Abstract
Extended Exposure Fusion (EEF) is a high dynamic range imaging 
technique. It was recently proposed as an improvement of an earlier 
technique called Exposure Fusion (EF), itself widely used thanks to its 
very good results. But EF has two well-known artifacts: an out-of-range 
artifact and a low-frequency halo. The extended version solves them, and 
delivers fused results with enhanced contrast everywhere in the image. 
We give in this paper a precise description, analysis and implementation 
of the extended exposure fusion. We notably verify that the artifacts 
are removed and that the local contrast is improved compared to the 
original exposure fusion.
