Claim One:
1. A High Dynamic Range Image (HDRI) creation apparatus, comprising: a Low Dynamic Range Image (LDRI) collector, including at least one of one or more processing devices, configured to collect a plurality of LDRIs while varying an exposure of one or more image capturing devices; and an HDRI creator, as at least one of the one or more processing devices, configured to identify a reference frame from among the plurality of collected LDRIs, to determine a joint probability function by comparing the identified reference frame to each of remaining LDRIs of the plurality of collected LDRIs, to determine a global transfer function representing a relationship between intensities of the reference frame and the remaining LDRIs based on the determined joint probability function, to define an area where a ghost occurs using the joint probability function, and to create an HDRI based on the determined global transfer function.
