Abstract

A method and apparatus for generating a high dynamic range image are disclosed by the present invention, which is used to remove "ghost" in the high dynamic range image. The method includes: for an image collecting area, obtaining N-frame low dynamic range images which have different exposure, wherein, N is an integer greater than or equal to 2; determining one frame low dynamic range image of the N-frame low dynamic range images as a reference image; in remaining N-1 frame low dynamic range images , determining a motion area of each frame image of K-frame low dynamic range images, wherein, K is an integer greater than 0 and less than or equal to N-1; based on the reference image, correcting the motion area of each frame image of the K-frame low dynamic range images, and generating K-frame corrected images; fusing the reference image and the K-frame corrected images, then generating one frame high dynamic range image.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of image processing, in particular to a method and a device for generating high dynamic range images. Background technique [0002] With the development of computer technology, due to the limitation of hardware conditions of electronic devices such as smartphones, feature phones, and tablet computers, the images captured by the image acquisition device and the images captured by the SLR camera have a high dynamic range (HDR, High Dynamic Range) There is a huge gap. In order to improve the image quality of captured images, electronic equipment adopts HDR technology, that is, multiple low dynamic range (LDR, Low Dynamic Range) images captured by an image acquisition device are combined into one HDR image. As the performance of embedded processors in electronic devices continues to improve, electronic devices can generate high-quality images using HDR technology within a response time acceptable to users.
