Optimum Auto Exposure based on High-Dynamic-Range Histogram
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper introduces a new approach for optimum auto exposure (AE) based on the high-dynamic-range histogram (HDH) of a scene. The exposure control is optimal in terms of recorded information of the scene. The advantages over AE based on mean values of images will be shown as well as a proof of concept implementation and results. Futhermore possible extensions to this approach are discussed. The consideration of the HDH for auto exposure enables new possibilities for auto exposure control for mutliple-slope cameras. An AE method for multiple-slope cameras is proposed which controls exposure as well as the transition curve parameters in order to record a maximum of information from the scene. It considers controllable dynamic range as well as corse quantization in bright image regions. Key–Words: Optimum Auto Exposure, High Dynamic Range (HDR), multiple-slope camera January 26, 2007

Using Brightness Histogram to perform Optimum Auto Exposure
The dynamic range of natural scenes usually exceeds the dynamic range of imaging sensors by several orders of magnitude. An automatic exposure control (AE) is therefore commonly used in order to shift the dynamic range of the sensor to the section of interest of the dynamic range of the scene. We present a new approach for choosing the section by defining a criteria of optimality. The presented...
متن کاملDesign of Auto Exposure Unit Based On 2-Way Histogram Equalization
Histogram equalization is often used in image enhancement, but it can be also used in auto exposure. However, conventional histogram equalization does not work well when many pixels are concentrated in a narrow luminance range. This paper proposes an auto exposure method based on 2-way histogram equalization. Two cumulative distribution functions are used, where one is from dark to bright and t...
متن کاملExtracting Reflection Components of Glossy Woven Fabrics with High Dynamic Range Image
This paper describes a method of estimating the color vectors of the body and the interface reflection component of glossy woven fabrics based on the color histogram analysis of a local region. We choose the homogenous colored polyester satin as objective glossy fabrics. We fix woven fabrics on the surface of a side of cylinder and acquire images, which consist of both regions with highlights a...
متن کاملHigh-performance high dynamic range image generation by inverted local patterns
This study presents an image processing algorithm capable of generating high dynamic range (HDR) images from a single frame. On the basis of liquid crystal display (LCD) backlight theory, the proposed algorithm uses an inverted local pattern approach to adjust the histogram of lighting distribution. To improve processing efficiency, sampled images are classified into three types according to ex...
متن کاملAn Information-theoretic Approach to Multi-exposure Fusion via Statistical Filtering Using Local Entropy
An adaptive and parameter-free image fusion method for multiple exposures of a static scene captured by a stationary camera is described. The notion of a statistical convolution operator is discussed and convolution by entropy is introduced. Images are fused by weighting pixels with the amount of information present in their local surroundings. The proposed fusion approach is solely based on no...
