감마 및 다중 포인터 니를 이용한 스마트폰 카메라의 광 다이나믹 영역 확장 = Illuminance Dynamic Range Expansion using Gamma & Multi-Point Knee for Smart Phone Camera

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The narrow dynamic range of most smart phone cameras is severely limited. It usually is narrower than the dynamic range of most scenes. So we proposes a illuminance dynamic range expansion using multi-point knee for smart phone camera. Such as logarithmic functions the proposed method compress the image sensor output signal. Additionally, the proposed method was merged into the gamma that is essential circuit for any cameras. To justifying multi-point knee effectiveness, we configure the control and quality evaluation system for smart phone camera module. Experimental results show that the lost information by cut off and saturated affectively reconstructed in darker and in brighter areas. Finally this methods have advantage to implement without any changing hardware for conventional smart phones.
