Apr 28, 2019 at 3:25 comment added Michael C All HDR methods produce an image that is LDR compared to the scene being imaged. That's the whole point of High Dynamic Range Imaging which has been around since at least 1850: to render a scene with wider dynamic range than the conventional LDR methods available at the time can display.

Mar 19, 2016 at 0:26 comment added Itai No, it does not have to be floating point but any HDR image exceeds the range which can be stored in a normal (LDR) image file which is why it must be tone-mapped. Exposure-Fusion does not produce an HDR but an LDR image.
Mar 18, 2016 at 22:47 comment added Michael C HDR is an acronym for High Dynamic Range. Defining HDR Imaging as only the technique that uses 32-bit floating point files that must be tonemapped is a very narrow definition of HDR Imaging. Exposure Fusion is just as much an HDR Imaging technique as tone-mapping a 32-bit floating point file is. So is the dodging and burning Ansel Adams and others did in the early/mid 20th century. So is combining parts of two differently exposed images of seascapes that Gustave LeGray did in the 1850s.
Mar 18, 2016 at 22:42 comment added Michael C Exposure Fusion is just one form of HDR. You don't have to create a 32-bit floating point file to do HDR, that's just one way among many of doing it.
