    Abstract: Methods and systems to adjust differently brightness and contrast for dark and bright pictures on a display are provided. Given a tone-mapping curve mapping an input dynamic range to a display comprising a minimum and maximum display luminance value, the maximum display luminance value is lowered to an adjusted luminance value according to user defined parameters. The input dynamic range is tone-mapped to the display dynamic range using the adjusted luminance value. For brightness control, the tone mapped image is stretched linearly back to the maximum display luminance value. For contrast control, a gamma or power EOTF of the display is adjusted according to the adjusted luminance. For displays with global backlight control, the global backlight is adjusted only when contrast is adjusted.

    Abstract: In a method to improve backwards compatibility when decoding high-dynamic range images coded in a wide color gamut (WCG) space which may not be compatible with legacy color spaces, hue and/or saturation values of images in an image database are computed for both a legacy color space (say, YCbCr-gamma) and a preferred WCG color space (say, IPT-PQ). Based on a cost function, a reshaped color space is computed so that the distance between the hue values in the legacy color space and rotated hue values in the preferred color space is minimized HDR images are coded in the reshaped color space. Legacy devices can still decode standard dynamic range images assuming they are coded in the legacy color space, while updated devices can use color reshaping information to decode HDR images in the preferred color space at full dynamic range.

    Abstract: Methods for encoding and decoding high-dynamic range signals are presented. The signals are encoded in a high frame rate and are accompanied by frame-rate conversion metadata defining a preferred set of frame-rate down-conversion parameters, which are determined according to the maximum luminance of a target display, display playback priority modes, or judder control modes. A decoder uses the frame-rate conversion metadata to apply frame-rate down-conversion to the input high-frame-rate signal according to at least the maximum luminance of the target display and/or the characteristics of the signal itself. Frame-based and pixel-based frame-rate conversions, and judder models for judder control via metadata are also discussed.

    Abstract: Methods are disclosed for ambient light-adaptive display management. Given an input image, image metadata, an ambient-light signal, and parameters characterizing a target display, a processor generates an ambient-light adjustment function which maps input luminance values in a reference viewing environment to output luminance values in a target viewing environment, wherein the target viewing environment is determined based on the ambient-light signal. The ambient-light adjustment function is applied to the input image and the input metadata to generate a virtual image and new metadata. A tone-mapping function based on the new metadata and target display parameters is applied to the virtual image to generate an output image. The parameters for the target display are computed based on the ambient-light signal, global dimming metadata, and the luminance characteristics of the target display.

    Abstract: A method for merging graphics and high dynamic range video data is disclosed. In a video receiver, a display management process uses metadata to map input video data from a first dynamic range into the dynamic range of available graphics data. The remapped video signal is blended with the graphics data to generate a video composite signal. An inverse display management process uses the metadata to map the video composite signal to an output video signal with the first dynamic range. To alleviate perceptual tone-mapping jumps during video scene changes, a metadata transformer transforms the metadata to transformed so that on a television (TV) receiver metadata values transition smoothly between consecutive scenes. The TV receiver receives the output video signal and the transformed metadata to generate video data mapped to the dynamic range of the TV's display.
