Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer readable media are described for providing improved color remapping. In some examples, a video bitstream is obtained that includes a plurality of pictures having a first color characteristic. A color remapping information (CRI) supplemental enhancement information (SEI) message is identified from the video bitstream. A restriction is placed on the CRI SEI message such that a value of a syntax element of the CRI SEI message is restricted based on a condition. One or more samples of the plurality of pictures is remapped from the first color characteristic to a second color characteristic using a color remapping model of the CRI SEI message according to the restriction. In some cases, the condition is a chroma format of the plurality of pictures, in which case the value of the syntax element of the CRI SEI message is restricted based on the chroma format.

Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for communicating optimal coding parameters between a source device and a sink device. The sink device may receive, in a bitstream, video data and a group of one or more supplemental enhancement information (SEI) messages, wherein each SEI message comprises indications of a set of display capabilities and a set of remapping parameters. The sink device may then, for each SEI message of the group of one or more SEI messages, compare the respective set of display capabilities indicated in the respective SEI message with a target set of display capabilities for the sink device. Responsive to determining that a first set of display capabilities indicated by a first SEI message is compatible with the target set of display capabilities, the sink device may adapt the video data using a respective set of remapping parameters indicated by the first SEI message.

Abstract: Techniques are described for identifying and reducing the incidence of artifacts in video using color gamut scalability (CGS) parameters and tables in scalable video coding (SVC). Derivation of CGS mapping tables are performed for each partition of pixel values in a color space. The pixel value domain is split into partitions and each is optimized independently. Color prediction techniques for CGS may be used by video encoders and/or video decoders to generate inter-layer reference pictures when a color gamut for a lower layer of video data is different than a color gamut for a higher layer of the video data. When mapped values are used as inter-layer predication references for the enhancement layer blocks, artifacts may appear in some frames of the sequences. A video encoder may identify blocks that potentially contain these artifacts and disable inter-layer prediction in those identified blocks.

Abstract: A device may determine, based on data in a bitstream, a luma sample (Y) of a pixel, a Cb sample of the pixel, and the Cr sample of the pixel. Furthermore, the device may obtain, from the bitstream, a first scaling factor and a second scaling factor. Additionally, the device may determine, based on the first scaling factor, the Cb sample for the pixel, and Y, a converted B sample (B?) for the pixel. The device may determine, based on the second scaling factor, the Cr sample for the pixel, and Y, a converted R sample (R?) for the pixel. The device may apply an electro-optical transfer function (EOTF) to convert Y?, R?, and B? to a luminance sample for the pixel, a R sample for the pixel, and a B sample for the pixel, respectively.
