Abstract

Given a set of sequential exposures, High Dynamic Range imaging is a popular method for obtaining high-quality images for fairly static scenes. However, this typically suffers from ghosting artifacts for scenes with significant motion. Also, existing techniques cannot handle heavily saturated regions in the sequence. In this paper, we propose an approach that handles both the issues mentioned above. We achieve robustness to motion (both object and camera) and saturation via an energy minimization formulation with spatio-temporal constraints. The proposed approach leverages information from the neighborhood of heavily saturated regions to correct such regions. The experimental results demonstrate the superiority of our method over state-of-the-art techniques for a variety of challenging dynamic scenes.
