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:

    Repentance keeps my heart impure;
    But what am I that dare
    Fancy that I can
    Better conduct myself or have more
    Sense than a common man?
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    The anorexic prefigures this culture in rather a poetic fashion by trying to keep it at bay. He refuses lack. He says: I lack nothing, therefore I shall not eat. With the overweight person, it is the opposite: he refuses fullness, repletion. He says, I lack everything, so I will eat anything at all. The anorexic staves off lack by emptiness, the overweight person staves off fullness by excess. Both are homeopathic final solutions, solutions by extermination.
    Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
