easy to implement. We demonstrate the accuracy and validity of our method on a variety of scenes.
