Abstract
Embodiments of the invention provide a system and method for integrating HDR images in video processing in a time efficient process. In one embodiment, a method for machine vision image processing includes obtaining a plurality of images of a scene, each image having a different exposure value. The images are captured by a camera having a specific dynamic range. Pixel values of the plurality of images are compared to the dynamic range of the camera to determine, based on the comparison, a minimal number of optimal images. This minimal number of optimal images is combined, to obtain an HDR image of the scene. The scene may include an object on an inspection line.
