• Authors: Bruno Lecouat, Thomas Eboli, Jean Ponce, Julien Mairal
• Abstract summary: This paper introduces the first approach to reconstruct high-resolution, high-dynamic range color images from raw photographic bursts captured by a handheld camera with exposure bracketing. The proposed algorithm is fast, with low memory requirements compared to state-of-the-art learning-based approaches to image restoration. Experiments demonstrate its excellent performance with super-resolution factors of up to $times 4$ on real photographs taken in the wild with hand-held cameras.

• Abstract: Photographs captured by smartphones and mid-range cameras have limited spatial resolution and dynamic range, with noisy response in underexposed regions and color artefacts in saturated areas. This paper introduces the first approach (to the best of our knowledge) to the reconstruction of high-resolution, high-dynamic range color images from raw photographic bursts captured by a handheld camera with exposure bracketing. This method uses a physically-accurate model of image formation to combine an iterative optimization algorithm for solving the corresponding inverse problem with a learned image representation for robust alignment and a learned natural image prior. The proposed algorithm is fast, with low memory requirements compared to state-of-the-art learning-based approaches to image restoration, and features that are learned end to end from synthetic yet realistic data. Extensive experiments demonstrate its excellent performance with super-resolution factors of up to $\times 4$ on real photographs taken in the wild with hand-held cameras, and high robustness to low-light conditions, noise, camera shake, and moderate object motion.

Our approach consists of two main components: 6-DOF camera trajectory-based motion blur formulation and voxel-based radiance fields. Compared with the existing works, our approach restores much sharper 3D scenes with the order of 10 times less training time and GPU memory consumption.

  Dynamic radiance field reconstruction methods aim to model the time-varying structure and appearance of a dynamic scene. Existing methods, however, assume that accurate camera poses can be reliably estimated by Structure from Motion (SfM) algorithms. We address this robustness issue by jointly estimating the static and dynamic radiance fields along with the camera parameters.

Key challenges for solving this problem include (i) aligning the input pictures with sub-pixel accuracy, (ii) handling raw (noisy) images for maximal faithfulness to native camera data, and (iii) designing/learning an image prior (regularizer) well suited to the task.

We model the HDRto-LDR image formation pipeline as the (1) dynamic range clipping, (2) non-linear mapping from a camera response function, and (3) quantization. We demonstrate that the proposed method performs favorably against state-of-the-art single-image HDR reconstruction algorithms.
