  • Patent number: 10547855
    Abstract: A method and device for encoding or decoding a picture block having a luminance component. The method includes obtaining a luminance residual block (Lr) by subtracting a first representation (Ll, LlD) of an average value of the luminance component calculated from the luminance component, obtaining a second representation (ƒ(Ll), ƒ(Ll)D) of the average value by applying a transfer function to the average value (Ll) of the luminance component in order to reduce the dynamic range of the average value and encoding a luminance block (Le) obtained by adding (105, 302) together the luminance residual block (Lr) and the second representation (ƒ(Ll), ƒ(Ll)D) of the average value.

  • Patent number: 10313647
    Abstract: According to this method, upon reception of a color transform associated with a main sequence, a transition sequence is generated from successive images of this main sequence such that the first image of this transition sequence is an image received after reception of this color transform, transition color transforms associated with images of said transition sequence are generated by blending a color transform associated with a previous main sequence or no color transform with the second color transform, and each image of this transition sequence is processed using the transition color transform associated with said image.

  • Patent number: 10148958
    Abstract: At least one of the present embodiments generally relates to a method for encoding a HDR picture and a first LDR picture, the method comprising obtaining a second LDR picture responsive to a ratio between the HDR picture and a backlight picture and encoding the first LDR picture and the second LDR picture by predicting one of the first and second LDR pictures by the other one of the first and second LDR pictures. The method wherein it further comprises, before encoding, adjusting the first LDR picture responsive to the backlight picture. The disclosure relates also to a method and device for decoding an LDR picture providing a lower dynamic range depiction of the picture content of an HDR picture.

  • Patent number: 10045024
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and device for quantising the floating value of a pixel of an image by rounding either to a lesser whole number, to a greater whole number, or to the whole number closest to this floating value. The method is characterised in that the selection of rounding this floating value is determined based on a test value.

  • Patent number: 9979973
    Abstract: A method for encoding a sequence of high dynamic range pictures is disclosed. The method comprises for each picture of the sequence: obtaining a value representative of an average luminance of the high dynamic range picture; processing the high dynamic range picture so that the value representative of an average luminance of the processed picture is closer to a defined average luminance value than is the value representative of an average luminance of the high dynamic range picture; decomposing the processed high dynamic range picture in at least one first low dynamic range picture and one second low dynamic range picture of lower resolution representative of a global illumination of the scene; and encoding the first and second low dynamic range pictures and a data function of said value representative of an average luminance of said high dynamic range picture.
