Is Auto Exposure Bracketing (AEB) The Same As HDR?

AEB is auto exposure bracketing, an image capture technique in which more than one photo is taken of the same thing using different exposures.

HDR is High Dynamic Range. High Dynamic Range is the range of tones in an image.

So, whilst the two are not the same, you can use AEB to create HDR images. However, you can also create HDR images in a single image capture using software without AEB.
