ABSTRACT
Most of the display devices available nowadays are not able to natively display HDR content. Entry level monitors/displays have a low contrast ratio of only around 200 : 1. Although high-end LCD televisions have a much high contrast ratio, on average around 10, 000 : 1, they are typically discretized at 8-bit and rarely at 10-bit per color channel. This means that colors shades are limited to 255, which is not HDR. In the last two decades researchers have spent significant time and effort in order to compress the range of HDR images and videos so the data may be visualized more “naturally” on LDR displays.
