Patent number: 11838531Abstract: A first predictor is applied to an input image to generate first-stage predicted codewords approximating prediction target codewords of a prediction target image. Second-stage prediction target values are created by performing an inverse cascade operation on the prediction target codewords and the first-stage predicted codewords. A second predictor is applied to the input image to generate second-stage predicted values approximating the second-stage prediction target values. Multiple sets of cascade prediction coefficients are generated to comprise first and second sets of cascade prediction coefficients specifying the first and second predictors. The multiple sets of cascade prediction coefficients are encoded, in a video signal, as image metadata. The video signal is further encoded with the input image.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2020Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignee: Dolby Laboratories Licensing CorporationInventors: Harshad Kadu, Guan-Ming Su

Publication number: 20230388555Abstract: In a cloud-based system for encoding high dynamic range (HDR) video, each node receives a video segment and bumper frames. Each segment is subdivided into primary scenes and secondary scenes to derive scene-based forward reshaping functions that minimize the amount of reshaping-related metadata when coding the video segment. When a parent scene of a secondary scene is processed by two or more neighboring nodes, initial forward reshaping functions and trim-pass correction parameters are adjusted using reference tone-mapping functions and updated scene-based trim-pass correction parameters.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 17, 2021Publication date: November 30, 2023Applicant: Dolby Laboratories Licensing CorporationInventors: Harshad Kadu, Guan-Ming Su

Publication number: 20230370646Abstract: A global index value is generated for selecting a global reshaping function for an input image of a relatively low dynamic range using luma codewords in the input image. Image filtering is applied to the input image to generate a filtered image. The filtered values of the filtered image provide a measure of local brightness levels in the input image. Local index values are generated for selecting specific local reshaping functions for the input image using the global index value and the filtered values of the filtered image. A reshaped image of a relatively high dynamic range is generated by reshaping the input image with the specific local reshaping functions selected using the local index values.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 1, 2021Publication date: November 16, 2023Applicant: DOLBY LABORATORIES LICENSING CORPORATIONInventors: Tsung-Wei Huang, Guan-Ming Su, Neeraj J.
