Our technique relies on the assumption that the HDR information is static in the video footage. This assumption can be valid in many scenarios where moving subjects are the main focus of the footage and do not have to interact with moving light sources or highly reflective objects. Another valid scenario is teleconferencing via webcams, where the background is typically over-exposed, not allowing the users to perceive correctly the environment where the communication is happening.Categories and Subject Descriptors (according to ACM CCS): I.4.1 [Image Processing and Computer Vision]: Enhancement-Filtering I.3.3 [Computer Graphics]: Picture/Image Generation-Bitmap and framebuffer operations
