Abstract
An apparatus and method for generating a High Dynamic Range (HDR) image from which a ghost blur is removed based on a multi-exposure fusion. The apparatus may include an HDR weight map calculation unit to calculate an HDR weight map for multiple exposure frames that are received, a ghost probability calculation unit to calculate a ghost probability for each image by verifying a ghost blur for the multiple exposure frames, an HDR weight map updating unit to update the calculated HDR weight map based on the calculated ghost probability, and a multi-scale blending unit to generate an HDR image by reflecting the updated HDR weight map to the multiple exposure frames.
