Abstract

Digital image processing can often improve the quality of visual sensing of images and real-world scenes. Recently, high dynamic range (HDR) imaging techniques have become more and more popular in the field. Both classical and soft computing–based methods proved to be advantages in revealing the non-visible parts of images and realistic scenes. However, extracting as much details as possible is not always enough because the sensing capability of the human eye depends on many other factors and the visual quality is not always proportional to the rate of accurate reproduction of the scene. In this paper, a new fuzzy information measure is introduced by which the quality of HDR images can be improved and both the amount of visible details and the quality of sensing can be increased.
