Recently, the standardization of backward compatible JPEG image coding for high dynamic range (HDR) image has been undertaken to establish an international standard called "JPEG XT." The JPEG XT consists of two layers: the base layer and the residual layer. The base layer contains tone mapped low dynamic range (LDR) image data and the residual layer contains the error signal used to reconstruct the HDR image. This paper gives the result of a study to evaluate the overall performance of tone mapping operators (TMOs) for this standard. The evaluation is performed using five HDR image datasets and six TMOs for profiles A, B, and C of the proposed JPEG XT standard. The Tone Mapped image Quality Index (TMQI) and no reference image quality assessment (NR IQA) are used for measuring the LDR image quality. The peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) is used to evaluate the overall compression performance of JPEG XT profiles A, B, and C. In TMQI and NR IQA measurements, TMOs using display adaptive tone mapping and adaptive logarithmic mapping each gave good results. A TMO using adaptive logarithmic mapping gave good PSNRs.

The purpose of this work is to support a solution of optimizing TMO (tone mapping operator). JPEG XT Profile A and C utilize Erik Reinhard TMO that works well in most cases, however, detailed information of a scene is lost in some cases. Reinhard TMO only calculates its coefficient to have tone-mapping curve from log-average luminance, and this lead to lose details of bright and dark area of scenes in turn. Thus, this paper proposes an enhancement of the default TMO for JPEG XT Profile C to optimize tone-mapping curve. Main idea is that we divide tone mapping curve into several ranges, and set reasonable parameters for each range. By the experimental results, the proposed scheme shows and obtains better performance within a dark scene, compared to the default Reinhard TMO.

국제 표준화 기구 ISO/IEC JCT1/SC29/WG1 JPEG(Joint Photographic Experts Group)에서는 지난 30여년간 JPEG, JPEG 2000, JPEG XR, JPEG XT, JPEG XS 등 다양한 2D 이미지 압축 관련 표준을 제정해왔다. 지난 2014년 10월에는 JPEG Pleno라는 이름으로 2D 이미지가 아닌 3차원 영상 정보 압축을 위한 새로운 표준화 과제를 시작했다. JPEG Pleno에서 다루는 3차원 영상 정보는 라이트 필드, 포인트 클라우드, 홀로그램이다. 본 원고에서는 현재 JPEG Pleno 홀로그래피에서 다뤄지는 디지털 홀로그램 영상 압축에 대한 국제 표준화 현황을 소개하고, 향후 나아갈 방향을 전망해 본다.
