Consistent Multi- and Single-View HDR-Image Reconstruction from Single Exposures

Abstract

We propose a CNN-based approach for reconstructing HDR images from just a single exposure. It predicts the saturated areas of LDR images and then blends the linearized input with the predicted outputs. Two loss functions are used: the Mean Absolute Error and the Multi-Scale Structural Similarity Index. The choice of these loss functions allows us to outperform previous algorithms in the reconstructed dynamic range. Once the network trained, we input multi-view images to it to output multi-view coherent images.
