HDR is coming, are you ready for it ?

Wednesday 11th December 2013

Join us for beer & Pizza!

Professor Alan Chalmers of Warwick university will bring us up to date with an overview of the High Dynamic Range system (HDR), it's standardisation progress and includes a live demonstration of a complete HDR video pipeline.

HDR video of up to 18 f-stops will be captured at 30 frames a second on a low cost system and transmitted to a mobile device.

The natural world presents our eyes with a wide range of colours and intensities from moonlight to bright sunshine. We can see detail in regions that vary significantly in luminance. Current imaging techniques are incapable of accurately capturing or displaying such a range of lighting. Some areas under-exposed and others over-exposed.

High Dynamic Range imaging can capture, store, transmit and deliver real-world lighting. This gives a step change in viewing experience, for example the ability to clearly see the football when it is kicked from the shadow of the stadium into sunshine."

This HDR development work is part of a European wide initiative (EU COST Action IC1005 to develop an efficient open source standard for HDR video.
