HDR Video Coding
This document describes the core experiment 2 (CE2) on normative 4:2:0 YCbCr NCL fixed point for HDR Video Coding established at the 113th MPEG meeting. This document describes the core experiment on normative solutions for HDR video coding.
The goal of this CE is to identify and investigate methods for the optimization of the HEVC Main 10 coding of High Dynamic Range (HDR) and Wide Color Gamut (WCG) content without any specification changes. Given this investigation, it is expected that improved HDR/WCG anchors will be produced, as well as a document providing recommendations of best practices for HDR/WCG processing and encoding given the current HEVC specification.
This document presents a first draft Test Model for HDR/WCG video compression. This test model also provides in an attachment an example on how the syntax and semantics can be implemented.
This document describes the core experiment 3 (CE3) on objective metrics for evaluation of HDR video compression established at the 112th MPEG meeting. The CE relates to objective evaluation of HDR and WCG video coding technologies.
This document describes the core experiment 2 (CE2) on HDR reconstruction approaches established at the 112th MPEG meeting. The CE relates to HDR and WCG video coding technologies and focuses on the reconstruction of an HDR video from the output decoded video from an HEVC Main 10 decoder. In this CE, only solutions implying changes to the HEVC specification are considered.
This document provides description of Core Experiment (CE) 1 on optimizations without HEVC specification changes.
