Low Dynamic Range Image Set Generation from Single Image

Due to the higher exposure, the information in the highlight area usually clipped. This is one of the bottlenecks for the generation of high dynamic range (HDR) image. In this paper, we describe a simple technique to retrieve the information from an overexposed area by creating low dynamic range (LDR) image set from a single LDR image. These images are fused to generate HDR image. We evaluate our result by the single image HDR generation technique. Our technique shows better visual results compared to other techniques.
