Exposure Fusion Technique
Exposure Fusion Technique
This code implements the Exposure Fusion, a Low-Dynamic-Range technique. It blends multi-exposure sequence of photo into a high-quality image, and is guided by measurement as Contrast, Saturation and Well-exposedness.
You can find the Research paper where the algorithm comes from here [1]
This code used python 2.7 and the packages Numpy and SciPy.
Here some multi-exposure sequence of photo used:
Here the result with the Naive implementation:
Here the result with the Exposure Fusion algorithm with the Laplacian Pyramid:
To test the code with your own images, put them in a new folder under the folder image_set and edit the text file list_images.txt by putting the names of your images.
Then run main.py with the desired arguments. You can see all the possible arguments by running: python main.py -h
