  • Publication number: 20210235093
    Abstract: Video processing techniques and pipelines that support capture, distribution, and display of high dynamic range (HDR) image data to both HDR-enabled display devices and display devices that do not support HDR imaging. A sensor pipeline may generate standard dynamic range (SDR) data from HDR data captured by a sensor using tone mapping, for example local tone mapping. Information used to generate the SDR data may be provided to a display pipeline as metadata with the generated SDR data. If a target display does not support HDR imaging, the SDR data may be directly rendered by the display pipeline. If the target display does support HDR imaging, then an inverse mapping technique may be applied to the SDR data according to the metadata to render HDR data for display. Information used in performing color gamut mapping may also be provided in the metadata and used to recover clipped colors for display.

  • Publication number: 20210227226
    Abstract: Adaptive video processing for a target display panel may be implemented in or by a server/encoding pipeline. The adaptive video processing methods may obtain and take into account video content and display panel-specific information including display characteristics and environmental conditions (e.g., ambient lighting and viewer location) when processing and encoding video content to be streamed to the target display panel in an ambient setting or environment. The server-side adaptive video processing methods may use this information to adjust one or more video processing functions as applied to the video data to generate video content in the color gamut and dynamic range of the target display panel that is adapted to the display panel characteristics and ambient viewing conditions.
