ABSTRACT:
An image processing method for processing image data comprises the steps of obtaining scanpath data corresponding to original image data, determining regions of interest for the original image data based on the obtained scanpath data, and mapping tone values of the original image data corresponding to each region of interest in order to obtain tone-mapped image data.
