POC conducted to identify the most effective image processing APIs for HDR and advanced visual editing using AI-powered OCR.
In a step towards enhancing image processing capabilities within our platform, we developed a Proof of Concept (POC) focused on evaluating a broad set of image editing APIs and libraries. The initiative aimed to assess both open-source and cloud-based solutions to identify tools capable of high-quality image transformations, particularly for HDR (High Dynamic Range) processing.
Here are the challenges we encountered during the application’s development phase
Creating HDR images from multiple exposure brackets required a reliable method to blend them seamlessly while preserving clarity and dynamic range. Existing tools lacked consistency across image types.
Tasks such as exposure correction, window masking, sky replacement, and object removal often produced varying results depending on the API or library used, impacting the final image quality.
Many APIs posed challenges in integration, with some lacking proper documentation or not aligning well with the existing tech stack (React.js, Node.js, Express.js).
Operational efficiency and scalability were essential for future product growth. Several tools lacked the performance or pricing structure to support scale without compromising speed or cost.
Before the POC, there was no standardized way to compare visual output quality or integration efficiency across tools, making confident selection difficult.
DEVtrust implemented several innovative solutions to address these challenges
Evaluated open-source and commercial tools (OpenCV, Adobe SDKs, Google Vision, etc.) across HDR, masking, and editing tasks.
Built a reliable HDR blending workflow using OpenCV with tuned exposure fusion.
Developed Node.js middleware for seamless API testing and compatibility with our React.js frontend.
Assessed tools on speed, cost, and load handling to shortlist scalable options.
Created evaluation criteria for image quality, processing accuracy, integration ease, and reliability.
The POC led to clear insights into the most effective tools for AI-powered image processing. By combining rigorous evaluation with practical testing, we significantly improved both visual quality and integration efficiency across workflows.
AI-HDR offers an intuitive, easy-to-navigate interface that simplifies complex image processing tasks like HDR blending and object removal no advanced technical skills required.
