Abstract
Techniques are described for decoding frame masks in a video stream. In some solutions, a computer implemented method receives a frame of video data comprising an array of pixels with encoded color values defined in a YUV color space. The encoded values, converted from original color values using a mapping function, are bounded within a second data range, shifted or compressed from a first data range of the original color values. The method decodes the encoded color values to obtain decoded color values for the array of pixels and extracts a foreground mask based on the decoded color values. The foreground mask identifies a subset of the array of pixels to be in a foreground of the frame. The method then converts the decoded color values of the subset of the array of pixels to new color values by applying an inverse mapping function.
