with the developments in Image acquisition techniques there is an increasing interest towards High Dynamic
Range (HDR) images where the number of intensity levels ranges between 2 to 104
. Tone Mapping Operator (TMO) is
used to convert the HDR image into Low Dynamic Range (LDR) images that can be visualized clearly there are different
operators offered in the HDR tool box. The outputs of the operators are discussed in the paper with the objective
analysis. Newly Logarithmic TMO and Exponential TMO are proposed and evaluation is done. Which are being
compared with individual TMOs, give better results in quality metrics.
