11 Introduction
To increase the dynamic range of traditional digital cameras, several images taken with different
exposure values of the same scenery can be captured and later combined by software
to span a greater dynamic range.
This software allows to capture several such hdr-sequences (a hdr-sequence being a set of
images later forming a single hdr image) automatically at specified time intervals. For example
the application can be configured to capture hdr-sequences from 12. june 2007 12:00 until
13. june 2007 13:00 at a 15 minute time interval. Additionally, the application can be set
to take a predefined number of images per hdr-sequence, or to determine automatically the
number of required images by analyzing each captured image for under or overexposure and
dynamically deciding whether another image needs to be captured. Captured images are
always directly transferred to the pc, so the maximum number of hdr-sequences which can
be taken in this way is only limited by the amount of free diskspace on the pc and by the
battery of the camera (if no external power source is used for that purpose).
