Abstract

High-dynamic range images can be created by combining multiple images of a scene with varying exposures, and the resulting images may contain ghosting artifacts due to the presence of movement in the scene at the time of capture. To address this problem, most of the existing algorithms conduct ghost detection techniques followed by a ghost region filling with the probable radiance of the scene. In this paper, we propose a novel ghost-removal procedure that does not require precise ghost detection and does not suffer from color artifacts. Results show that the newly devised algorithm performs better than the ones described in the previous research.
