Balkon Year HDR

This timelapse is fast enough for you to see the plants grow. To make such a high timelapse speed possible without flickering, a new method for selecting photos was used. For one year, about 100 pictured were taken per day. This is a total of 38772. Only 1340 (3.5%) of these were used for the 53 seconds of this movie. Of all the photos of each day, the ones which are most similar to the last photo of the day before are used. At the first day, any photo from the first day is used instead. Repeating this process for all days results in a timelapse movie with as few flickering as possible while preserving order and speed of the passage of time. An additional improvement to the old version is that beginning and end of each day are now defined by removing one hour of photos (dawn) after each period of darkness. This is much more accurate than using only photos between 09:00 and 18:00 in the old version.
HDRs (High Dynamic Range) are created with a sliding window of three photos and Fattal tonemapping was used. In this new version, the sliding window was applied to all selected photos instead of seperately for each day. So more HDR are included at the transition from one day to the next.
Here are some photos of how the camera used for this timelapse looked like: http://archive.nyk.ch/BalkonCam
