Abstract: A computer-vision pipeline is organized as a closed loop of a sensor-processing phase, an image-processing phase, and an object-detection phase, each comprising a respective phase processor coupled to a master processor. The sensor-processing phase creates multiple exposure images, and derives multi-exposure multi-scale zonal illumination-distributions, to be processed independently in the image-processing phase. In a first implementation of the object-detection phase, extracted exposure-specific features are pooled prior to overall object detection. In a second implementation, exposure-specific objects, detected from the exposure-specific features, are fused to produce the sought objects of a scene under consideration. The two implementations enable detecting fine details of a scene under diverse illumination conditions. The master processor performs loss-function computations to derive updated training parameters of the processing phases. Several experiments applying a core method of operating the computer-vision pipelines, and variations thereof, ascertain performance gain under challenging illumination conditions.

Abstract: Departing from conventional HIDR image fusion approach, a learned task-driven fusion in the feature domain is disclosed. Instead of using a single companded image, the disclosed method exploits semantic features from all exposures learned in an end-to-end fashion with supervision from downstream detection losses. The method outperforms all tested conventional HDR exposure fusion and auto-exposure methods in challenging automotive HIDR scenarios.
