Abstract

This paper presents a novel FPGA architecture of high dynamic range (HDR) video processing pipeline, based on the capturing of a sequence of differently exposed images. An acquisition process enabling multi-exposure HDR as well as fast implementation of local tone mapping operator involving bilateral filtering is proposed. The HDR acquisition process is enhanced by the application of novel deghosting method, which is dedicated for hardware implementation and proposed in this paper. The hardware processing pipeline is designed with regards to efficiency and performance and the calculations are performed in fixed point arithmetic. The pipeline is suitable for programmable hardware (FPGA-Field Programmable Gate Arrays) implementation and it achieves real-time performance on full HD HDR video which overcomes state-of-the-art solutions that use local tone mapping and deghosting algorithm.
