HDR Deghosting Using Motion-Registration-Free Fusion in the Luminance Gradient Domain

Abstract

For most of the existing high dynamic range (HDR) deghosting flows, they require a time-consuming motion registration step to generate ghost-free HDR results. Since the motion registration step usually becomes the bottleneck of the entire flow, in this paper, we propose a novel H DR deghosting flow which does not require any motion registration process. By taking channel properties into account, the luminance and chrominance channels are fused differently in the proposed flow. Our motion-registration-free fusion could generate high-quality HDR results swiftly even if the original Low Dynamic Range (LDR) images contain objects with large foreground motions.
