We present a novel algorithm to efficiently generate high quality high dynamic range (HDR) images. Our method is based on the idea of expanding the dynamic range of a reference image at granularity of tiles. In each tile, we use data from a single exposure, but different tiles can come from different exposures. We show that this approach is not only efficient and robust against camera and object movement, but also improves the color quality of the resulting HDR images. We compare our method against the commonly used HDR generation algorithms.

Style based tone mapping for HDR images Akyüz, Ahmet Oğuz; Aydınlılar, Merve; Bloch, Christian (2013-11-22) In this paper we propose a different approach to high dynamic range (HDR) image tone mapping. We put away the assumption that there is a single optimal solution to tone mapping. We argue that tone mapping is inherently a personal process that is guided by the taste and preferences of the artist; different artists can produce different depictions of the same scene. However, most existing tone mapping operators (TMOs) compel the artists to produce similar renderings. Operators that give more freedom to artist...
False color visualization for hdr images Akyüz, Ahmet Oğuz (null; 2013-04-10) Photographic visualization of high dynamic range (HDR) images on low dynamic range (LDR) displays, known as tone mapping, is a well-known problem. However, no well-defined method exist to visualize HDR images for the purpose of scene analysis and understanding. In this paper, we aim to fill this gap by first outlining a general framework that can be used to visualize HDR images using false (i.e. pseudo) colors based on pixel luminances. We then experiment with several simple false coloring functions that ca...
Practical HDR A Simple and Effective Method for Merging High Dynamic Range Videos Akcora, Ezgi; Banterle, Francesco; Corsini, Massimiliano; Akyüz, Ahmet Oğuz; Scopigno, Roberto (2016-12-12) We introduce a novel algorithm for obtaining High Dynamic Range (HDR) videos from Standard Dynamic Range (SDR) videos with varying shutter speed or ISO per frame. This capturing technique represents today one of the most popular HDR video acquisition methods, thanks to the availability and the low cost of the equipment required; i.e., an off-the-shelf DSLR camera. However, naïvely merging SDR frames into an HDR video can produce artifacts such as ghosts (when the scene is dynamic), and blurry edges (when th...
Noise reduction in high dynamic range imaging Akyüz, Ahmet Oğuz (Elsevier BV, 2007-10-01) A common method to create high dynamic range (HDR) images is to combine several different exposures of the same scene. In this approach, the use of higher ISO settings will reduce exposure times, and thereby the total capture time. This is advantageous in certain environments where it may help minimize ghosting artifacts. However, exposures taken at high sensitivity settings tend to be noisy, which is further amplified by the HDR creation algorithm. We present a robust and efficient technique to significant...
Image fusion for improving spatial resolution of multispectral satellite images Ünlüsoy, Deniz; Süzen, Mehmet Lütfi; Department of Geological Engineering (2013) In this study, four different image fusion techniques have been applied to high spectral and low spatial resolution satellite images with high spatial and low spectral resolution images to obtain fused images with increased spatial resolution, while preserving spectral information as much as possible. These techniques are intensity-hue-saturation (IHS) transform, principle component analysis (PCA), Brovey transform (BT), and Wavelet transform (WT) image fusion. Images used in the study belong to Çankırı reg...
