Patent 11288781 was granted and assigned to Dolby Laboratories on March, 2022 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
A standard dynamic range (SDR) image is received. Composer metadata is generated for mapping the SDR image to an enhanced dynamic range (EDR) image. The composer metadata specifies a backward reshaping mapping that is generated from SDR-EDR image pairs in a training database. The SDR-EDR image pairs comprise SDR images that do not include the SDR image and EDR images that corresponds to the SDR images. The SDR image and the composer metadata are encoded in an output SDR video signal. An EDR display operating with a receiver of the output SDR video signal is caused to render an EDR display image. The EDR display image is derived from a composed EDR image composed from the SDR image based on the composer metadata.
