  • Patent number: 12524855
    Abstract: A method for inverse tone mapping includes obtaining a histogram of a low dynamic range image, called LDR image and obtaining an ITMO function, allowing obtaining a pixel value of a High Dynamic Range image, called HDR image, from a pixel value of the LDR image and a gain function depending on said pixel value of the LDR image. A search process is applied using the obtained histogram to identify areas of the LDR image producing bright areas in the HDR image when the ITMO function is applied on said LDR image. Information representative of the bright areas is used to determine when modifying the gain function to ensure the HDR image respects at least one predefined light energy constraint.

  • Publication number: 20260010992
    Abstract: A method comprising emulating (401) an implementation of a post-processing process of an SL-HDRx system before applying a pre-processing process of the SL-HDRx system using input color components of a current sample of a current picture up to a computation of at least one intermediate chroma component; determining (402, 404) that a value of the at least one intermediate chroma component is higher than a maximum chroma component value depending on a calculation precision set in the implementation of the post-processing process; applying (403, 405) a correction process on the input color components to obtain corrected color components for the current sample respecting at least a clipping prevention condition responsive to the value of the at least one intermediate chroma component is higher than the maximum chroma component value.

  • Publication number: 20250157012
    Abstract: A method comprising: obtaining an histogram of a current SDR picture, the histogram comprising bins, a bin associating a sample value to a number of occurrences of the sample value in the current SDR picture; determining a current state value representative of the current SDR picture from at least one most representative bin of the histogram, the most representative bin being the bin of the histogram representing the highest number of samples of the current SDR picture; identifying a profile in a set of a plurality of profiles corresponding to the determined current state value, each profile of the plurality being associated to an expansion function; and, applying an inverse tone mapping to the current SDR picture using the expansion function associated with the identified profile to obtain a HDR picture.

  • Patent number: 12277304
    Abstract: The purpose of the invention is a method for activating a mobile device in a network comprising at least one display device being coupled to a sensor. This method is characterised by the fact that it comprises: detecting the mobile device via the sensor coupled to the display device; displaying a device representative of the detected mobile device, called a virtual device, on the display device such that the position of the virtual device on the display screen is linked to the position of the mobile device in the capture field of the sensor; activating the mobile device in the network when a determined action is applied by the user to the mobile device. Another purpose of the invention is a display device and a system implementing the method.

  • Publication number: 20230267579
    Abstract: A method for inverse tone mapping by obtaining a gain function, called initial gain function, of a first inverse tone mapping function; if an analysis of a current image shows that at least a pixel of the current image with a luminance value at least equal to a luminance value depending of a predetermined percentage of the pixels of the current image have an expanded luminance value resulting from an application of the first ITM function to the current image higher than a target value, applying a second ITM function to the current image, the second ITM function corresponding to the first inverse tone mapping function in which the gain function has been replaced by a modified gain function derived from the initial gain function in which a gain provided by the initial gain function is attenuated by an attenuation function, said attenuation function being weighted by a weighting factor controlling a strength of the attenuation, the weighting factor depending on a statistical distribution of luminance values in a
