Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention relates to an apparatus and a method for producing dynamic range increase (DRI) or a high dynamic range (HDR) pictures, in which differently exposed individual images are combined by image processing to form an HDR or DRI picture. In order to also allow moving objects to be recorded more easily, and to overcome the restrictions relating to lack of mobility of a recording device, the exposure can be carried out by laser radiation containing wavelengths at different intensities.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for producing dynamic range increase (DRI) or high dynamic range (HDR) pictures, the method comprising: irradiating an object with laser radiation including radiation elements having different wavelengths that are each emitted with specific different intensities at the same time to produce differently exposed individual images; capturing radiation reflected from the object which has been exposed to the laser radiation on the basis of wavelengths t…
