    Abstract: Methods and systems for dynamic range conversion and display mapping of standard dynamic range (SDR) images onto high dynamic range (HDR) displays are described. Given an SDR input image, a processor generates an intensity (luminance) image and optionally a base layer image and a detail layer image. A first neural network uses the intensity image to predict statistics of the SDR image in a higher dynamic range. These predicted statistics together with the original image statistics of the input image are used to derive an optimal tone-mapping curve to map the input SDR image onto an HDR display. Optionally, a second neural network, using the intensity image and the detail layer image, can generate a residual detail layer image in a higher dynamic range to enhance the tone-mapping of the base layer image into the higher dynamic range.

    Abstract: Methods are disclosed for adaptive display management using one or more viewing environment parameters. Given the one or more viewing environment parameters, an effective luminance range for a target display, and an input image, a tone-mapped image is generated based on a tone-mapping curve, an original PQ luminance mapping function, and the effective luminance range of the display. Corrected PQ (PQ') luminance mapping functions are generated according to the viewing environment parameters and, optionally, the transmissivity properties and reflectivity properties of the target display. PQ-to-PQ' mappings are generated, where each corrected (PQ') luminance mapping function is associated with a different set of viewing environment parameters and is associated with a different region of the display and where codewords in the original PQ luminance mapping function are mapped to codewords in the corrected (PQ') luminance mapping functions, and an adjusted tone-mapped image is generated based on the PQ-to-PQ' mappings.
