Topic 4: Edge-aware image editing¶

1. Read and discuss the paper by Paris et al..
2. Investigate the sensitivity of the algorithm to the choice of all available free parameters, i.e. $\alpha$, $\beta$ and $\sigma_t$.
3. For comparison, you can use your implementation of bilateral filter (labwork 6).
4. Understand the concept of tone mapping and explain it.
5. Capture your own test images for tone mapping application.
6. Compare your results with MATLAB built-in functions locallapfilt() and tonemap().
