High Dynamic Range Video: Concepts, Technologies and Applications gives an introduction to a full range of topics within the end-to-end HDR video pipeline, covering the issues around capturing HDR and stereo HDR video, such as ghosting and use of legacy LDR systems, how HDR video can be manipulated, including real-time mixing, the very latest designs for HDR displays, HDR video on mobile devices, and the applications of HDR video.

With this book, the reader will gain an overview of the current state-of-the art of HDR video, learn the potential of HDR video to provide a step change to a wide range of imaging applications, and attain the knowledge needed to introduce HDR video in their own applications.

Part 2: Manipulate 5. HDR Video Metrics 6. Practical Backwards Compatible High Dynamic Range Compression 7. Real-Time HDR Video Processing and Compression Using an FPGA 8. Live HDR Video Broadcast Production

Part 3: Display 9. HDR Video on Small Screen Devices 10. Gaze-Dependent Tone Mapping for HDR Video

Part 4: Applications and Uptake 11. Improving Tracking Accuracy Using Illumination Neutralization and High Dynamic Range Imaging 12. Factors Influencing the Widespread Uptake of HDR Video

University and industry researchers, graduate and undergraduate students working in the field of High Dynamic Range (HDR) Video; Project and program managers making technological decisions about HDR video applications and services.

Alan Chalmers is Professor of Visualisation and Royal Society Industrial Fellow at University of Warwick and co-founder of the spinout company TrueDR Ltd. Previously he was a founder and CEO of the spinout company goHDR Ltd. He has published over 230 papers in journals and international conferences on high-fidelity virtual environments and HDR imaging and successfully supervised 37 PhD students. He is Honorary President of Afrigraph, a Fellow of the ERA Foundation, and formerly Vice President of ACM SIGGRAPH. Together with SpheronVR, he was instrumental in the development of the world’s first HDR video camera, which was completed in July 2009. From 2011-2015 he was Chair of the EU COST Action IC1005 “ HDRi: The digital capture, storage, transmission and display of real-world lighting” [ic1005]. This co-ordinated research and development in HDR across 25 EU countries and 44 institutions. In addition, Chalmers is a UK representative on IST/37 considering HDR standards within MPEG.
Patrizio Campisi received the Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from Roma Tre University, Rome, Italy, where he is Full Professor at the Section of Applied Electronics, Dept. of Engineering. His research interests are in the area of secure multimedia communications and biometrics. Specifically, he has been working on secure biometric recognition, digital watermarking, image deconvolution, image analysis, stereo image and video processing, blind equalization of data signals, and secure communications. He has been the General Chair of the seventh IEEE Workshop on Information Forensics and Security”, WIFS 2015, November 2015, Rome, Italy, and of the 12th ACM Workshop on Multimedia and Security, September 2010, Italy. He has been technical co-Chair of the 1st ACM Workshop on Information Hiding and Multimedia Security, June 2013,France and of the ”Fourth IEEE Workshop on Information Forensics and Security”, WIFS 2012, December 2012, Spain.

He is the editor of the book ”Security and Pr
