haader
======

A tool to construct HDR-images from a series of photographs of the same scene
with different exposures. It reads JPEG-files and parses the EXIF data to
retrieve their exposure times. The sensor response function is estimated using a
method which is similar to the one described by Debevec and Malik in 1997.

There are several interfaces available.

## Command Line Interface

To build the CLI, you will just need a C++ compiler as all dependencies are
included:
```sh
# apt-get install build-essential
```

Build:
```sh
$ cd cli
$ make
```

Run:
```sh
$ cd cli
$ ./haader <image1.jpg> <image2.jpg> <image3.jpg> ...
```

## GTK Interface

Needs GTK+3.0 and the corresponding development packages:
```sh
# apt-get install build-essential libgtk-3-0 libgtk-3-dev
```

Build and run:
```sh
$ cd gui_gtk
$ make run
```
