Creates and saves an HDR image, in EXR format, from a collection of images. If the input images are 16-bit linear TIFFs (as created by dcraw), use the "linear" option. Nonlinear image files are merged using a modified version of: Paul Debevec and Jitendra Malik. "Recovering High Dynamic Range Radiance Maps from Photographs". Proceedings of the 24th annual conference on computer graphics and interactive techniques. Pages 369-378. 1997. Linear TIFFs are merged using a different (but related) algorithm, for which the "stops", "lambda" and "epsilon" arguments are ignored. The stops parameter is self-explanatory. Lambda controls the smoothness of the response curves which are recovered. This term is scaled in proportion to the number of pixels which are used in determining these response curves and exposure settings (this is the "pixels" parameter), so when using more pixels, it may be advisable to decrease lambda. Finally, epsilon is the termination threshold. If you're getting unsatisfactory results, and suspect that the reason for this is that a poor-quality solution is being found, then decreasing epsilon (or increasing the number of pixels) might help. Conversely, if you are satisfied with the solution, but want the program to run more quickly, then increasing epsilon (or decreasing the number of pixels) could be a good idea. One warning: if epsilon is too small, then the solution may never converge, and you'll need to abort this program.
