摘要: Input minimal noise levels of are computed over input codeword bins based on image content in input images of an input bit depth. The minimal noise levels are adjusted to generate approximated minimal noise levels of a higher bit depth. The approximated minimal noise levels are used to generate per-bin bit depths over the input codeword bins. The input codeword bins are classified into first codeword bins that have relatively high risks of banding artifacts and some other input codeword bins that have relatively low or zero risks of banding artifacts based on the per-bin bit depths. Portions of bit depths from the other input codeword bins are moved to the first input codeword bins to generate modified per-bin bit depths. A forward reshaping function constructed from the modified per-bin bit depths is used to reshape the input images into reshaped images used to generate output images.

摘要: In a method to code and transmit scalable HDR video signals, HDR signals are processed and encoded in the IPT-PQ color space to generate a base layer at reduced spatial resolution and/or dynamic range, and an enhancement layer with a residual signal. A signal reshaping block before the base layer encoder allows for improved coding of HDR signals using a reduced bit depth. A decoder can use a BL decoder and backward reshaping to generate a decoded BL HDR signal at a reduced dynamic range and/or spatial resolution, or it can combine the decoded BL HDR signal and the EL stream to generate a decoded HDR signal at full dynamic range and full resolution.

摘要: In a method to reconstruct a high dynamic range video signal, a decoder receives parameters in the input bitstream to generate a prediction function. Using the prediction function, it generates a first set of nodes for a first prediction lookup table, wherein each node is characterized by an input node value and an output node value.Then, it modifies the output node values of one or more of the first set of nodes to generate a second set of nodes for a second prediction lookup table, and generates output prediction values using the second lookup table. Low-complexity methods to modify the output node value of a current node in the first set of nodes based on computing modified slopes between the current node and nodes surrounding the current node are presented.

摘要: A content-adaptive quantizer processor receives an input image with an input bit depth. A noise-mask generation process is applied to the input image to generate a noise mask image which characterizes each pixel in the input image in terms of its perceptual relevance in masking quantization noise. A noise mask histogram is generated based on the input image and the noise mask image. A masking-noise level to bit-depth function is applied to the noise mask histogram to generate minimal bit depth values for each bin in the noise mask histogram. A codeword mapping function is generated based on the input bit depth, a target bit depth, and the minimal bit depth values. The codeword mapping function is applied to the input image to generate an output image in the target bit depth.

摘要: A standard dynamic range (SDR) image is received. Composer metadata of the first level through the N-th level is generated. Composer metadata of the j-th level is generated based on the composer metadata of the first level through (j−1)-th level. The composer metadata of the first level through the composer metadata of the j-th level is to be used for mapping the SDR image to the j-th target image specifically optimized for the j-th reference target display. The SDR image is encoded with the composer metadata of the first level through the k-th level in an output SDR video signal, where 1

摘要: Pixel data of a video sequence with enhanced dynamic range (EDR) are predicted based on pixel data of a corresponding video sequence with standard dynamic range (SDR) and an inter-layer predictor. Under a highlights clipping constrain, conventional SDR to EDR prediction is adjusted as follows: a) given a highlights threshold, the SDR to EDR predictor is adjusted to output a fixed output value for all input SDR pixel values larger than the highlights threshold, and b) given a dark-regions threshold, the residual values between the input EDR signal and its predicted value are set to zero for all input SDR pixel values lower than the dark-regions threshold. Example processes to determine the highlights and dark-regions thresholds and whether highlights clipping is occurring are provided.

摘要: An intermediate bitstream generated by a first-stage transcoding system from an initial transmission package is received. The intermediate bitstream comprises base layer (BL) and enhancement layer (EL) signals. The combination of the BL and EL signals of the intermediate bitstream represents compressed wide dynamic range images. The BL signal of the intermediate bitstream alone represents compressed standard dynamic range images. A targeted transmission package is generated based on the intermediate bitstream. The targeted transmission package comprises BL and EL signals. The BL signal of the targeted transmission package may be directly transcoded from the BL signal of the intermediate bitstream alone.

摘要: Systems and methods are disclosed for filtering metadata to be used in display management. Given an input video stream and input metadata comprising at least one of minimum, average, or maximum luminance values of the video frames in the video stream, values of a function of the input metadata are filtered using a temporal filter to generate filtered metadata, wherein the filtering is based only on metadata for input frames in the same scene. Methods for temporal filtering based on an exponential moving average filter or a look-ahead sliding window filter are presented, including methods for scene-change detection using the input metadata.
