    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.
