Abstract

Given HDR and SDR video inputs representing the same content, segment-based methods are described to generate a backward-compatible reshaped SDR video which preserves the artistic intent or 'look' of the inputs and satisfies other coding requirements. For each frame in a segment, reshaping functions are generated based on a support frames set determined based on a sliding window of frames that is adjusted based on scene cuts in the segment and which may include frames from both the current segment and neighboring segments. For luma reshaping, a mapping that preserves the cumulative density function of the luminance histogram values in the EDR and SDR inputs is combined with a minimum codeword allocation derived based on the EDR signal and the support frame set. For chroma reshaping, methods for segment-based forward and backward reshaping using multivariate, multi-regression models are also presented.
