Rendering High Dynamic Range Images on the Web

Creating a digital imaging program to display high-contrast, high-resolution images on low dynamic r

Description

In this article, we use MATLAB, Image Processing Toolbox, and MATLAB Builder JA to create HDR Explorer, a Web-based experimental test platform that can be used to quickly evaluate how different HDR algorithms render LDR images. We describe how to translate the mathematical expression of an algorithm into a MATLAB program and then show how to turn that program into a Web application.

[mad as hell]

I don't understand why the application could not have been created to run on the client - i.e. sans server hosting. Classic hijacking of a simple and great idea and turning it into something useless - unless you run apache servers at home, that is.
