Learning Outcomes |
After successful completion of the course, the student will be able to: |
- Explain the difference between LDR and HDR images.
- Create, tone map, display, HDR images.
- Apply alignment and deghosting algorithms to generate multi-exposure HDR images.
- Evaluate HDR images.
- Perform independed research on a topic and present it to the audience.
|
Teaching Methods |
The student is expected to carry out a semester long project in order to demonstrate the skills required to implement a real-world project . First 9 weeks, there will be 3 hours of lectures including project guidence. Afterwards, there will be regular consulation meetings with the students in order to guide and evaluate the term project. Students are also expected to perform a research on High Dynamic Range imaging topic and to write and present a research paper at the end of the semester.
