Abstract:
Automatic exposure (AE) is a common method implemented in consumer cameras to calculate the best exposure that tries to minimize under and over exposed pixels for a scene. We present a generalized framework for an AE algorithm for high dynamic range (HDR) imaging inspired by tone mapping operators (TMO) and pointing devices. Compared to other methods such as [Neumann et al. 1998] we propose a more general framework and an approach that enables exploring images and videos in different areas of the image/frame.
