An Extended Exposure Fusion and its Application to Single Image Contrast Enhancement
AbstractExposure Fusion is a high dynamic range imaging technique fusing a bracketed exposure sequence into a high quality image. In this paper, we provide a refined version resolving its out-of-range artifact and its low-frequency halo. It improves on the original Exposure Fusion by augmenting contrast in all image parts. Furthermore, we extend this algorithm to single exposure images, thereby turning it into a competitive contrast enhancement operator. To do so, bracketed images are first simulated from a single input image and then fused by the new version of Exposure Fusion. The resulting algorithm competes with state of the art image enhancement methods.
