Towards a database of photo-realistic HDR synthetic images

GTI has been working in the creation of photo-realistic synthetic HDR images, as well as some new tools to associate additional information with them. These tools can be used by researchers to create their own images with any characteristic they are interesed in.

High Dynamic Range (HDR) imaging is one of the most active research topics related to the Media industry. An important part of this research effort is devoted to the task of mapping HDR images to common Low Dynamic Range displays (LDR), which raises the interest on the analysis of large sets of HDR images. However, since HDR images are typically difficult to capture, the existing databases of such images contain a very little number of them, which is usually not enough for researchers to work with (the largest one contains just 106 images). Photo-realistic HDR synthetic images emerge as a possible solution to this issue because they are fast to create and to modify, and it is also easy to associate additional information with them.

As a result of the work developed in the GTI, mainly by Maria Bosser, in collaboration with IP4EC (partner in IDI), a set of 183 HDR synthetic images has been created and will be available to the research community.
