We propose a photographic method to show scalar values of high dynamic range (HDR) by color mapping for 2D visualization. We combine (1) tone-mapping operators that transform the data to the display range of the monitor while preserving perceptually important features, based on a systematic evaluation, and (2) simulated glares that highlight high-value regions. Simulated glares are effective for highlighting small areas (of a few pixels) that may not be visible with conventional visualizations; through a controlled perception study, we confirm that glare is preattentive. The usefulness of our overall photographic HDR visualization is validated through the feedback of expert users.

摄影高动态范围标量可视化。

我们提出了一种摄影方法，通过用于 2D 可视化的颜色映射来显示高动态范围 (HDR) 的标量值。我们结合了 (1) 色调映射算子，在系统评估的基础上，将数据转换为显示器的显示范围，同时保留感知上的重要特征，以及 (2) 突出高值区域的模拟眩光。模拟眩光可有效突出显示常规可视化可能看不到的小区域（几个像素）；通过受控感知研究，我们确认眩光是预先注意的。我们的整体摄影 HDR 可视化的实用性通过专家用户的反馈得到了验证。
