Abstract(in English) The dynamic range of electronic imaging is orders of magnitudes smaller than that of human vision. To obtain images of high-contrast scenes, high dynamic range (HDR) reconstruction from multiple exposure images is necessary. In this paper, we propose an unsupervised learning framework for HDR reconstruction from only two differently exposed images. Our unsupervised learning framework converts existing HDR images to differently conditioned low dynamic range (LDR) images via camera pipelines and enables the learning of HDR reconstruction. We also propose an alignment module to handle changes in images that are not well-aligned because of different timings. To train our framework, we integrated and preprocessed existing HDR datasets to create a large dataset. We created a test dataset that consisted of a set of differently exposed LDR images of static scenes and their ground truth HDR images. We also created a set of LDR images for the dynamic scenes. Experiments demonstrated that our method outperformed the previous methods in quantitative and qualitative evaluations.
