Abstract

We present a fast, robust and fully automatic method for high dynamic range (HDR) images acquisition for non-static scenes. To obtain high correctness of the approach, perceptual experiments were conducted. HDR images became popular for realistic scene acquisition, as they register much more information than standard images. The most common approach for their acquisition is a composition of photographs taken with a conventional camera. However, the approach suffers from some limitations caused by even the smallest camera movements as well as by objects in motion in the scene. The last one causes ghost artifacts visible in a final image. The key components of our technique include probability maps calculated on the basis of sequences of hand-held photographs and perceptual experiments. We obtained validation of our results by HDR VDP technique.
