A Generating Method of High Dynamic Range Images Using Principal Component Analysis and Gradient Pyramid
A generating method(HDR-PGG)of high dynamic range(HDR)images using principal component analysis(PCA)and gradient pyramid is proposed to solve the problem that HDR image generated by the fusion of multi-exposure low dynamic range(LDR)images has high requirements for sampling equipment and is not applicable to dynamic scenarios. Firstly
the improved S-curve global mapping algorithm and the Retinex tone mapping algorithm are used to process a PCA transformed luminance image so that halo and graying are avoided
and the PCA inverse transformation is used to obtain multi-exposure LDR images. Secondly
the information of contrast
saturation
exposure and luminance of multi-exposure LDR images are used to construct scalar weight maps to ensure that the bright and dark areas of the generated HDR image are distinct
and the details in the HDR image are clear. Finally
the HDR image is fused using the gradient pyramid. Experiments are performed and the HDR images generated by HDR-PGG are compared with those by the Laplacian pyramid algorithm and the gradient pyramid algorithm. The results show that the average pixel distribution probability of HDR images generated by HDR-PGG method reduce by 10.84% and 30.75% when the visual difference is over 75%
respectively
and the average relative entropy and the noise ratio increases by 0.542 1 and 0.508 9
respectively
compared with those of the Laplacian pyramid algorithm and the gradient pyramid algorithm.
