Claim:
1. A computer-implemented method of creating high-dynamic range images, the method comprising: determining, by one or more computing devices, a signal-to-noise ratio objective associated with an imaging platform configured to capture one or more images region of interest, the signal-to-noise ratio objective specifying a desired signal-to-noise behavior as a function of a brightness of the region of interest, determining, by the one or more computing devices, an exposure profile associated with the imaging platform based at least in part on the signal-to-noise ratio objective; obtaining, by the one or more computing devices, data indicative of a plurality of image frames, each depicting at least a portion of the region of interest, the plurality of image frames being captured by the imaging platform in accordance with the exposure profile; and generating, by the one or more computing devices, a high-dynamic range of at least a portion of the region of interest based at least in part on the plurality of image frames.
