  abstract =   "The problem of reproducing high dynamic range images on
               devices with restricted dynamic range has gained a lot of
               interest in the computer graphics community. There exist
               various approaches to this issue, which span several
               research areas including computer graphics, image
               processing, color vision, physiological aspects, etc. These
               approaches assume a thorough knowledge of both the objective
               and subjective attributes of an image. However, no
               comprehensive overview and analysis of such attributes has
               been published so far.  In this contribution, we present an
               overview about the effects of basic image attributes in HDR
               tone mapping. Furthermore, we propose a scheme of
               relationships between these attributes, leading to the
               definition of an overall image quality measure. We present
               results of subjective psychophysical experiments that we
               have performed to prove the proposed relationship scheme.
               Moreover, we also present an evaluation of existing tone
               mapping methods (operators) with regard to these attributes.
               Finally, the execution of with-reference and without a real
               reference perceptual experiments gave us the opportunity to
               relate the obtained subjective results.  Our effort is not
               just useful to get into the tone mapping field or when
               implementing a tone mapping method, but it also sets the
               stage for well-founded quality comparisons between tone
               mapping methods. By providing good definitions of the
               different attributes, user-driven or fully automatic
               comparisons are made possible. ",
