High Dynamic Range Reduction Via Maximization of Image Information
نویسنده
چکیده
An algorithm for blending multiple-exposure images of a scene into an image with maximum information content is introduced. The algorithm partitions the image domain into subimages and for each subimage selects the image that contains the most information about the subimage. The selected images are then blended together using monotonically decreasing blending functions that are centered at the subimages and have a sum of 1 everywhere in the image domain. The optimal subimage size and width of blending functions are determined in a gradient-ascent algorithm that maximizes image information. The proposed algorithm reduces dynamic range while preserving local color and contrast.

ExpoBlend: Information preserving exposure blending based on normalized log-domain entropy
In this paper, we present a solution to the problem of dynamic range compression from multiple exposures called ExpoBlend that operates in the absence of raw format images, relative or absolute exposure values, camera response functions, or known irradiance. This is achieved in relatively simplistic fashion by merging image content across provided exposures. The proposed algorithm is directed a...

The main objective of this research is to design an efficient face recognition approach by combining many tech...
متن کاملNoise reduction in high dynamic range images
Multiple images with different exposures are used to produce a high dynamic range (HDR) image. Sometimes high sensitivity setting is needed for capturing images in low light condition as in an indoor room. However, current digital cameras do not produce a high-quality HDR image when noise occurs in low light condition or high sensitivity setting. In this paper, we propose a noise reduction meth...
متن کاملA Unifying Contrast Maximization Framework for Event Cameras, with Applications to Motion, Depth, and Optical Flow Estimation
We present a unifying framework to solve several computer vision problems with event cameras: motion, depth and optical flow estimation. The main idea of our framework is to find the point trajectories on the image plane that are best aligned with the event data by maximizing an objective function: the contrast of an image of warped events. Our method implicitly handles data association between...

The ability of recording the high resolution spectral signature of earth surface would be the most important feature of hyperspectral sensors. On the other hand, classification of hyperspectral imagery is known as one of the methods to extracting information from these remote sensing data sources. Despite the high potential of hyperspectral images in the information content point of view, there...
