We propose DOME-HDR, a dual-output multi-exposure HDR reconstruction framework that jointly produces a perceptually balanced SDR image and a consistent HDR image via gain map inverse tone mapping. Given three bracketed LDR inputs, DOME-HDR first synthesizes a base SDR using a LoRA-adapted latent diffusion model.
The paper presents a framework for converting standard dynamic range (SDR) videos into high dynamic range (HDR) videos using large-scale generative video models. It introduces a Multi-Exposure Video Model (MEVM) that predicts exposure-bracketed linear SDR sequences from a single nonlinear SDR input, and a Video Merging Model (VMM) that fuses these predictions into a high-quality HDR sequence while preserving detail in shadows and highlights. Experiments, qualitative evaluation, and a user study demonstrate robust HDR conversion for casual consumer footage and iconic films, and the approach can be integrated into existing SDR generative video pipelines.
