    摘要: An encoder receives one or more input pictures of enhanced dynamic range (EDR) to be encoded in a coded bit stream comprising a base layer and one or more enhancement layer. The encoder comprises a base layer quantizer (BLQ) and an enhancement layer quantizer (ELQ) and selects parameters of the BLQ and the ELQ by a joint BLQ-ELQ adaptation method which given a plurality of candidate sets of parameters for the BLQ, for each candidate set, computes a joint BLQ-ELQ distortion value based on a BLQ distortion function, an ELQ distortion function, and at least in part on the number of input pixels to be quantized by the ELQ. The encoder selects as the output BLQ parameter set the candidate set for which the computed joint BLQ-ELQ distortion value is the smallest. Example ELQ, BLQ, and joint BLQ-ELQ distortion functions are provided.

    摘要: 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.

    摘要: Techniques use multiple lower bit depth codecs to provide higher bit depth, high dynamic range, images from an upstream device to a downstream device. A base layer and one or more enhancement layers may be used to carry video signals, 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.
