• Abstract: Most existing multi-exposure HDR methods follow a fixed feed-forward reconstruction paradigm, making them prone to ghosting artifacts in complex dynamic scenes. To address this issue, we propose HDRAgent, the first agent-driven framework for HDR imaging, which adaptively selects reconstruction strategies according to the current scene conditions. Specifically, to provide scene-specific prior knowledge, we introduce a fine-grained contextual knowledge matching (FCM) module. This module leverages multimodal large language model (MLLM)-derived scene perception to retrieve relevant historical cases and tool knowledge, organizing them into structured evidence for MLLM-based adaptive tool scheduling. In addition, we propose a perception--distortion feedback mechanism that transforms post-execution quality assessment and artifact diagnosis into structured feedback, which is accumulated in historical memory to help subsequent contextual knowledge refinement and strategy selection. Furthermore, considering that extreme motion can invalidate alignment methods, we design an agent-guided generative alignment strategy that uses MLLM-based dynamic-region parsing to reconstruct unreliable contents in non-reference frames under reference-frame guidance. Experiments demonstrate that HDRAgent effectively reduces ghosting and local artifacts while achieving competitive or superior objective performance and visual quality.

We propose to leverage DM within a compact latent space to generate concise guidance priors and introduce a novel solution called Reti-Diff for the IDIR task. Reti-Diff comprises two key components: the Retinex-based latent DM (RLDM) and the Retinex-guided transformer (RG
