ABSTRACT
Many natural scenes have a dynamic range that is larger than the dynamic range of a camera's image sensor. A popular approach to producing an image without under- and over-exposed areas is to capture several input images with varying exposure settings, and later merge them into a single high-quality result using offline image processing software. We present a system for creating images of high-dynamic-range (HDR) scenes that operates entirely on a mobile camera. Our system consists of an automatic HDR metering algorithm that determines which exposures to capture, a video-rate viewfinder preview algorithm that allows the user to verify the dynamic range that will be recorded, and a light-weight image merging algorithm that computes a high-quality result directly on the camera. By using our system, a photographer can capture, view, and share images of HDR scenes directly on camera, without using offline image processing software

Panorama light-field imaging
SIGGRAPH '12: ACM SIGGRAPH 2012 PostersWe present a first approach towards panorama light-field imaging. By converting overlapping sub-light-fields into individual focal stacks, computing a panoramic focal stack from them, and converting the panoramic focal stack back into a panoramic light ...
High dynamic range and super-resolution from raw image bursts
Photographs captured by smartphones and mid-range cameras have limited spatial resolution and dynamic range, with noisy response in underexposed regions and color artefacts in saturated areas. This paper introduces the first approach (to the best of our ...
