To solve the problems of color distortion and local detail information loss caused by the histogram expansion of High Dynamic Range (HDR) image generated by single image, an imaging algorithm of high dynamic range image based on luminance partition fusion was proposed. Firstly, the luminance component of normal exposure color image was extracted, and the luminance was divided into two intervals according to luminance threshold. Then, the luminance ranges of images of two intervals were extended by the improved exponential function, so that the luminance of low-luminance area was increased, the luminance of high-luminance area was decreased, and the ranges of two areas were both expanded, increasing overall contrast of image, and preserving the color and detail information. Finally, the extended image and original normal exposure image were fused into a high dynamic image based on fuzzy logic. The proposed algorithm was analyzed from both subjective and objective aspects. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively expand the luminance range of image and keep the color and detail information of scene, and the generated image has better visual effect.

To solve the problem of detecting human hand in complex background based on traditional camera, a fast, automatic method was proposed which can accurately detect and track foreground human fingertips by using Kinect camera. This method firstly used a combined vision-based information to roughly extract the hand region, then, by taking advantage of depth information, a bare hand could be successfully segmented without connecting to background. Subsequently, the fingertips of that bare hand could be extracted by using minimum circle and curvature relationship on the hand boundary. Finally, to improve the detecting accuracy, the fingertips were optimized by using Kalman filter. The experimental results show that compared with existing method the algorithm can successfully track the 3D locations of fingertips under multiple hand poses and with much lower error rate.
