In this paper, an automated algorithm for fusion of differently exposed images is proposed. The algorithm is based on Gaussian/Laplacian pyramid decomposition of the input images. It includes optimization of the pyramid height for best quality results, and decision module for the necessity of the procedure for the recorded scene. The end user involvement in the process of the creation of the output image is completely eliminated, making this algorithm a good choice for use on a mobile platform, as add-on software for low price mobile cameras. Experimental results show high efficiency of the algorithm and excellent visual quality of the resulting images.
