Abstract: A device applies a pre-function w=P(x) to an input signal x to obtain a first result w and applies a LUT to the first result w, wherein the LUT represents a main function ƒw(w) defined for a second grid of values Gw such that the pre-function P(x) is piecewise defined on a first grid Gx of signal values, where Gw=P(Gx). The device can further obtain the pre-function P(x), piecewise defined on the first grid Gx of the signal x and calculate the LUT with the second grid Gw=P(Gx). The piecewise pre-function P(x) can be obtained from a second pre-function Q(x) by applying Q(x) to signal values x to calculate the second grid Gw=Q(Gx) and defining the pre-function P(x) piecewise on the first grid Gx by linear interpolation of the values of the second grid Gw such that P(Gx)=Q(Gx).

Abstract: Methods, devices and video data for encoding, transmitting and decoding a video content item that is rendered and displayed with the same perceived color per any viewer, a content creator included, on any display. The colors wanted by the content creator are encoded in video data in association with master display information corresponding to the display used by the content creator and with master observer information corresponding to the vision characteristics of the content creator. Reciprocally, at decoder side, user display information and user observer information are collected. The rendered video on the user display is color adapted by using both the master information and the user information.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are disclosed for adapting media (e.g., video) processing operations and/or parameters based on one or more viewing conditions in a media environment (e.g., to achieve power saving). Such viewing conditions may include a distance between a display device and a viewer, a viewpoint or viewing direction of the viewer towards the display device, and/or an ambient light level in the media environment. Aspects of the medical processing that may be adapted based on the viewing conditions may be associated with deblocking, sample adaptive offset (SAO) filtering, adaptive loop filtering (ALF), cross component adaptive loop filtering (CCALF), motion compensation, post-inter prediction processing, bi-prediction, residual scaling, luma mapping, chroma residual scaling (LMCS), geometric block partitioning, HDR signal reconstruction, etc.

Abstract: A device applies a pre-function to an input signal to obtain an intermediate signal, wherein the pre-function has a linear section part of the input range. The device then applies a LUT including LUT entries that define a linear section and that delimit the range of the intermediate signal that corresponds to the part of the input range, resulting in an output signal that can be linearly processed through the pre-function and the LUT. The device can process a signal with positive and negative values, where one of these lies in the part of the input range that results in linear processing.

Abstract: According to an embodiment, a direction pointed by a controlling device with a first orientation may be obtained from a first image of a user handing the controlling device with the first orientation. For example, an initial indication of an initial pointed position may be displayed on a display device based on the direction. For example, angular information may be obtained. The angular information may be representative of a difference between the first orientation and a second orientation of the controlling device pointing to the pointed position. For example, an indication of a pointed position may be determined (e.g., for display) based on the initial pointed position and on the received angular information.

Abstract: A method for color processing in view of displaying a video image on a display device is described. The method includes retrieving a spectral power distribution associated with at least one group of light elements of the display device, the group of light elements displaying a color component of the video image to be displayed; computing, in a range of the spectral power distribution, called range of noxiousness, a noxiousness value representative of the noxiousness of the light emitted by the group of light elements of the display device; and comparing the noxiousness value to a bound value of noxiousness. If the noxiousness value is greater than the bound value, the content of the image is modified or the display control parameters of the display device are modified such that the noxiousness value becomes less than the bound value.

Abstract: According to this method, the mapping color LUT has input colors that sample not only a source color gamut (included in an input encoding color space in which inputs colors of this LUT are encoded) but also a portion of the input encoding color space which is not included in the source color gamut. Preferably, this color LUT further includes output colors located outside the target color gamut. Accuracy of the mapping is improved, notably for source colors located near the boundary of the source color gamut.
