Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) imagery captures virtually the entire range of real-world illumination levels and requires special processing if the original detail is to be properly preserved and rendered on standard displays and output media.
Without the means of handling WDR data effectively, the capabilities of advanced sensors and image capture techniques is wasted. Apical's technology ensures that this full potential is preserved at all stages of image handling and rendering.
Apical's space-variant dynamic range control engine iridix is a powerful means of handling WDR data, and provides highest-quality compression into 8-bit formats without loss of image information.
Apical's WDR Imaging pipelines, based on the iridix engine, have been designed with next-generation image sensors in mind. They provide a complete end-to-end solution for processing WDR sensor data in real time.
