High Dynamic Range (HDR) Pipeline

Overview

The logiHDR is an Ultra High Definition (UHD) HDR pipeline designed for digital processing and image quality enhancements of the raw image data from HDR sensors. The logiHDR extracts the maximum detail from high-contrast scenes, i.e. scenes with objects highlighted by a direct sunlight and objects placed in extreme shades. The IP core accepts RGB-formatted video inputs with different color depths and merges different exposures into a single HDR image, dynamically enhances the luminance range, and enhances brightness in local areas. The logiHDR can be easily combined with the logiISP Image Signal Processing (ISP) IP core in flexible and configurable video pipelines with advanced processing capabilities.

The logiHDR High Dynamic Range (HDR) Pipeline IP core is prepackaged for Xilinx Vivado IP Integrator (IPI) tool, requires no skills beyond general tools knowledge and can be used in same ways as Xilinx IP cores.
