Why HDR
————
Real life scenes often have a wide range of light intensity, which
cannot be captured by a camera. In a photo of such a scene the bright
areas look washed out and everything in shadows is pictured as a black
spot with no details. The HDR technique allows you to capture details in
bright and dark areas and have them merged in a single photo.
HDR photography is widely adopted by professional photographers. Wouldn’t it be nice to have an HDR in mobile phones?
The problem is that HDR requires taking several differently exposed
images in series, which must be precisely aligned and then fused. In
order to be usable for real life scenes, the HDR feature should include
moving object detection and hand shake compensation to avoid or minimize
the ghosting in the final image. That requires a lot of computational
resources and makes a challenge even for professional desktop HDR
software.
Almalence has brought its expertise in
professional HDR software to mobile phones. Our HDR fusion algorithms
compensate hand shaking and detect moving objects in the scene,
suppressing ghosting artifacts. At the same time, the algorithms are
quick enough to provide comfortable processing time on mobile devices.
What’s in this version:
memory optimizations, full resolution should work on all devices now
workaround for some faulty firmwares (exposure step is reported incorrectly, in particular on GT-S5830)
given up unreliable exif rotation tag, image is rotated to portrait/landscape orientation internally
