Disney Research tone mapping technique creates 'hyper-real' look

A new image processing technique developed by Disney Research Zurich could make high dynamic range video look better when shown on consumer-quality displays by preserving much of the rich visual detail while eliminating "ghosting" and other unwanted visual artifacts. The combination of HDR acquisition and the new technique enables video effects such as showing the detail of an actor's face even as lighting shifts from shadow to direct sunlight and back to shadow.
