1. A system for reconstructing and displaying a higher dynamic range image, the system comprising: an image processor comprising image processing hardware, software stored on a non transitory computer readable medium and executable by a data processor, or a combination thereof, configured to: generate a scaling image comprising information relating to high spatial frequency components of a full resolution, lower dynamic range (FRLDR) representation of an image; generate an upsampled image from a lower resolution, higher dynamic range (LRHDR) representation of the image, the LRHDR representation having a lower resolution and a higher dynamic range than the FRLDR representation; and, combine the scaling image and the upsampled image to obtain a reconstructed higher dynamic range image; and, an image-displaying device configured to display the reconstructed higher dynamic range image.
