Abstract
A tone-mapping function that maps input images of a high dynamic range into reference tone-mapped images of a relatively narrow dynamic range is generated. A luma forward reshaping function is derived, based on first bit depths and second bit depths, for forward reshaping luma codewords of the input images into forward reshaped luma codewords of forward reshaped images approximating the reference tone-mapped images. A chroma forward reshaping mapping is derived for predicting chroma codewords of the forward reshaped images. Backward reshaping metadata that is to be used by recipient devices to generate a luma backward reshaping function and a chroma backward reshaping mapping is transmitted with the forward reshaped images to the recipient devices. Techniques for the joint derivation of forward luma and chroma reshaping functions are also presented.
