AB - Simulation of the imaging pipeline is an important tool for the design and evaluation of imaging systems. One of the most important requirements for an accurate simulation tool is the availability of high quality source scenes. The dynamic range of images depends on multiple elements in the imaging pipeline including the sensor, digital signal processor, display device, etc. High dynamic range (HDR) scene spectral information is critical for an accurate analysis of the effect of these elements on the dynamic range of the displayed image. Also, typical digital imaging sensors are sensitive well beyond the visible range of wavelengths. Spectral information with support across the sensitivity range of the imaging sensor is required for the analysis and design of imaging pipeline elements that are affected by IR energy. Although HDR scene data information with visible and infrared content are available from remote sensing resources, there are scarcity of such imagery representing more conventional everyday scenes. In this paper, we address both these issues and present a method to generate a database of HDR images that represent radiance fields in the visible and near-IR range of the spectrum. The proposed method only uses conventional consumer-grade equipment and is very cost-effective.
