In this paper, a novel approach is proposed to solve the so-called clipping problem in tone-mapped high dynamic range images. A successful saturation correction framework, which relies on linear embeddings, difference of pixel intensities and gradient-guided block-search, is developed as a post-processing technique to tone-mapping. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method successfully recovers clipped regions for the saturation problem in tone-mapped output images while avoiding artifacts.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessImage restorationimage enhancementlinear embeddingsdeclippingsaturation correctionQuality AssessmentConference Object10.1109/ICIP42928.2021.95067272-s2.0-85125587524
