Abstract: A disclosed configuration includes a system (or a computer implemented method or a non-transitory computer readable medium) for automatically preprocessing higher dynamic range image data into lower dynamic range image data through a data adaptive tuning process. By automatically preprocessing the higher dynamic range image data into the lower dynamic range image data through the data adaptive tuning process, an existing encoding process for encoding the standard dynamic range image data can be applied to the lower dynamic range image data while preserving metadata sufficient to recover image fidelity even in the high dynamic range. In one aspect, the system (or a computer implemented method or a non-transitory computer readable medium) provides for backwards compatibility between high dynamic range video services and existing standard dynamic range services. In one aspect, regrading is applied in a domain that is perceptually more uniform than the domain it is initially presented.

Abstract: Methods and systems use a video sensor grid over an area, and extensive signal processing, to create a model-based view of reality. Grid-based synchronous capture, point cloud generation and refinement, morphology, polygonal tiling and surface representation, texture mapping, data compression, and system-level components for user-directed signal processing, is used to create, at user demand, a virtualized world, viewable from any location in an area, in any direction of gaze, at any time within an interval of capture. This data stream is transmitted for near-term network-based delivery, and 5G. Finally, that virtualized world, because it is inherently model-based, is integrated with augmentations (or deletions), creating a harmonized and photorealistic mix of real, and synthetic, worlds. This provides a fully immersive, mixed reality world, in which full interactivity, using gestures, is supported.
