  • Publication number: 20190156468
    Abstract: A method and device for reconstructing image data is provided that is representative of an original image data from a decoded image data and parameters obtained from a bitstream, the parameters having been processed from said original image data. The method provides a desaturating of a luma component, an inverse-mapping of desaturated luma component and a correction of chroma components. These operations are being modulated according to the value of a single modulation factor mod representative of a peak luminance of a presentation display on which the reconstructed image is intended to be displayed, a peak luminance of a particular range image and a peak luminance of the original image data or the mastering display used to grade the original image data.

  • Publication number: 20180376145
    Abstract: Images to be used as reference images in an adaptive resolution coder or decoder undergo resizing to match the resolution of an image being processed. The resizing process is carried out using extended resolution bit lengths to more accurately represent the processed image. The internal bit depth is retained through the resizing process, and kept as a reference image is stored. When a reference image is used in motion compensation processing, the resized reference matches the resolution of a current image being processed and has an expanded bit depth precision to achieve better fidelity.

  • Publication number: 20180255210
    Abstract: Synchronization of two video streams that have been processed in different ways is achieved by generation of logical maps representative of characteristics, such as differences, between sample values and their spatial neighbors in a current stream and in a reference stream. For samples in a current stream and co-located samples in the reference stream, logical maps are generated. Those frames in each stream that have the best fit regarding equal logical map values are aligned to synchronize the streams.
