haader

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:

# apt-get install build-essential

Build:

$ cd cli
$ make

Run:

$ cd cli
$ ./haader <image1.jpg> <image2.jpg> <image3.jpg> ...

GTK Interface

Needs GTK+3.0 and the corresponding development packages:

# apt-get install build-essential libgtk-3-0 libgtk-3-dev

Build and run:

$ cd gui_gtk
$ make run
