Which Axis technology processes images to eliminate areas that are too dark or too light?

The technology that processes images to eliminate areas that are too dark or too light is Forensic WDR (Wide Dynamic Range). This technology is specifically designed to handle challenging lighting conditions in surveillance scenarios where there might be both very bright and very dark areas in the same scene.

Forensic WDR achieves this by capturing multiple exposures of the same scene and then processing these images to balance the exposure levels. As a result, it effectively enhances details in both the shadowed and highlighted regions, ensuring that important features are visible regardless of the lighting challenges present. This makes it particularly valuable in environments where lighting can vary greatly, such as entrances to buildings or outdoor areas at dusk.

Dynamic Range Adjustment (DRA) is a related technique but generally focuses on optimizing the image quality without the same emphasis on processing multiple exposures like Forensic WDR. High Dynamic Range (HDR) technology also aims to improve the range of light that can be captured in a single image, but it is typically used in a broader context outside of motion analysis and may not include the forensic details needed for surveillance applications.

Smart IR, on the other hand, is designed to adaptively control the intensity of infrared illumination to prevent overexposure of close subjects at night, which is a different
