摘要: To enable better encoding of the currently starting to appear high dynamic range images for use in full high dynamic range technical systems (containing an HDR display, and e.g. in an HDR grading application), we invented a method of constructing a code allocation function for allocating pixel colors having pixel luminances to codes encoding such pixel luminances, in which the step of determining the code allocation function to be applied to at least one color coordinate of the pixel to obtain a code value, comprises constructing that function out of at least two partial functions, and similar methods at a receiving side, and apparatuses, and signals for communicating between the two sites.

摘要: To enable better encoding of the currently starting to appear high dynamic range images for use in full high dynamic range technical systems (containing an HDR display, and e.g. in an HDR grading application of a HDR movie), we invented a method of encoding a high dynamic range image, comprising the steps of: —inputting pixel colors of an input high dynamic range image, wherein the pixel colors have information of a luminance and a chromaticity; —applying an inverse of a mapping function to derive a luma code (v) of the luminance of a pixel color, which mapping function is predetermined as comprising a first partial function which is defined as (I), in which rho is a tuning constant, and v is the luma code corresponding to a luminance to be encoded, and a second partial mapping defined as L=LmPγ in which Lm is a peak luminance of a predefined reference display, and gamma is a constant which is preferably equal to 2.4, —outputting a matrix of pixels having a color encoding comprising the luma codes.

摘要: An image processing apparatus comprises a receiver (201) for receiving an image signal which comprises at least an encoded image and a target display reference. The target display reference is indicative of a dynamic range of a target display for which the encoded image is encoded. A dynamic range processor (203) generates an output image by applying a dynamic range transform to the encoded image in response to the target display reference. An output (205) then outputs an output image signal comprising the output image, e.g. to a suitable display. The dynamic range transform may furthermore be performed in response to a display dynamic range indication received from a display. The invention may be used to generate an improved High Dynamic Range (HDR) image from e.g. a Low Dynamic Range (LDR) image, or vice versa.

摘要: To enable a good HDR image or video coding technology, being able to yield high dynamic range images as well as low dynamic range images, we invented a method of encoding a high dynamic range image (M_HDR), comprising the steps of: converting the high dynamic range image to an image of lower luminance dynamic range (LDR_o) by applying a) scaling the high dynamic range image to a predetermined scale of the luma axis such as [0,1], b) applying a sensitivity tone mapping which changes the brightnesses of pixel colors falling within at least a subrange comprising the darker colors in the high dynamic range image, c) applying a gamma function, and d) applying an arbitrary monotonically increasing function mapping the lumas resulting from performing the steps b and c to output lumas of the lower dynamic range image (LDR_o); and outputting in an image signal (S_im) a codification of the pixel colors of the lower luminance dynamic range image (LDR_o), and outputting in the image signal (S_im) values encoding the functional behavior of the above color conversions as metadata, or values for the inverse functions, which metadata allows to reconstruct a high dynamic range image (Rec_HDR) from the lower luminance dynamic range image (LDR_o).

摘要: An image processing apparatus comprises a receiver (201) for receiving an image signal comprising an encoded image. Another receiver (1701) receives a data signal from a display (107) where the data signal comprises a data field that comprises a display dynamic range indication of the display (107). The display dynamic range indication comprises at least one luminance specification for the display. A dynamic range processor (203) is arranged to generate an output image by applying a dynamic range transform to the encoded image in response to the display dynamic range indication. An output (205) outputs an output image signal comprising the output image to the display. The transform may furthermore be performed in response to a target display reference indicative of a dynamic range of display for which the encoded image is encoded. The invention may be used to generate an improved High Dynamic Range (HDR) image from e.g. a Low Dynamic Range (LDR) image, or vice versa.

摘要: A video encoder and decoder system includes a video decoder (220) converting in input HDR images in a luma and chrominance representation to SDR images in a luma and subsampled chrominance representation by directly applying dynamic range conversion gains in the luma and subsampled chrominance domain. An video encoder may perform the opposite operation and convert from SDR to HDR by directly applying dynamic range conversion gains in the luma and subsampled chrominance domain.
