在曝光融合(Exposure Fusion)算法问世之前,多曝光序列合成用于显示的HDR需要两个步骤,第一步是将多张不同曝光的低动态范围图像合成为HDR(例如Debevec提出的加权融合方法),通常HDR为12bit或者16bit;第二步是通过tonemapping对高动态范围HDR进行压缩以支持低动态范围显示设备(例如Durand提出的基于双边滤波的tonemapping算法),一般会压缩至8bit。
曝光融合算法的优势在于不需要标定相机响应曲线,并且跳过tonemapping步骤,直接合成用于显示的高动态范围图像。
1 算法细节
1.1 Naive
1.1.1 主要思想
对于多曝光图像序列,取每一张图像中最有价值的部分用于合成。例如,曝光时间长的图像中暗区细节丰富同时噪声水平低,那么暗区就是有价值的部分。显然,需要一个指标来衡量每张图像中哪些像素有价值,然后通过计算每张图每个像素的价值指标当作对应的权重,最终通过加权融合的方式得到HDR。
1.1.2 权重计算
从对比度、饱和度和亮度三个维度对像素的价值进行评估:
- 对比度
这里的对比度指的是图像的梯度,对于边缘和纹理等重要的信息分配很大的权重。具体地,对图像的灰度图执行拉普拉斯滤波,结果取绝对值作为对比度指标

RGB三通道之间差异大的可视为饱和度高的区域,反之,对于过曝或者欠曝区域RGB三通道的值趋于一致,饱和度较低。因此,可将RGB三个通道之间的标准差作为饱和度指标。

对于归一化至0~1范围的图像,将取值在0.5左右的像素视为曝光良好,应该分配很大的权重;接近0和1的分别为欠曝和过曝应该分配很小的权重。像素值与其对应权重的关系符合均值为0.5的高斯分布:

这样粗糙融合的结果存在一个问题,在权重尖锐过渡的区域,由于每张图像的曝光时间不同,绝对强度也不同,导致融合后灰度跳变太大,图像中呈现很多黑色和白色斑点,与噪声形态类似。
权重尖锐过渡区会出现问题,那么可以让其平滑一点,提到平滑自然而然就想到了高斯滤波。作者对权重图做高斯滤波后再进行合成,虽然斑点问题得到了缓解,但是在边缘处会出现光晕现象。
既然光晕是由于边缘处的权重被平滑所导致的,可以考虑使用保边滤波代替高斯滤波。
1.2 Multi-resolution
由于naive版本的融合方式不能完全解决黑白斑点的问题,并且会引入光晕这样的新问题。因此,作者提出了使用拉普拉斯金字塔融合的方式,其流程如下图所示:
简单来说,就是从不同曝光的原始图像中分解出拉普拉斯金字塔,对应的权重图中分解出高斯金字塔,然后分别在每个尺度下进行融合,得到融合后的拉普拉斯金字塔。最后,从拉普拉斯金字塔的顶层开始向上采样,叠加同尺度的拉普拉斯细节,再向上采样和叠加细节,递归至最高分辨率,得到最终的结果。(此处有一个点需要注意,拉普拉斯金字塔的顶层就是原始图像高斯金字塔的顶层)
- 为什么拉普拉斯金字塔融合效果好?
将平坦区和尖锐过渡区(如边缘)分开融合,平坦区融合使用的是经过多次高斯滤波和下采样后的权重图,仅在比较大的边缘纹理处变化剧烈;由于拉普拉斯金字塔中只保留了边缘等高频信息,因此在拉普拉斯金字塔上对尖锐过渡区进行融合不会影响平坦区。
