makeHDR

Create an HDR-image (HDR-format) from an image-sequence.

This module needs an HDR-list-file (config-var HDR_LIST) generated by module findGroups. Also the module alignImages must run before makeHDR.

HDR_PREFIX

Prefix for generated images. Defaults to hdr_.

IMG_DIR

Working directory. This module expects it's input files in this directory and creates it's output files in this directory.

IMG_DEPTH

Color depth of the generated image (8 or 16). This should match the color-depth of the input-files (this is no limitation in normal usage scenarios).

This module creates a real HDR image file from an image-sequence. You cannot view this file directly, use the pfsview utility from the pfstools-package to explore the luminance-values of the image. Typically, the files created by this module are tone-mapped back to 8 or 16 bit LDR images with one of the tone-mapping algorithms provided by the pfstmo-package. The modules named tmXXX encapsulate the respective algorithm XXX.
