Despite the emergence of new HDR acquisition methods, the multiple exposure technique (MET) is still the most popular one. The application of MET on dynamic scenes is a challenging task due to the diversity of motion patterns and uncontrollable factors such as sensor noise, scene occlusion and performance concerns on some platforms with limited computational capability. Currently, there are already more than 50 deghosting algorithms proposed for artifact-free HDR imaging of dynamic scenes and it is expected that this number will grow in the future. Due to the large number of algorithms, it is a difficult and time-consuming task to conduct subjective experiments for benchmarking recently proposed algorithms. In this thesis, first, a taxonomy of HDR deghosting methods and the key characteristics of each group of algorithms are introduced. Next, the potential artifacts which are observed frequently in the outputs of HDR deghosting algorithms are defined and an objective HDR image deghosting quality metric is presented. It is found that the proposed metric is well correlated with the human preferences and it may be used as a reference for benchmarking current and future HDR image deghosting algorithms

An Evaluation of ghost removal algorithms for exposure fusion
Kutlu, Tuğser; Akar, Gözde; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2015)
In high dynamic range imaging (HDR), the goal is to capture a scene with a higher dynamic range than the camera capable of capturing with a single exposure. Similar to HDR, exposure fusion is a process that takes multiple images and combines them to create a single dynamically enhanced image by only keeping the properly exposed elements. When using multiple images, local motion of objects can influence the quality of the final image in such a way that local motion of objects causes a ghost artifact. In this...
Deep joint deinterlacing and denoising for single shot dual-ISO HDR reconstruction
Çoğalan, Uğur; Akyüz, Ahmet Oğuz; Department of Computer Engineering (2019)
HDR (High Dynamic Range) images have traditionally been obtained by merging multiple exposures each captured with a different exposure time. However, this approach entails longer capture times and necessitates deghosting if the captured scene contains moving objects. With the advent of modern camera sensors that can perform per-pixel exposure modulation, it is now possible to capture all of the required exposures within a single shot. The new challenge then becomes how to best combine different pixels with ...
The State of the Art in HDR Deghosting: A Survey and Evaluation
Tursun, Okan Tarhan; Akyüz, Ahmet Oğuz; Erdem, Aykut; Erdem, Erkut (2015-05-01)
Obtaining a high quality high dynamic range (HDR) image in the presence of camera and object movement has been a long-standing challenge. Many methods, known as HDR deghosting algorithms, have been developed over the past ten years to undertake this challenge. Each of these algorithms approaches the deghosting problem from a different perspective, providing solutions with different degrees of complexity, solutions that range from rudimentary heuristics to advanced computer vision techniques. The proposed so...
Directional coding of backward compatible high dynamic range (HDR) image coding residues
Feyiz, Kutan; Kamışlı, Fatih; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2018)
High dynamic range (HDR) image and video formats are proposed to overcome limitations of widely accepted standard 8-bit low dynamic range (LDR) image and video representations. The main aim of these formats is to encode the whole luminance range of real world scenes which changes from extreme darkness ( 10 − 6 cd/ m 2 ) to bright sunshine ( 10 8 cd/ m 2 ), and to generate and store such scenes independent from the display technology. To achieve a successful transition from LDR to HDR technology, backward ...
Privacy protection of tone-mapped HDR images using false colours
ÇİFTÇİ, Serdar; Akyüz, Ahmet Oğuz; PİNHEİRO, Antonio M. G.; Ebrahimi, Touradj (2017-12-01)
High dynamic range (HDR) imaging has been developed for improved visual representation by capturing a wide range of luminance values. Owing to its properties, HDR content might lead to a larger privacy intrusion, requiring new methods for privacy protection. Previously, false colours were proved to be effective for assuring privacy protection for low dynamic range (LDR) images. In this work, the reliability of false colours when used for privacy protection of HDR images represented by tone-mapping operators...
