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:

    I set forth a humble and inglorious life; that does not matter. You can tie up all moral philosophy with a common and private life just as well as with a life of richer stuff. Each man bears the entire form of man’s estate.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    Science fiction writers foresee the inevitable, and although problems and catastrophes may be inevitable, solutions are not.
    Isaac Asimov (1920–1992)
