For obtaining an good yet easy to use luminance dynamic range conversion, we describe an HDR video decoder (250) comprising an image color processing apparatus (200) arranged to transform an input color (Y'UV_LDR) of a pixel of an input image (Im_in), which input image has a first luminance dynamic range (DR_1), into a red, green and blue color component output color (R'o, G'o, B'o) of a pixel of an output image (Im_res; REC_HDR), which output image has a second luminance dynamic range (DR_2), whereby the peak luminance of the first dynamic range is at least 2 times lower than the peak luminance of the second dynamic range or vice versa, comprising a coarse mapping unit (202; 552) arranged to apply a three-segment brightness re-grading curve which consists of a linear segment for a dark sub-range (SR_d) of the range of lumas of the input image colors comprising the darkest input luma values, which is determined by a slope variable (InvBet), a second linear segment for the lightest input luma values in a bright sub-range (SR_br), which is controlled by a second slope variable (InvAlph), and a parabolic segment in between the two linear segment.

A method for coding an HDR picture is disclosed that comprises: - mapping the HDR picture to obtain a SDR picture; - determining color correcting parameters; - color correcting said SDR picture responsive to said color correcting parameters; and - encoding the color corrected SDR picture in a stream. In the method, determining color correcting parameters comprises: - determining an intermediate SDR picture so that at least one color appearance value is preserved between said HDR picture and said intermediate SDR picture; - determining the color correcting parameters from said intermediate SDR picture and from said SDR picture.

The ratio between coding quality on the one hand and coding rate on the other hand is increased. To this end, a global predictor and a local predictor are used in combination. The global predictor derives a global tone-mapping function based on a statistical analysis of pairs of values of co-located samples in the first tone-mapped version and the second version of the picture, and applies the global tone-mapping function onto the first tone-mapped version of the picture. The local predictor locally derives a locally varying tone-mapping function based on a statistical analysis of values of co-located samples in the second version of the picture and the globally predicted reference picture in units of sub-portions into which the globally predicted reference picture and the second version of the picture are partitioned, and applies the locally varying tone-mapping function onto the globally predicted reference picture.

The present disclosure generally relates to a method and device for decoding an HDR picture from a bitstream representing a LDR picture and an illumination picture. The method comprising: - obtaining a decoded version of the HDR picture by multiplying the sample values of a decoded version of the LDR picture by the sample values of the decoded version of the illumination picture; and - obtaining a color value expressed in an output color space for each sample value of the decoded version of the HDR picture, the method is characterized in that it further comprises: - obtaining a color value expressed in the output color space for each sample value of a decoded version of the LDR picture just before multiplying said color values by the sample values of the decoded version of the illumination picture.

A method for encoding and decoding an image block, an encoder, and a decoder are provided. The method for encoding an image block comprises: determining a local dynamic range of the block; adaptively precision-extending pixel values of the block based on the local dynamic range of the block; and encoding the block with an adaptively extended precision. The method for decoding an image block comprises: determining a minimum pixel value of the block and an indicating value for indicating a precision extension factor according to precision extension information; decoding the block according to the indicating value; and de-extending precision of the decoded block based on the minimum pixel value of the block and the precision extension factor. The precision of the intermediate calculations may be improved without increasing an original intermediate bit depth used in intermediate calculations.

For meeting the future demand of high quality yet economically feasible high dynamic range video program creation, the inventor proposes a method of in a video camera (201) setting a video camera capturing mode of specifying output pixel luminances in one or more graded versions of output video sequences of images, comprising: - an operator of the video camera moving to at least two positions (Pos1, Pos2) in a scene which have a different illumination compared to each other, and capturing at least one high dynamic range image (o_ImHDR) for each of those at least two positions of the scene; - a color composition director analyzing for each of the at least two positions the captured at least one high dynamic range image to determine a region of maximum brightness, and determining at least one of an iris setting, a shutter time, and an analog gain setting for the camera; - capturing for each position of one of the at least two positions (Pos1, Pos2) a respective master capturing (RW) using the at least one of an iris setting, a shutter time setting, and an analog gain setting for the camera, and keeping iris, shutter time and analog gain settings constant for later capturing in at least the corresponding position; - determining at least a respective first graded image (ODR) for the respective master capturing, which consists of mapping by a respective luminance allocation function (FL_M) of digital numbers of the master capturing to nit values of the first graded image (ODR), by the color composition director establishing a shape of such luminance allocation function; and - storing the respective luminance allocation functions (Fs1, Fs2) for the at least two positions, or parameters uniquely defining these functions, in respective memory locations (221, 222) of the camera.
