Abstract: A quantization parameter signalling mechanism for both SDR and HDR content in video coding is described using two approaches. The first approach is to send the user-defined QpC table directly in high level syntax. This leads to more flexible and efficient QP control for future codec development and video content coding. The second approach is to signal luma and chroma QPs independently. This approach eliminates the need for QpC tables and removes the dependency of chroma quantization parameter on luma QP.

Abstract: Methods are described to communicate source color volume information in a coded bitstream using SEI messaging. Such data include at least the minimum, maximum, and average luminance values in the source data plus optional data that may include the color volume x and y chromaticity coordinates for the input color primaries (e.g., red, green, and blue) of the source data, and the color x and y chromaticity coordinates for the color primaries corresponding to the minimum, average, and maximum luminance values in the source data. Messaging data signaling an active region in each picture may also be included.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for transmission of volumetric images in the MPI format. According to an example embodiment, texture and alpha layers of multiplane images are packed, as tiles, into a sequence of video frames. The sequence of video frames is then compressed to generate a video bitstream, which is transmitted together with a metadata bitstream specifying at least the parameters of the packing arrangement for the tiles in the sequence of video frames. Example packing arrangements include various selectable spatial and temporal arrangements for texture layers, alpha layers, and camera views. In some examples, the metadata bitstream is implemented using a SEI message and includes parameters selected from the group consisting of a size of the reference view, the number of layers in the multiplane image, the number of simultaneous views, one or more characteristics of the packing arrangement, layer merging information, dynamic range adjustment information, and reference view information.

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 and systems for frame rate scalability are described. Support is provided for input and output video sequences with variable frame rate and variable shutter angle across scenes, or for input video sequences with fixed input frame rate and input shutter angle, but allowing a decoder to generate a video output at a different output frame rate and shutter angle than the corresponding input values. Techniques allowing a decoder to decode more computationally-efficiently a specific backward compatible target frame rate and shutter angle among those allowed are also presented.
