Method for merging multiple exposure color image data

In most of nowadays intelligent systems (robots, vehicles, etc.) the sensing based on image processing represents an essential part. In order to be able to use these systems effectively even if the lighting conditions are not ideal, e.g. dark objects, very bright areas in the scene, etc., multiple exposure based image reproduction algorithms are highly welcome. The main aim of the paper is to introduce a novel method enabling to merge multiple exposure images and obtain a corresponding High Dynamic Range Image.
