Adaptive exposure fusion for high dynamic range imaging

This paper proposes a novel exposure fusion algorithm that directly fuses exposure bracketed shots into a displayable image. Most techniques targeted for direct fusion do not have an effective exposure control mechanism that can compensate for the limitations in the human visual system (HVS). The proposed algorithm offers a novel approach that adaptively adjusts its parameter for the best viewing experience. Changing the parameter adaptively aims to mitigate the perceptual loss of details caused by Weber's effect, brightening the dark regions while darkening the bright regions. The proposed method yields a perceptually detailed image when compared against other methods of similar nature.
