US Patent 11388408 Interpolation of reshaping functions

Methods and systems for generating an interpolated reshaping function for the efficient coding of high-dynamic range images are provided. The interpolated reshaping function is constructed based on a set of pre-computed basis reshaping functions. Interpolation schemes are derived for pre-computed basis reshaping functions represented as look-up tables, multi-segment polynomials, or matrices of coefficients in a multivariate, multi-regression representation. Encoders and decoders using asymmetric reshaping and interpolated reshaping functions for mobile applications are also presented.
