Conference:
Title:
- High-speed conversion of floating point images to 8-bit
Session/Category Title: Image Technology

Interest Area:
- Application
Abstract:
Most rendering software today destroys their accurate lighting and shading calculations by doing an inaccurate linear conversion to a screen image. This sketch presents a technique that quickly converts floating point data to a screen image while preserving the correct brightness levels and original detail.
