HDR Imaging: Sensors and Architectures

Arnaud Darmont, CEO of Aphesa, delivers 1-day course "High Dynamic Range Imaging: Sensors and Architectures" at IS&T/SPIE Electronic Imaging conference on Jan. 22, 2012.

The course is going to:
  • describe various approaches to achieve high dynamic range imaging
  • predict the behavior of a given sensor or architecture on a scene
  • specify the sensor or system requirements for a high dynamic range application
  • classify a high dynamic range application into one of several standard types

The course notes are going to be published as a textbook.

    A little expensive, given quite some material on HDR is available online and for free.
