High Dynamic Range Imaging ( HDRI or just HDR ) is a technique which was developed to produce high dynamic range images from the photographs taken at different exposures of light. In comparison with normal digital imaging techniques HDR imaging techniques can produce a wider range of luminescence between dark and light. The main intention of HDR is to differentiate the wide range of intensity levels found in real scenes ranging from direct sunlight to deepest shadows.
