Abstract
An evaluation of a no-reference objective quality metric to accurately measure and compare the increased dynamic range capability of modern image capture systems is presented. The use of commercial off-the-shelf equipment and software allows manufacturers and users to produce results that are both transparent and comparable. The no-reference metric is fundamentally based on the evaluation of noise, using a single frame of a 21 density step high dynamic range (HDR) test chart as an input to determine the ratio of the maximum unclipped ...
