Ghost-Free High Dynamic Range Imaging Using Histogram Separation and Edge Preserving Denoising
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF COMPUTERS & TECHNOLOGY - Year 2013, Vol 12, Issue 3
Abstract
In this paper, we introduce a ghost-free High Dynamic Range imaging algorithm for obtaining ghost-free high dynamicrange (HDR) images. The multiple image fusion based HDR method work only on condition that there is no movement ofcamera and object when capturing multiple, differently exposed low dynamic range (LDR) images. The proposed algorithmmakes three LDR images from a single input image to remove such an unrealistic condition. For this purpose a histogramseparation method is proposed in the algorithm for generating three LDR images by stretching each separated histogram.An edge-preserving denoising technique is also proposed in the algorithm to suppress the noise that is amplified in thestretching process. In the proposed algorithm final HDR image free from ghost artifacts in dynamic environment because itself-generates three LDR images from a single input image. Therefore, the proposed algorithm can be use in mobilephone camera and a consumer compact camera to provide the ghost artifacts free HDR images in the form of either inbuiltor post-processing software application.
