Encoding and decoding HDR videos

To enable a high quality HDR video communication, which can work by sending corresponding LDR images potentially via established LDR video communication technologies, which works well in practical situations, applicant has invented a HDR video decoder (600, 1100) arranged to calculate a HDR image (I...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	To enable a high quality HDR video communication, which can work by sending corresponding LDR images potentially via established LDR video communication technologies, which works well in practical situations, applicant has invented a HDR video decoder (600, 1100) arranged to calculate a HDR image (Im_RHDR) based on applying to a received 100 nit standard dynamic range image (Im_RLDR) a set of luminance transformation functions, the functions comprising at least a coarse luminance mapping (FC), which is applied by a dynamic range optimizer (603), and a mapping of the darkest value (0) of an intermediate luma (Y′HPS), being output of the dynamic range optimizer, to a received black offset value (Bk_off) by a range stretcher (604), the video decoder comprising a gain limiter (611, 1105) arranged to apply an alternate luminance transformation function to calculate a subset (502) of the darkest luminances of the HDR image, from corresponding darkest lumas (Y′_in) of the standard dynamic range image.
