Abstract
A method is provided for reconstructing a high dynamic range (HDR) video from a low dynamic range (LDR) video. The LDR video is captured with dynamic exposure values by a regular camera device to store as an LDR video file. An exposure setting sequence and an LDR video frame sequence are retrieved from the LDR video file, where the exposure setting sequence corresponds to the LDR video frame sequence. The LDR video frame sequence is aligned to generate a compensated frame sequence to merge with the LDR video frame sequence, so as to generate an HDR frame sequence and reconstruct the HDR video.
