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.
