OpenEXR is a high dynamic-range (HDR) image file format developed by
|
|
Industrial Light & Magic for use in computer imaging applications.
|
|
|
|
OpenEXR is used by ILM on all motion pictures currently in production.
|
|
The first movies to employ OpenEXR were Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone,
|
|
Men in Black II, Gangs of New York, and Signs. Since then, OpenEXR has become
|
|
ILM's main image file format.
|
|
|
|
OpenEXR's features include:
|
|
* Higher dynamic range and color precision than existing 8- and 10-bit
|
|
image file formats.
|
|
* Support for 16-bit floating-point, 32-bit floating-point, and 32-bit
|
|
integer pixels. The 16-bit floating-point format, called "half", is compatible
|
|
with the half data type in NVIDIA's Cg graphics language and is supported
|
|
natively on their new GeForce FX and Quadro FX 3D graphics solutions.
|
|
* Multiple lossless image compression algorithms. Some of the included codecs
|
|
can achieve 2:1 lossless compression ratios on images with film grain.
|
|
* Extensibility. New compression codecs and image types can easily be added
|
|
by extending the C++ classes included in the OpenEXR software distribution.
|
|
New image attributes (strings, vectors, integers, etc.) can be added to
|
|
OpenEXR image headers without affecting backward compatibility with existing
|
|
OpenEXR applications.
