Paper Abstract
High dynamic range (HDR) imaging seems to have developed to a level of soon being a standard feature in
consumer cameras. This study was motivated by the need for evaluating tone mapping operators especially
for consumer imaging applications. A no-reference method based on ISO 20462-2:2005 triplet comparison was
created for evaluating tone mapping operators. Multiple HDR test images were photographed and the method
was validated by evaluating 25 tone mapping operators with five test images. Tone mapping operators were
evaluated based on image naturalness and pleasantness. The results indicate that the method successfully ranked
the method in terms of naturalness and pleasantness. The test image set could be improved for example based
on an imaging photo space for HDR photography. The test images of this study are available for non-commercial
research purposes.
