摘要:
An emulator yields modified image data that predicts the appearance of image content on a target display. The emulator generates the modified image data based in part on the image content. The emulator may perform a transformation in which one or more parameters representative of features such as black level and/or white level of the target display are functions of image statistics for the image content.

Image data is encoded for distribution in a lower bit-depth format. The image data has a range that is less than a maximum range and is mapped to the lower bit depth format using a mapping such that a ratio of a range of the lower bit depth representation to a maximum range of the lower bit depth representation is greater than a ratio of the range of the image data to a maximum range of the image data. Metadata characterizing the mapping is associated with lower bit depth representation. The metadata may be used downstream in combination with local dimming capabilities of a display to reverse the mapping so that tonal detail is better reproduced.

摘要:
Apparatus and methods are provided to map out-of-gamut points to in-gamut points. Embodiments transform image data for presentation on a display or medium having a gamut different from that of the image data. Different mapping algorithms may be applied based in part on luminance of the points being mapped. Embodiments apply a reduced dataset representing a gamut boundary. Irregular gamuts may be accommodated
摘要:
Methods for transmitting additional information together with image data involve replacing pixel values to take in-gamut points to out-of-gamut points. The additional information may constitute metadata describing the image data and/or useful for controlling display and/or processing of the image data; watermark information; or other information. In some embodiments the image data is restored to its original form after extraction of the additional information.

Methods and apparatus are provided for backlighting a dual modulation display device. Each type of light source comprises a multi-primary light source having two or more primary color light emitters having different primary color characteristics from corresponding primary color emitters of other types of light source. Methods may comprise receiving illumination target values for a plurality of locations on the front modulator corresponding to the plurality of light sources, each of the locations on the front modulator configured to be illuminated by two or more of the plurality of light sources, determining primary color drive values source based on the primary color characteristics for that primary color and the illumination target value for the location corresponding to that light source, and driving the primary color light emitters or each type of light source based on the primary color drive values.
