High dynamic range (HDR) videos provide a more visually realistic experience than the standard low dynamic range (LDR) videos. Despite having significant progress in HDR imaging, it is still a challenging task to capture high-quality HDR video with a conventional off-the-shelf camera. Existing approaches rely entirely on using dense optical flow between the neighboring LDR sequences to reconstruct an HDR frame. However, they lead to inconsistencies in color and exposure over time when appliedโฆย
