Patent attributes
A disclosed configuration includes a system (or a computer implemented method or a non-transitory computer readable medium) for automatically preprocessing higher dynamic range image data into lower dynamic range image data through a data adaptive tuning process. By automatically preprocessing the higher dynamic range image data into the lower dynamic range image data through the data adaptive tuning process, an existing encoding process for encoding the standard dynamic range image data can be applied to the lower dynamic range image data while preserving metadata sufficient to recover image fidelity even in the high dynamic range. In one aspect, the system (or a computer implemented method or a non-transitory computer readable medium) provides for backwards compatibility between high dynamic range video services and existing standard dynamic range services. In one aspect, regrading is applied in a domain that is perceptually more uniform than the domain it is initially presented.
