Zusammenfassung:A method and apparatus are provided for enhancing the local dynamic range of an image using the contents of exposure bracketed image set without affecting overall dynamic range of the image. The method allows a user to select at least one region of a reference image for enhancement after receiving the reference image from the user. Further the method comprises segmenting the reference image by using exposure weights, and selects an enhancement support image from an exposure bracketed image set. Furthermore the method determines weight maps of reference and enhancement support images and generates dynamic range enhanced reference image using determined weight maps.
