“…One software method that requires low level access to the sensor is discussed in (Bandoh et al, 2010). Other methods, such as the ones discussed in (Schulz et al, 2007;Jinno and Okuda, 2012;Guarnieri et al, 2011;Xinqiao and Gamal, 2003;Mertens et al, 2007;Lu et al, 2009;Castro et al, 2011;Wang et al, 2011), are software only, even though they may require the knowledge of different low level parameters of the sensors. All the software techniques are based on the combination of multiple frames to obtain a final image with extended dynamic range.…”
