Abstract: The invention relates to a method for carrying out a dynamic range compression in traffic photography for representation having greater detail fidelity in images created in connection with traffic monitoring installations. The problem addressed by the invention is that of finding a possibility for achieving, in the case of digitally obtained images in traffic photography, whilst precluding the different subjective influences on the part of the processing personnel, a representation of the dark regions with greater detail fidelity, without the information of the brighter regions being lost in the process. According to the invention, this problem is solved by means of a method for carrying out a specific dynamic range compression in traffic photography.
