About

Tone Mapping Studio is a plugin-based framework for image processing operations, in particular HDR tone mapping and color-to-grayscale conversions.

If you use TMS for your research work, please cite at least one of the following papers:

The TMS package consists of

• tmolib - a library for loading, writing and processing of LDR and HDR files in various formats
• tmocmd - a command line tool, which loads an image, runs a specific plugin, and writes the final output
• tmogui - an application, which uses the same plugins as tmocmd, to enable visual inspection of the results, interactive setting of parameters, and other operations
• TMOYourOperatorName/TMOYourOperatorNameLinux - templates for your own plugins
• TMOWard94 - an example plugin implementing a simple tone mapping method [Ward 1994]
• TMOLinux/TMOW32 - linux/Windows specific plugin code

Compiling

To compile run cmake and make as follows:

mkdir build; cd build
cmake .. 
make 

Use cmake version 2.4.8 and higher.

You need at least these libraries:

• OpenExr http://www.openexr.com/
• LibTIFF http://www.libtiff.org/
• libjpeg http://www.ijg.org/
• FFTW http://www.fftw.org/
• Boost.MultiArray http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_56_0/libs/multi_array/doc/index.html
• CGAL http://www.cgal.org/
• OpenCV https://opencv.org/
• NLopt https://nlopt.readthedocs.io/

and for GUI:

• Qt5 https://www.qt.io/offline-installers

On Debian/Ubuntu these are provided by packages:

• libopenexr-dev
• libtiff4-dev
• libjpeg-dev
• qt5-default
• qt5-doc
• qttools5-dev-tools
• libfftw3-3
• libboost-all-dev
• libopencv-dev

On Fedora, you should install the following packages as follows:

sudo dnf install OpenEXR OpenEXR-libs OpenEXR-devel \
        libtiff libtiff-devel \
        libjpeg-turbo libjpeg-turbo-devel libjpeg-turbo-utils \
        fftw fftw-devel fftw-libs \
        boost boost-devel \
        CGAL-devel \
        opencv opencv-devel \
        nlopt nlopt-devel \
        qt5-qtbase-devel

Install

After compiling run:

make install

If you want to specify directory to install, you have to run cmake like this:

cmake -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX='/where/to/install/tms/' ..
