• Abstract: High dynamic range (HDR) image is widely-used in graphics and photography due to the rich information it contains. Recently the community has started using deep neural network (DNN) to reconstruct standard dynamic range (SDR) images into HDR. Albeit the superiority of current DNN-based methods, their application scenario is still limited: (1) heavy model impedes real-time processing, and (2) inapplicable to legacy SDR content with more degradation types. Therefore, we propose a lightweight DNN-based method trained to tackle legacy SDR. For better design, we reform the problem modeling and emphasize degradation model. Experiments show that our method reached appealing performance with minimal computational cost compared with others.

  Low Dynamic Range (LDR) to High Dynamic Range () image translation is an important computer vision problem. Most current state-of-the-art methods require high-quality paired LDR, datasets for model training. We propose a modified cycle-consistent adversarial architecture and utilize unpaired LDR, datasets for training.

  High Dynamic Range (LDR) images can be recovered from several Low Dynamic Range (LDR) images by existing Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) techniques. DNNs still generate ghosting artifacts when LDR images have saturation and large motion. We formulate the HDR deghosting problem as an image generation that leverages LDR features as the diffusion model's condition.
