In image processing, computer graphics, andphotography,high dynamic range imaging(HDRIor justHDR) is a set of techniques that allow a greaterdynamic rangeofluminancesbetween the lightest and darkest areas of an image than standard digital imaging techniques or photographic methods. This wider dynamic range allows HDR images to more accurately represent the wide range of intensity levels found in real scenes, ranging from direct sunlight to faint starlight.[1]
The two main sources of HDR imagery are computer renderings and merging of multiple photographs, which in turn are known as low dynamic range (LDR)[2] (also calledstandard dynamic range(SDR)[3]) photographs.
Tone mapping techniques, which reduce overall contrast to facilitate display of HDR images on devices with lower dynamic range, can be applied to produce images with preserved or exaggerated local contrast for artistic effect. :- petikan dari 'wikipedia'
