Weeks keep running...

So, week number seven has started and I thought it was time for an update. The weeks keep running and I feel that I've produced at least something, but not as much as I first thought I would.

I've been looking at HDR and Tone Mapping filters the last weeks, reading some papers and trying to implement a nice TM (Tone Mapper). Almost all papers included algorithms with nice result but none of them would be possible to implement on an cellphone because of the limited CPU. So, the best TM I implemented was the most trivial one... (pixelA + pixelB) / 2 :)
Ok, now I fine tuned the algo somewhat by adding support for non linear clipping of white values, but still very trivial. But I know a lot more of HDR and TM now.

The coming weeks are gonna be about sketch/line art filters.

Stay tuned!
