  • Publication number: 20140185930
    Abstract: Inter-color image prediction is based on color grading modeling. Prediction is applied to the efficient coding of images and video signals of high dynamic range. Prediction models may include a color transformation matrix that models hue and saturation color changes and a non-linear function modeling color correction changes. Under the assumption that the color grading process uses a slope, offset, and power (SOP) operations, an example non linear prediction model is presented.

  • Publication number: 20140050271
    Abstract: In layered VDR coding, inter-layer residuals are quantized by a non-linear quantizer before being coded by a subsequent encoder. Several non-linear quantizers are presented. Such non-linear quantizers may be based on sigmoid-like transfer functions, controlled by one or more free parameters that control their mid-range slope. These functions may also depend on an offset, an output range parameter, and the maximum absolute value of the input data. The quantizer parameters can time-vary and are signaled to a layered decoder. Example non-linear quantizers described herein may be based on the mu-law function, a sigmoid function, and/or a Laplacian distribution.

  • Publication number: 20140029675
    Abstract: Inter-color image prediction is based on multi-channel multiple regression (MMR) models. Image prediction is applied to the efficient coding of images and video signals of high dynamic range. MMR models may include first order parameters, second order parameters, and cross-pixel parameters. MMR models using extension parameters incorporating neighbor pixel relations are also presented. Using minimum means-square error criteria, closed form solutions for the prediction parameters are presented for a variety of MMR models.
