Wide Dynamic Range - Common Solutions

Common Solutions

There are two basic technical solutions that are used to provide WDR cameras:

  • Multi-frame imaging – where the camera captures more than one frame or "version" of the field of view, each frame has different dynamic range, and the camera combines the different frames to produce one WDR frame. This technique is also known for still images as HDR imaging
  • Non-linear sensors – usually logarithmic sensors, where the sensitivity of the sensor at different illumination levels is different, and enables the capture of a wide dynamic range image in one frame.

Famous quotes containing the words common and/or solutions:

    The mother’s battle for her child—with sickness, with poverty, with war, with all the forces of exploitation and callousness that cheapen human life—needs to become a common human battle, waged in love and in the passion for survival.
    Adrienne Rich (20th century)

    Every man is in a state of conflict, owing to his attempt to reconcile himself and his relationship with life to his conception of harmony. This conflict makes his soul a battlefield, where the forces that wish this reconciliation fight those that do not and reject the alternative solutions they offer. Works of art are attempts to fight out this conflict in the imaginative world.
    Rebecca West (1892–1983)
