Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) This paper proposes a tone mapping operation (TMO) with a low memory cost and a low computational cost.
A TMO generates a low dynamic range (LDR) image from a high dynamic range (HDR) image by compressing its dynamic range.
Due to an HDR image is generally expressed in floating-point data, a TMO is also executed with floating-point arithmetic.
The proposed method treats a floating-point number as two 8-bit integer numbers which correspond to a exponent part and a mantissa part, and applies tone mapping to these integer numbers separately.
Moreover, the method conducts calculations in the tone mapping with fixed-point arithmetic.
As a result, the method reduces a memory cost and a computational cost.
The experimental and evaluation results show that the method has high accuracy of a TMO, though reducing memory and computational cost.
