  • Patent number: 11928796
    Abstract: Encoding can involve correcting chroma components representing the chroma of an input image according to a first component representing a mapping of the luminance component of said input image used for reducing or increasing the dynamic range of said luminance component, and a reconstructed component representing an inverse mapping of said first component. At least one correction factor according to said at least one scaled chroma components can also be obtained and transmitted. Decoding can involve scaled chroma components being obtained by multiplying chroma components of an image by at least one corrected chroma correction function depending on said at least one correction factor. Components of a reconstructed image can then be derived as a function of said scaled chroma components and a corrected matrix that depends on an inverse of a theoretical color space matrix conversion and said at least one correction factor.

  • Patent number: 11902595
    Abstract: Different implementations are described, particularly implementations for processing a medium dynamic range video signal are presented. In a method for processing such a video signal a medium dynamic range video signal and associated metadata are received, wherein the metadata include data representative of a peak luminance value of the medium dynamic range video signal. In addition, data representative of a peak luminance value of a presentation display are received. It is determined whether the peak luminance value of the medium dynamic range video signal is greater or lower than the peak luminance value of the presentation display. A processor is configured based on the determination, wherein the processor has a first mode to reconstruct a high dynamic range video signal based on a received standard dynamic range video signal and associated metadata, and a second mode to optimize a received high dynamic range video signal for the rendering device.

  • Patent number: 11544824
    Abstract: Described are methods and devices for applying a color gamut mapping process on a first image to generate a second image, where the content of the first and second images is similar but the respective color spaces of the first and second images are different. The color gamut mapping process may be controlled using a color gamut mapping mode obtained from a bitstream where the color gamut mapping mode belongs to a set comprising at least two preset modes and an explicit parameters mode. If the obtained color gamut mapping mode is the explicit parameters mode and the color gamut mapping process is not enabled for the explicit parameters mode, the color gamut mapping process may be controlled by a substitute color gamut mapping mode determined from additional data.

  • Publication number: 20220270568
    Abstract: A device and a method for outputting video content for display on a display. At least one processor displays a first video content on the display, receives a second video content to display, obtains a first luminance value for the first video content, extracts a second luminance value from the second video content, adjusts a luminance of a frame of the second video content based on the first and second luminance values and outputs the frame of the second video content for display on the display. The video content can comprise frames and a luminance value can be equal to an average frame light level for the most recent L frames of the corresponding video content. In case a luminance value is unavailable, a Maximum Frame Average Light Levels of the first video content and the second video content can be used instead.
