    摘要: Clusters of pixels are defined for use in image compression and decompression. The image information used to define the clusters may include pixel values at predetermined positions relative to a pixel or related motion vectors, gradients, texture etc. During compression of images the image information relative to pixels is examined to determine the cluster to which it belongs. Thus pixels can be classified according to the cluster for their image information. In an embodiment the definitions of the clusters are selected dynamically, dependent on image content. For each cluster a control parameter set is computed for a post-processing operation, such as filter coefficients for filtering or statistical data for locally generating texture. The control parameter set is selected dependent on the image content so that, when the post-processing operation is applied to the image after decompression it will improve image quality for the pixels that are classified as belonging to the cluster. The compressed image and the control parameter sets are transmitted to a decompression apparatus. Upon decompression, the image information that represents the decompressed image is examined to classify pixels according to the clusters and the different control parameter sets for the selected clusters are used to control post-processing at the locations of the pixels.

    摘要: An approach is provided for generating a high dynamic range image from a low dynamic range image. The generation is performed using a mapping relating input data in the form of input sets of image spatial positions and a combination of color coordinates of low dynamic range pixel values associated with the image spatial positions to output data in the form of high dynamic range pixel values. The mapping is generated from a reference low dynamic range image and a corresponding reference high dynamic range image. Thus, a mapping from the low dynamic range image to a high dynamic range image is generated on the basis of corresponding reference images. The approach may be used for prediction of high dynamic range images from low dynamic range images in an encoder and decoder. A residual image may be generated and used to provide improved high dynamic range image quality.

    摘要: In a method for encoding and an encoder for a 3D video signal, centre view frames, a depth map for centre view frames and an occlusion data frame are encoded. On the basis of the depth map for the centre view frame a distinction is made between functional and non-functional data in an occlusion data frame. This allows a strong reduction in bits needed for the encoded occlusion data frame. In the decoder a combined data stream is made of functional data in the encoded occlusion data frames and the centre view frames. Preferably the centre view frames are used as reference frames in encoding the occlusion data frames.
