摘要:
Because we needed a new improved and very different color encoding space for being able to faithfully encode the presently emerging high dynamic range video for good quality rendering on emerging HDR displays such as the SIM2 display, we present around that new color space various new decoders which allow simplified processing, in particular the handling of all achromatic direction (i.e. luminance) optimization separate from the chromatic processing, and increased quality of the reconstructed HDR images. This is realized by a video decoder (350) having an input (358) for receiving a video signal (S_im) transmitted over a video transmission system or received on a video storage product, in which pixel colors are encoded with an achromatic luma (Y') coordinate and two chromaticity coordinates (u'',v''), the video decoder comprising a scaling unit (356) arranged to transform the chromaticity colors into a luminance-dependent chrominance color representation, by scaling with the achromatic luma.

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=LmP65 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.
