    摘要: A volumetric image of a scene can be created, in one embodiment, by recording, through a camera in a device, a series of images of the scene as the camera is moved along a path relative to the scene; during the recording, the device stores motion path metadata about the path, and the series of images is associated with the motion path metadata and a metadata label is associated with the series of images, the metadata label indicating that the recorded series of images represent a volumetric image of the scene. The series of images, the motion path metadata and the metadata label can be assembled into a package for distribution to devices that can view the volumetric image, which may be referred to as a limited volumetric image. The devices that receive the volumetric image can display the individual images in the series of images or as a video.

    摘要: In one embodiment, methods, media, and systems process and display light field images using a view function that is based on pixel locations in the image and on the viewer's distance (observer's Z position) from the display. The view function can be an angular view function that specifies different angular views for different pixels in the light field image based on the inputs that can include: the x or y pixel location in the image, the viewer's distance from the display, and the viewer's angle relative to the display. In one embodiment, light field metadata, such as angular range metadata and/or angular offset metadata can be used to process and display the image. In one embodiment, color volume mapping metadata can be used to adjust color volume mapping based on the determined angular views; and the color volume mapping metadata can also be adjusted based on angular offset metadata.

    摘要: A system and method of editing video content includes receiving input video data; converting the input video data to a predetermined format; generating a plurality of initial metadata values for a frame of the converted video data, the plurality of initial metadata values including a first metadata value corresponding to a first fixed value not calculated from a content including the frame, a second metadata value corresponding to an average luminance value of the frame, and a third metadata value corresponding to a second fixed value not calculated from the content, wherein the first meta-data value, the second metadata value, and the third metadata value include information used by a decoder to render a decoded image on a display.

    摘要: A handheld imaging device has a data receiver that is configured to receive reference encoded image data. The data includes reference code values, which are encoded by an external coding system. The reference code values represent reference gray levels, which are being selected using a reference grayscale display function that is based on perceptual non-linearity of human vision adapted at different light levels to spatial frequencies. The imaging device also has a data converter that is configured to access a code mapping between the reference code values and device-specific code values of the imaging device. The device-specific code values are configured to produce gray levels that are specific to the imaging device. Based on the code mapping, the data converter is configured to transcode the reference encoded image data into device-specific image data, which is encoded with the device-specific code values.

    摘要: An existing metadata set that is specific to a color volume transformation model is transformed to a metadata set that is specific to a distinctly different color volume transformation model. For example, source content metadata for a first color volume transformation model is received. This source metadata determines a specific color volume transformation, such as a sigmoidal tone map curve. The specific color volume transformation is mapped to a color volume transformation of a second color volume transformation model, e.g., a Bézier tone map curve. Mapping can be a best fit curve, or a reasonable approximation. Mapping results in metadata values used for the second color volume transformation model (e.g., one or more Bézier curve knee points and anchors). Thus, devices configured for the second color volume transformation model can reasonably render source content according to received source content metadata of the first color volume transformation model.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a dual modulator display systems and methods for rendering target image data upon the dual modulator display system are disclosed where the display system receives target image data, possible HDR image data and first calculates display control signals and then calculates backlight control signals from the display control signals. This order of calculating display signals and then backlight control signals later as a function of the display systems may tend to reduce clipping artifacts. In other embodiments, it is possible to split the input target HDR image data into a base layer and a detail layer, wherein the base layer is the low spatial resolution image data that may be utilized as for backlight illumination data. The detail layer is higher spatial resolution image data that may be utilized for display control data.
