PathPartner Technology Announces HDR Application for Android

PR Newswire | 02 Dec, 2013
BANGALORE, India: PathPartner Technology, a leading provider of embedded multimedia software services and solutions, announces the availability of licensable HDR algorithm for image capture. HDR aims at adding more "dynamic range" to photographs; here dynamic range is the range between the lightest and darkest areas of an image.

The algorithm supports de-ghosting to compensate motion. The HDR algorithm is highly optimized for ARM and DSP architectures to enable fast shot to shot delay.

Key features of PathPartner's HDR Algorithm:

    Generates a high dynamic intensity range image from a bracket of three different exposures. This dynamic range closely approximates that of the human eye, far surpassing what a camera sensor is capable of in a single click. Effectively, this means the darkest and brightest areas in the image are rendered clearly irrespective of their pixel areas; this is something missed by auto exposure
    Virtual Tripod effect - Perfect image alignment for compensating user hand shake during image capture
    De-ghosting option- Motion of subjects in the scene while the differently exposed images are being captured causes ghosting aberrations, which is eliminated intelligently through the de-ghosting algorithm.
    Supports dynamic exposure value determination based on scene illumination
    Supports multiple post processing effects to suit the scene mood
    Full resolution support on any of the Android based devices
    Algorithm optimized for ARM NEON based multi-core processors using multi-threaded implementation for faster on-device HDR processing

This HDR algorithm is implemented in our latest Android app ppinng!HDR which is a camera application for taking real HDR photos.
