This research proposes an appropriate tone mapping approach to obtain images with low dynamic range or LDR from images with high dynamic range or HDR. The proposed method uses a type of adaptive bilateral filter, where the spatial and range similarity parameters of the filter are determined separately for all pixels through the gradient map. By assigning larger similarity parameters to the pixels of the flat areas compared to the pixels of the non-flat or edge areas, the proposed filter is able to more accurately match the extreme changes of the pixels of the HDR images to reduce the effect of the bright pixels of HDR images on the adjacent dark areas and prevent halos in corresponding LDR images. Also, to prevent the possible distortion of the color components in the tone mapping operation, the V channel of the HSV color space has been used. To speed up the operation, the accelerated example of the proposed adaptive bilateral filter has been used. The results of this research confirm the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm in producing high-quality LDR images as well as the acceptable execution time compared to similar algorithms.
