This letter considers a unified tone mapping operation (TMO) for HDR images. The unified TMO can perform tone mapping for various HDR image formats with a single common operation. The integer TMO which can realize unified tone mapping by converting an input HDR image into an intermediate format is proposed. This method can be executed efficiently with low memory and low performance processor. However, only floating-point HDR image formats have been considered in the method. In other words, a long-integer which is one of the HDR image formats has not been considered in the method. This letter applies the method to a long-integer format, and confirm its performance. The experimental results show the proposed method is effective for an integer format in terms of the resources such as the computational cost and the memory cost.
