Image acquisition technique for high dynamic range scenes using a multiband camera
Hideaki Haneishi, S. Miyahara, Atsushi Yoshida · Color Research & Application · 2006
Abstract Multiband cameras have been studied and developed for accurate color reproduction. On the other hand, high dynamic range image acquisition is also strongly desired in many applications. Multiband cameras can potentially meet both needs if their sensitivities are properly controlled. In this article, a method for expansion of the dynamic range that uses a six‐band camera consisting of three high‐sensitivity bands and three low‐sensitivity bands is introduced. Experimental results demonstrating the effectiveness of the method are also shown. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
