Abstract: Guided filtering is applied, with a camera raw image as a guidance image, to a first image to generate an intermediate image. A dynamic range mapping is performed on the intermediate image to generate a second image of a different dynamic range. The second image is used to generate specific local reshaping function index values for selecting specific local reshaping functions. The specific local reshaping functions are applied to the second image to generate a locally reshaped image.

Abstract: Input images are received as input to a multi-node system. The input images are divided into segments assigned to respective nodes of the multi-node system. Primary and secondary scenes are identified in the segments to ensure compliance with minimum and average distance constraints. Scene-level forward reshaping mappings are generated for the scenes by a respective node for an assigned segment. Forward reshaped images in the segment are generated by the node using the forward reshaping mappings and encoded into an output video signal, which enables a recipient device to generate reconstructed images and to render display images derived from the reconstructed images on an image display.

Abstract: A first reshaping mapping is performed on a first image represented in a first domain to generate a second image represented in a second domain. The first domain is of a first dynamic range different from a second dynamic range of which the second domain is. A second reshaping mapping is performed on the second image represented in the second domain to generate a third image represented in the first domain. The third image is perceptually different from the first image in at least one of: global contrast, global saturation, local contrast, local saturation, etc. A display image is derived from the third image and rendered on a display device.

Abstract: Methods and systems for generating a set of forward and backward reshaping functions for the efficient coding of high-dynamic range (HDR) images are provided. Given an initial set of forward reshaping functions, output forward reshaping functions are constructed by a) using the forward reshaping functions to generate a first set of corresponding backward reshaping functions b) generating a second set of backward reshaping functions using a multi-segment polynomial representation with a common set of pivot points c) generating an output set of backward reshaping functions by optimizing the polynomial representation of the second set of backward reshaping functions to minimize gap values between consecutive segments and d) using the output set of backward reshaping functions to generate the output set of forward reshaping functions by minimizing the distance between original input HDR codewords and reconstructed HDR codewords.

Abstract: A method for distributing High Dynamic Range (HDR) content to playback devices for displaying images where the HDR content is encoded to an HDR bitstream and the HDR bitstream is subsequently decoded by a playback device. The HDR bitstream contains auxiliary metadata packets that are based upon the processing capability of the playback device.

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.

Abstract: In some embodiments, an encoder device is disclosed to receive an input video stream containing images in a first dynamic range including a first image. The device receives a second image representing the first image. The device obtains statistical data for the first and the second images. The device determines, at a first time delay, a scene cut data from the input video stream and storing the scene cut data in a first sliding window. The device determines, at a second time delay, a first smoothing mapping function based on a second sliding window and the determined scene cut data. The device determines, at a third time delay, a second smoothing mapping function based on a third sliding window and the determined scene cut data. The device generates, at the third time delay, a composer metadata for the first image based on the first and second smoothing mapping functions.

Abstract: In a method to improve the dynamic range of high-dynamic range (HDR) signals using an enhancement layer, a piecewise-linear inter-layer predictor and a residual masking operator are applied. The generation of the piecewise-linear inter-layer prediction function is based on a computed scene-significance histogram based on the average of frame-significance histograms indicating pixel values where coding artifacts are most likely to occur. For each segment in the prediction function, its slope is inversely proportional to a measure of energy in the segment under the scene-significance histogram. Bit rate constrains for the enhancement layer are also taken into consideration in determining the piecewise-linear prediction function.

Abstract: An encoder receives an input enhanced dynamic range (EDR) image and a corresponding lower dynamic range (LDR) image to be coded at a given target rate. Before coding, a pre-dithering process is applied to the input LDR image to generate a dithered LDR image at a second bit depth, lower than its original bit depth. The pre-dithering process includes: generating uniformly-distributed noise, applying a spatial filter to the noise to generate low-pass or high-pass filtered noise, applying a temporal high pass or low pass filter to the spatially-filtered noise to generate output noise noise, adding the output noise to the input LDR image to generate a noise-enhanced LDR image, and quantizing the noise-enhanced image to generate the dithered LDR image. Selecting the characteristics of the dithering filters is based on both the target bit rate and luminance characteristics of the pixels in the input LDR image.

Abstract: A device includes an electronic processor configured to define a first set of sample pixels from a set of sample pixels determined from received video data according to a first electro-optical transfer function (EOTF) in a first color representation of a first color space; convert the first set of sample pixels to a second EOTF via a mapping function, producing a second set of sample pixels according to the second EOTF; convert the first and second set of sample pixels from the first color representation to a second color representation of the first color space; determine a backward reshaping function by repeatedly applying and adjusting a sample backward reshaping function so as to minimize a difference between predicted pixel values obtained by applying the sample backward reshaping function to the pixels of the converted first set and the pixels of the converted second set.
