Abstract

See full text

An image processing system for generating a high dynamic range image from a first image and a second image is presented. The system comprises a first displacement estimator adapted to estimate a displacement of image content between a reference image derived from the first image and an image to be warped derived from the second image. The system comprises a first warping unit that compensates the estimated displacement by warping the image to be warped resulting in a first warped image. The system comprises a first error detector adapted to detect geometric warping errors within the first warped image and a first error compensator adapted to compensate the estimated geometric warping errors within the first warped image resulting in a first error corrected image. The system comprises a high dynamic range calculator adapted to calculate the high-dynamic range image based upon the first error corrected image and the reference image.
