White balance normalization of a high dynamic range image is performed by
identifying a first image adaptation point for a relatively lighter
portion of the image and a second image adaptation point for a relatively
darker portion of the image. A first white point adjustment for the
lighter portion of the image is performed using the first image
adaptation point and a second white point adjustment for the darker
portion of the image is performed using the second image adaptation
point. Thus, multiple illumination sources can be taken into account in
rendering a high dynamic range image, providing a more visually appealing
rendered image.
