High Dynamic Range (HDR) Imaging — Dev Tier

(5 scenes)

Blind evaluation tier — no ground truth available.

What you get

Measurements (y), ideal forward operator (H), and spec ranges only.

How to use

Apply your pipeline from the Public tier. Use consistency as self-check.

What to submit

Reconstructed signals and corrected spec. Scored server-side.
