    Abstract: An encoder receives a target image in a standard dynamic range and a guide image in a high dynamic range, wherein both the target image and the guide image represent the same scene. A color transient improvement (CTI) filter is selected to predict a chroma component of a decoded version of the target image based on both the luma and chroma components of the target image and the guide image. The filtering coefficients for the CTI filter are computed by minimizing an error measurement (e.g., MSE) between pixel values of the decoded image and the guide image. The computed set of filtering coefficients is signaled to a receiver (e.g., as metadata). A decoder receives the coded image and the metadata, and applies the same CTI filter to the decoded image to generate an output image.

    Abstract: Novel methods and systems for decoding and displaying enhanced dynamic range (EDR) video signals are disclosed. To accommodate legacy digital media players with constrained computational resources, compositing and display management (DM) operations are moved from a digital media player to its attached EDR display. On a video receiver, base and enhancement video layers are decoded and multiplexed together with overlay graphics into an interleaved stream. The video and graphics signals are all converted to a common format which allows metadata to be embedded in the interleaved signal as part of the least significant bits in the chroma channels. On the display, the video and the graphics are de-interleaved. After compositing and display management operations guided by the received metadata, the received graphics data are blended with the output of the DM process and the final video output is displayed on the display's panel.

    Abstract: In an embodiment, a control map of false contour filtering is generated for a predicted image. The predicted image is predicted from a low dynamic range image mapped from the wide dynamic range image. Based at least in part on the control map of false contour filtering and the predicted image, one or more filter parameters for a sparse finite-impulse-response (FIR) filter are determined. The sparse FIR filter is applied to filter pixel values in a portion of the predicted image based at least in part on the control map of false contour filtering. The control map of false contour filtering is encoded into a part of a multi-layer video signal that includes the low dynamic range image.

    Abstract: A sequence of visual dynamic range (VDR) images may be encoded using a standard dynamic range (SDR) base layer and one or more enhancement layers. A prediction image is generated by using piecewise cross-color channel prediction (PCCC), wherein a color channel in the SDR input may be segmented into two or more color channel segments and each segment is assigned its own cross-color channel predictor to derive a predicted output VDR image. PCCC prediction models may include first order, second order, or higher order parameters. Using a minimum mean-square error criterion, a closed form solution is presented for the prediction parameters for a second-order PCCC model. Algorithms for segmenting the color channels into multiple color channel segments are also presented.
