When the lighting isn’t ideal: a comparison of HDR modes
Vision Channel: understand HDR and discover it live on 22 September
Sometimes the sun is glaring, sometimes a detail is lost in the shadows: challenging lighting conditions are part and parcel of everyday life for many vision applications. HDR captures additional image information and makes details in very bright and very dark areas usable. The aim here is not to produce images that are as visually appealing as possible to the human eye, but to maximise the amount of image information available for reliable machine analysis. However, this data can only be utilised in suitable HDR and display formats.
There are several ways to achieve this: IDS offers solutions such as Clear HDR, Quad HDR and Sequence HDR. Which one is best suited to which task? Our new video on the Vision Channel compares the methods and explains the basics of HDR image processing, tone mapping and display techniques, with examples from transport, welding, logistics and microscopy.
Rob Webb will demonstrate how HDR images are transformed into data for industrial image processing during the Vision Channel Live event on 22 September. Using specific examples, he will guide you through the complete workflow with IDS cameras and IDS peak. You’ll learn which data is suitable for analysis and which for visualisation – and how you can test and compare the methods yourself using the IDS peak SDK. Sequence HDR makes such workflows available for almost the entire IDS camera portfolio.
