Advanced High Dynamic Range Imaging: Theory and Practice (Hardcover)

Imaging techniques seek to simulate the array of light that reaches our eyes to provide the illusion of sensing scenes directly. Both photography and computer graphics deal with the generation of images. Both disciplines have to cope with the high dynamic range in the energy of visible light that human eyes can sense.

Traditionally photography and computer graphics took different approaches to the high dynamic range problem. Work over the last ten years though has unified these disciplines and created powerful new tools for the creation of complex, compelling and realistic images. This book provides a practical introduction to the emerging new discipline of high dynamic range imaging that combines photography and computer graphics. By providing detailed equations and code, the book gives the reader the tools needed to experiment with new techniques for creating compelling images.

影像技術旨在模擬抵達我們眼睛的光線陣列，以提供直接感知場景的幻覺。攝影和電腦圖形學都處理圖像的生成。這兩個領域都必須應對人眼能感知的可見光能量的高動態範圍。

傳統上，攝影和電腦圖形學對高動態範圍問題採取不同的方法。然而，在過去的十年中，這些領域的工作已經統一起來，並創造了強大的新工具，用於創建複雜、引人入勝和逼真的圖像。本書提供了對新興的高動態範圍影像學的實用介紹，結合了攝影和電腦圖形學。通過提供詳細的方程式和代碼，本書為讀者提供了實驗創建引人入勝圖像的新技術所需的工具。
