Abstract: 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.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for in-loop, region-based, reshaping for the coding of high-dynamic range video. Using a high bit-depth buffer to store input data and previously decoded reference data, forward and backward, in-loop, reshaping functions allow video coding and decoding to be performed at a target bit depth lower than the input bit depth. Methods for the clustering of the reshaping functions to reduce data overhead are also presented.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: Compared to traditional gamma-coded video, perceptually quantized video provides greater flexibility for the transmission and display management of high-dynamic range video, but it does not compresses as efficiently using existing standard codecs. Techniques are described to improve the coding efficiency of perceptually coded video by applying a color cross-talk transformation after the RGB/XYZ to LMS transformation. Such a transform increases luma and chroma correlation for color appearance models, but improves perceptual uniformity and overall coding efficiency for wide color gamut, HDR, signals.

Abstract: Relatively low dynamic range images or image partitions are converted into relatively high dynamic range images or image partitions that comprise reconstructed pixel values having a higher dynamic range than pixel values of the relatively low dynamic range images. Information relating to reconstructed pixel values of the relatively high dynamic range images and pixel values of the relatively low dynamic range images is collected. Prediction parameters are derived from the collected information. A predicted image or image partition is predicted from a relatively low dynamic range image or image partition based on the prediction parameters and comprises predicted pixel values having the higher dynamic range than pixel values of the relatively low dynamic range image orimage partition.

Abstract: 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 a piecewise inter-layer predictor. The output parameters of the piecewise predictor are computed based atleast on two sets of pre-computed values and a prediction cost criterion. The first set of pre-computed values applies to all input SDR frames and comprises a set of SDR pixel values raised to one or more integer power terms. The second set of pre-computed values is frame specific and is computed based on a histogram of an input SDR frame and pixel values of the corresponding EDR frame. The pre-computed values allow for a fast iterative algorithm to identify the best pivot points for the piecewise polynomials according to a prediction cost and to solve for the coefficients of the piecewise predictor.

Abstract: Techniques use multiple lower bit depth (e.g., 8 bits) codecs to provide higher bit depth (e.g., 12+ bits) high dynamic range images from an upstream device to a downstream device. Multiple layers comprising a base layer and one or more enhancement layers may be used to carry video signals comprising image data compressed by lower bit depth encoders to a downstream device, wherein the base layer cannot be decoded and viewed on its own. Lower bit depth input image data to base layer processing may be generated from higher bit depth high dynamic range input image data via advanced quantization to minimize the volume of image data to be carried by enhancement layer video signals. The image data in the enhancement layer video signals may comprise residual values, quantization parameters, and mapping parameters based in part on a prediction method corresponding to a specific method used in the advanced quantization. Adaptive dynamic range adaptation techniques take into consideration special transition effects, such as fade-in and fade-outs, for improved coding performance.

Abstract: Sample data and metadata related to spatial regions in images may be received from a coded video signal. It is determined whether specific spatial regions in the images correspond to a specific region of luminance levels. In response to determining the specific spatial regions correspond to the specific region of luminance levels, signal processing and video compression operations are performed on sets of samples in the specific spatial regions. The signal processing and video compression operations are at least partially dependent on the specific region of luminance levels.
