Abstract
In this paper, we present a simple yet effective method that takes advantage of the gradient information to accomplish the multiexposure image composition in both static and dynamic scenes. Given multiple images with different exposures, the proposed approach is capable of producing a pleasant tone-mapped-like high-dynamic-range image by compositing them seamlessly with the guidance of gradient-based quality assessment. In particular, two novel quality measures, namely, visibility and consistency, are developed based on the observations of gradient changes among different exposures. Experiments in various static and dynamic scenes are conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.Keywords
