Many popular modern image processing software packages implement a naïve form of
histogram equalization. This implementation is known to produce histograms that are not …

Most camera images are rendered and saved in the standard RGB (sRGB) format by the
camera's hardware. Due to the in-camera photo-finishing routines, nonlinear sRGB images …

Nowadays, with the rapid development of high bit-depth (HBD) monitors, the demands for
high quality image visualization have been raised. However, a prominent problem is the …

There is a growing demand for monitors to provide high-quality visualization with more bits
representing each rendered pixel. However, since most existing images and videos are of …

Modern displays and contents support more than 8bits image and video. However, bit-
starving situations such as compression codecs make low bit-depth (LBD) images (< 8bits) …

Bit-depth expansion (BDE) is important for displaying a low bit-depth image in a high bit-
depth monitor. Current BDE algorithms often utilize traditional methods to fill the missing …

When images at low bit-depth are rendered at high bit-depth displays, missing least
significant bits needs to be estimated. We study the image bit-depth enhancement problem …

Display devices at bit depth of 10 or higher have been mature but the mainstream media
source is still at bit depth of eight. To accommodate the gap, the most economic solution is to …

In this paper, we address the problem of image bit-depth expansion and present a novel
method to generate high bit-depth (HBD) images from a single low bit-depth (LBD) image …

Bit-depth enhancement (BDE) is a challenging task due to stubborn false contour artifacts
and disappeared detailed information. Given the mixture of structural distortions and real …
