High Dynamic Range Video Using Split Aperture Camera
Hongcheng Wang, Ramesh Raskar, Narendra Ahuja · 2005
We present a new approach to display High Dynamic Range (HDR) video using gradient based high dynamic range compression. To obtain HDR video, we utilize the split aperture camera. We apply a spatio-temporal gradient based video integration algorithm for fast and accurate integration of the three input HDR videos into a low dynamic range video, which is suitable for display. The spatiotemporal video integration generates videos with temporal coherency and without artifacts. In order to improve the computational speed, we propose using a diagonal multigrid algorithm to solve the Poisson equation. We show experimental results on a variety of dynamic scenes. 1
