초록

노출 합성은 두 장 이상의 서로 다른 노출 값을 갖는 좁은 동적 영역 영상을 합쳐 한 장의 넓은 동적 영역을 갖는 결과 영상을 생성하는 알고리듬이다. 본 논문은 블록기반의 지역적 특성을 고려한 노출 조정 기법과 개선된 채도 특성 요소를 이용해 가중치 맵을 생성하는 알고리듬을 제안한다. 제안하는 노출 조정 기법은 인간시각체계의 특성을 고려하여 입력 영상의 노출 값을 보정함으로써 노출 합성 결과 영상 내의 세밀한 부분을 효과적으로 보존한다. 개선된 채도 영상은 입력 영상 내의 포화 영역을 효과적으로 반영한 가중치맵을 생성한다. 본 논문은 기존의 대표적인 노출 합성 알고리듬과의 주관적 화질과 MEF-SSIM, 수행 시간 비교를 통해 제안하는 알고리듬의 우수성을 입증하였다.

Exposure fusion is a typical image fusion technique to generate a high dynamic range image by combining two or more different exposure images. In this paper, we propose block-based exposure adjustment considering unique characteristics of human visual system and improved saturation measure to get weight map. Proposed exposure adjustment artificially corrects intensity values of each input images considering human visual system, efficiently preserving details in the result image of exposure fusion. The improved saturation measure is used to make a weight map that effectively reflects the saturation region in the input images. We show the superiority of the proposed algorithm through subjective image quality, MEF-SSIM, and execution time comparison with the conventional exposure fusion algorithm.
