abstract = {Regional image emphasis is often evident in paintings and
illustrations. This technique increases local contrast while
reducing global contrast by amplifying image intensity on shadowed
surfaces, reducing intensity on illuminated surfaces, and then
expanding contrast at intensity edges. The effects are assumed to
result from the visual processing needed to interpolate the real
world onto canvas. Therefore, we propose an intensity emphasis
method based on human vision. This method simulates the adaptation
of photoreceptor cells and the lateral inhibition of receptive
fields. These attributes of a vision system are realized by
computation of relative intensity and differential intensity in
small areas. The proposed method can successfully generate
painting-like artifacts, which greatly improves the perception of
visual elements displayed in an image. Since the method
efficiently reduces the dynamic range of images, it can be used
for displaying highlighted images on standard graphic monitors.
Experiments on a computer-generated image and a photograph confirm
the advantages of our method.},
