RV-TMO: Large-Scale Dataset for Subjective Quality Assessment of Tone Mapped Images

Résumé

Tone mapping operators (TMO) are functions that map high dynamic range (HDR) images to a standard dynamic range (SDR), while aiming to preserve the perceptual cues of a scene that govern its visual quality. Despite the increasing number of studies on quality assessment of tone mapped images, current subjective quality datasets have relatively small numbers of images and subjective opinions. Moreover, existing challenges in transferring laboratory experiments to crowdsourcing platforms put a barrier for collecting large-scale datasets through crowdsourcing. In this work, we address these challenges and propose the RealVision-TMO (RV-TMO), a large-scale tone mapped image quality dataset. RV-TMO contains 250 unique HDR images, their tone mapped versions obtained using four TMOs and pairwise comparison results from seventy unique observers for each pair. To the best of our knowledge, this is the largest dataset available in the literature for quality evaluation of TMOs by the number of tone mapped images and number of annotations. Furthermore, we provide a content selection strategy to identify interesting and challenging HDR images. We also propose a novel methodology for observer screening in pairwise experiments. Our work does not only provide annotated data to benchmark existing objective quality metrics, but also paves the path to building new metrics for tone mapping quality evaluation.
