Gamma correction


  • Displayed light intensity is nonlinearly related to the actual intensity following the Gamma ruleg=afrg = af^r
  • Gamma correction pre-compensates this nonlinearity inside the camerah=f1/rh= f^{1/r} g=ahr=afg=ah^r=af
  • Gamma value depends on the display device, typically gamma~2.2
