Abstract
The ability of High Dynamic Range (HDR) imaging to capture the full range of lighting in a scene has prompted an increase in its use for Cultural Heritage (CH) applications. Photogrammetric techniques allow the semi-automatic production of three-dimensional (3D) models from a sequence of images. Current photogrammetric methods are not always effective in reconstructing images under harsh lighting conditions, as significant geometric details may not have been captured accurately within under- and over-exposed regions of the image. HDR imaging offers the possibility to overcome this limitation, however the HDR images need to be tone-mapped before they can be used within existing photogrammetric algorithms. In this paper we evaluate four different HDR tone-mapping operators (TMOs) that have been used to convert raw HDR images into a format suitable for state-of-the-art algorithms, and in particular keypoint detection techniques. The evaluation criteria used are the number of keypoints, the number of valid matches achieved and the repeatability rate. The comparison considers two local and two global TMOs. HDR data from four CH sites were used: Kaisariani Monastery (Greece), Asinou Church (Cyprus), Château des Baux (France) and Buonconsiglio Castle (Italy).
