Abstract: An image processing apparatus comprises a receiver (201) for receiving an image signal comprising an encoded image. Another receiver (1701) receives a data signal from a display (107) where the data signal comprises a data field that comprises a display dynamic range indication of the display (107). The display dynamic range indication comprises at least one luminance specification for the display. A dynamic range processor (203) is arranged to generate an output image by applying a dynamic range transform to the encoded image in response to the display dynamic range indication. An output (205) outputs an output image signal comprising the output image to the display. The transform may furthermore be performed in response to a target display reference indicative of a dynamic range of display for which the encoded image is encoded. The invention may be used to generate an improved High Dynamic Range (HDR) image from e.g. a Low Dynamic Range (LDR) image, or vice versa.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for generating audio output samples predicted to be communicated by a user. One example system includes a first user device having a first user. The first user device initiates a communication session between the first user and a second user of a second user device. The first user device obtains a neural network model of the second user. The neural network model is trained to generate, conditioned on audio input samples received up to a current time step, an audio output sample predicted to be communicated by the second user at a next time step. The user device repeatedly provides received audio input samples as input to the neural network model and plays audio output samples generated by the neural network model in place of received audio input samples communicated by the second user.
