More than Meets the Eye: Gigapixel Resolution High Dynamic Range  
Imaging Workflow & Techniques, 2010-11-13
Jay Hirschfeld of Cineflock, LLC talks at the first Fine International  
Conference on Gigapixel Imaging for Science, November 11-13 2010 at  
Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA.

While excellent exposure across an entire image can be achieved in  
gigapixel-resolution imaging simply by 'averaging' the exposure ranges  
across a scene, using high dynamic range (HDR) imaging techniques can  
dramatically improve exposure across the entire field of view,  
boosting highlight, midtone, and shadow saturation. Utilizing tone  
mapping techniques allows for increased tonality and apparent  
definition across an image, often yielding hyperrealistic results.  
This workshop will demonstrate the benefits and detriments of various  
methods for obtaining consistent, accurate HDR gigapixel images.
Objectives: The workshop seeks to demonstrate how to use high dynamic  
range imaging as an observational tool that ultimately allows for  
clearer image results as well as understanding the drawbacks and  
utility in using such techniques.
