DISTRIBUTION OF MULTI-FORMAT HIGH DYNAMIC RANGE VIDEO USING LAYERED CODING

An encoder receives an input enhanced dynamic range (EDR) image to be stored or transmitted using multiple coding formats in a layered representation. A layer decomposer generates a lower dynamic range (LDR) image from the EDR image. One or more base layer (BL) encoders encode the LDR image to gener...

More Information
Summary:An encoder receives an input enhanced dynamic range (EDR) image to be stored or transmitted using multiple coding formats in a layered representation. A layer decomposer generates a lower dynamic range (LDR) image from the EDR image. One or more base layer (BL) encoders encode the LDR image to generate a main coded BL stream and one or more secondary coded BL streams, where each secondary BL stream is coded in a different coding format than the main coded BL stream. A single enhancement layer (EL) coded stream and related metadata are generated using the main coded BL stream, the LDR image, and the input EDR image. An output coded stream includes the coded EL stream, the metadata, and either the main coded BL stream or one of the secondary coded BL streams. Computation-scalable decoding and display management processes for EDR images are also described.
