A Novel Solution for Reconstructing More Details High Dynamic Range Image

Although scholars have made significant progress in obtaining high dynamic range (HDR) images by using deep learning algorithms to fuse multiple exposure images, there are still challenges, such as image artifacts and distortion in high-brightness and low-brightness saturated areas. To this end, we...

description Although scholars have made significant progress in obtaining high dynamic range (HDR) images by using deep learning algorithms to fuse multiple exposure images, there are still challenges, such as image artifacts and distortion in high-brightness and low-brightness saturated areas. To this end, we propose a more detailed high dynamic range (MDHDR) method. Firstly, our proposed method uses super-resolution to enhance the details of long-exposure and short-exposure images and fuses them into medium-exposure images, respectively. Then, the HDR image is reconstructed by fusing the original medium-exposure, enhanced medium-exposure images. Extensive experimental results show that the proposed method can reconstruct good HDR images that perform better image clarity in quantitative tests and improve HDR-VDP2 by 4.8% in qualitative tests.
