Implementation of HDR Photographic Pipeline in Mobile Devices

چکیده
The high dynamic range (HDR) photography offers significantly better quality than conventional digital images stored in low dynamic range (LDR) formats. We replace the standard image capture pipeline in mobile phones with an HDR acquisition pipeline based on the multi-exposure method. We discuss limitations of the mobile platforms that affect architecture of the proposed pipeline, then implementation of the pipeline on a smartphone with ARMv6 processor (Nokia N8) is described. We report timings for fundamental HDR algorithms and discuss programming techniques that speed-up execution and reduce RAM memory usage. The results compare favourably to proprietary iPhone 4 HDR implementation and show that the HDR pipeline can be efficiently implemented on existing camera phones using high-level APIs and no dedicated hardware.

Towards Mobile HDR Video
We present a method for High Dynamic Range video where the critical phases of the pipeline are based on histograms. It is possible to achieve high frame rates, since the algorithm generates one HDR frame per captured frame. Also, the method is of low computational cost, making it particularly suited for devices with less powerful processors. An implementation of the technique for the Nokia N900...

This chapter presents a real-time FPGA implementation of a biologically-inspired image enhancement algorithm. The algorithm compensates for the under/over-exposed image regions, emerging when High Dynamic Range (HDR) scenes are captured by contemporary imaging devices. The transformations of the original algorithm, which are necessary in order to meet the requirements of an FPGA-based hardware ...
متن کاملPerception Motivated Hybrid Approach to Tone Mapping
We propose a general hybrid approach to the issue of reproduction of high dynamic range images on devices with limited dynamic range. Our approach is based on combination of arbitrary global and local tone mapping operators. Recent perceptual studies concerning the reproduction of HDR images have shown high importance of preservation of overall image attributes. Motivated by these findings, we ...
متن کاملDesign and Implementation of a Complementary Treatment Planning Software for the GZP6 HDR Brachytherapy System (GZP6 CTPS)
Introduction: Brachytherapy is one of the most common treatment modalities for gynecological cancer. The GZP6 brachytherapy system is one of the devices utilized in Iran. It has been considered particularly due to its low cost compared to other more complete and established systems. This system has some deficiencies including lack of a treatment planning software for non-predefined treatments, ...
