Blind HDR image quality assessment based on aggregating perception and inference features by Donghui Wan, Xiuhua Jiang, Qiangguo Yu

“…Abstract High Dynamic Range (HDR) images, with their expanded range of brightness and color, provide a far more realistic and immersive viewing experience compared to Low Dynamic Range (LDR) images. However, the significant increase in peak luminance and contrast inherent in HDR images often accentuates artifacts, thus limiting the effectiveness of traditional LDR-based image quality assessment (IQA) algorithms when applied to HDR content. …”
