Abstract:
1. An image generation apparatus comprising: a storage configured to store a plurality of low-dynamic-range (LDR) image sets each including a plurality of low-dynamic-range (LDR) segmented images of different pan angles or tilt angles, each LDR image set being of a different exposure level, respectively; a high-dynamic-range (HDR) synthesizing unit configured to combine a plurality of LDR segmented images of different exposure levels so as to generate a high-dynamic-range (HDR) segmented image set including a plurality of high-dynamic-range (HDR) segmented images of different pan angles or tilt angles; and an output image synthesizing unit configured to output an HDR output image by stitching together adjacent HDR segmented images of the high-dynamic-range (HDR) segmented image set.
