A metric for predicting visible differences (discrimination) and image quality (mean-opinion-score) in high dynamic range images. The metric is carefully calibrated and extensively tested against actual experimental data, ensuring the highest possible accuracy. 
|
HDR images are captured in a single exposure with standard cameras by encoding information about the saturated pixels in a glare. The glare is produced by a cross-screen (star) filter, making it amenable to tomographic reconstruction. 
|
Digital viewfinder in cameras does not show depth-of-field, lack of sharpness or motion blur, which is normally visible in a full-size image. Based on blur-matching experimental data, the algorithm produces lower resolution images while preserving apperent blur.
