What is it about?

High dynamic range (HDR) imaging by combining multiple low dynamic range (LDR) images of different exposures provides a promising way to produce high quality photographs. However, the misalignment between the input images leads to ghosting artifacts in the reconstructed HDR image. In this paper, we propose a novel neural network that merges and fuses the LDR inputs, processing the data using multiple frequency representations.

Why is it important?

We present a novel spatial attention mechanism and transform domain processing to reduce ghosting artifacts.

Perspectives

This article takes a different approach to HDR imaging in that it does not apply an optical flow step to try to align pixels, instead relying on a novel spatial attention mechanism, resulting in an efficient algorithm. The cross domain processing is shown to give a measurable improvement in performance.
