Calculate Gamma Corrected Output Value



Formula

The formula to calculate the Gamma Corrected Output Value (O) is:

\[ O = I^\gamma \]

Where:

Gamma Correction Definition

Gamma correction is a nonlinear operation used to encode and decode luminance or tristimulus values in video or still image systems. It allows for the adjustment of the luminance of the pixels to match the nonlinear characteristics of display systems or the human perception of light and color. This ensures that images appear consistent and natural on different display devices.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula to calculate the Gamma Corrected Output Value (O):

\[ O = 0.5^{2.2} \approx 0.2176 \]

The Gamma Corrected Output Value (O) is approximately 0.2176.
