Abstract
There is provided a method of generating a high dynamic range (HDR) image, including obtaining an image sequence with similar exposure times, obtaining a plurality of still images with different exposure times, which temporally correspond to at least one image among the image sequence, and generating a matched image having an HDR from the plurality of still images by using the image sequence.
Claims20
A method of generating a high dynamic range (HDR) image, the method comprising:
- obtaining an image sequence with similar exposure times;
- obtaining a plurality of still images with different exposure times, which temporally correspond to at least one image among the image sequence;
- and
- generating a matched image having an HDR from the plurality of the still images by using the image sequence.
An apparatus comprising:
- a capturing unit configured to obtain an image sequence with similar exposure times and to obtain a plurality of still images with different exposure times, which temporally correspond to at least one image among the image sequence;
- and
- a controller configured to generate a matched image having an high dynamic range (HDR) from the plurality of still images by using the image sequence.
A method of generating a high dynamic range (HDR) image, the method comprising:
- capturing a sequence of images using substantially similar exposure settings;
- capturing a plurality of still images using substantially dissimilar exposure settings substantially simultaneous with the capturing of the sequence of images;
- and
- generating an HDR image from the plurality of the still images by using motion information obtained from the sequence of images.
An apparatus comprising:
- a camera;
- and
- a controller configured to control the camera to capturing a sequence of images using substantially similar exposure settings, to control the camera to capture a plurality of still images using substantially dissimilar exposure settings substantially simultaneous with the capturing of the sequence of images;
- and to generate a high dynamic range (HDR) from the plurality of the still images by using motion information obtained from the sequence of images.
