- an object of the invention is to propose a method for extending the range of color intensities of an input image conforming to a standard format with a view to its rendering on a display device having a wider range of color intensities.
- the general principle of the invention is based on the determination of information representative of a global level of brightness of the image as perceived by an observer and on the application to the intensities of the image of an exponent of expansion, expressed as a decreasing function of the overall brightness level of the image.
- the images of the input sequence are two-dimensional (2D). Their elements are pixels.
- 3D three-dimensional
- multiview images the elements of which are voxels.
- the images of this sequence can take different spatial dimensions such as for example SD images (for "Standard Definition”, in English, HD (for High Definition), UHD (for "Ultra High Definition”, in English) , 4K, which is four times the definition of an HD and 8K image, which is eight times the definition of an HD image.
- the input sequence may have frequency values (for "frame rate”, in different values from 24, 25, 30, 50, 60, 120, etc.
- the color intensities of its picture elements can be encoded over a bit depth by example equal to 8, 10, 12 or 16 bits.
- the input image sequence (II n ) is in the format R'G'B '(for "Red Green Blue", in English) ..., as specified in standard BT.709 which defines the values of the parameters of the HDTV standards for the production and international exchange of audiovisual programs.
- the color information is expressed in three components R ', G', B 'which each take values between 0 and 255.
- the invention is not limited to this color space and can also process input images conform to other formats such as BT.2020, BT.601, DCI-P3, etc.
- RGB optical intensities take values between 0 and 1.
- RGB optical intensities are presented, in T2, to an ITMO module (for "Inverse Tone Mapping Operator"), which has the function of extending the range of values of the color intensities of a first interval [0: 1 ] to a second interval of values [0: Lmax] where Lmax represents the length of the second interval, Lmax being an integer greater than 1.
- This ITMO module implements the method according to the invention which will be presented hereinafter with reference to FIG. 2.
- the image sequence produced is in RGB optical format with intensities between 0 and L my x-
- Each image of the sequence is subjected in T3 to an inverse optical electrical conversion operation so as to output a sequence of images whose color intensities correspond to a usable computer coding for a display device, such as a TV.
- the conversion implemented provides Y'CbCr color intensities which break down the color intensities into a luminance component Y 'separate from the chrominance components Cb, C r .
- This Y'CbCr format is a way of representing the color space in video which is well adapted to the transmission problems.
- These components are encoded on 10 bits.
- an additional conversion provides at T4 a sequence of R'G'B 'format output images coded on at least 10 bits.
- the image sequence obtained is transmitted in T5 to a display device, such as for example an HDR digital television for example in accordance with ST2084 or STD-B67.
- a display device such as for example an HDR digital television for example in accordance with ST2084 or STD-B67.
- the optical color intensities of the input image are expressed in RGB format.
- the color intensities of the input image are converted into a color space that includes a luminance Y component and X and Z chrominance components. It is understood that in this space, information representative of a brightness of the image at each of its points is separated from the so-called chrominance information which defines its color.
- information representative of a global level of brightness of the input image, as perceived by the visual system of an observer, is determined.
- the determined information is the key k of the image as defined by Masia.
- the global brightness level information is determined in another manner, defined below:
- the luminance component Y is converted into another luminance component L *, called clarity, of a colorimetric space called CIEL * a * b *.
- Clarity component L * can range from 0 (black) to 100 (white). This is a color space for surface colors, defined by the International Commission on Illumination. (CIE), together with the CIE L * u * v * color space for light colors. Based on the evaluations of the CIE XYZ system, it was designed to more accurately reflect the differences in colors perceived by human vision.
- CIE International Commission on Illumination
- the median value L " med of the clarity component L * is calculated on all the elements of the input image Un.
- the image II n has M picture elements, with M non-zero integers.
- the median value is calculated by sorting the values of the brightness components of the image elements in ascending order, the median value L " med corresponding to the position (M + 1) / 2.
- the median value obtained is normalized, so that its value is between 0 and 1.
- step E2 of the treatment method according to the invention calculates an expansion coefficient y depending on the information representative of a level of brightness of the ILG input image.
- This expansion coefficient is intended to be applied to the luminance component Yi of the input image Un.
- the expansion coefficient y is calculated as a decreasing function of the ILG information.
- the expansion coefficient y is calculated as a decreasing polynomial function of the ILG information.
- the expansion coefficient y is a calculated as a logarithmic function of the inverse of the ILG brightness information of the input image. :
- the ILG information is chosen equal to L * med n .
- the invention is not limited to this particular case.
- Other ways of calculating the ILG information can be envisaged, for example from the key of the image k.
- An advantage of this function is that it corresponds well to the perception model of the human visual system. In addition, it is simple to calculate.
- the invention is not limited to the use of these two examples.
- Other models of curves can be used.
- FIG. 5 shows the steps of the method of processing an input image (II n ) according to the invention, when the input image is in standard SDR format and the display device is configured to render images (IO n ) in HDR format.
- the first chrominance components C1 are multiplied by an expansion coefficient proportional to the expansion applied to the luminance of the image, for example equal to the ratio Y 2 / Y 1, as follows :
- An advantage of this mode is its simplicity.
- An output image (IO n ) is thus obtained whose color intensities take a wider range of values and adapted to the amplitude offered by the display device.
- gamut In color synthesis, gamut, or color gamut, is the part of the set of colors that a certain type of material, such as a television screen or a computer monitor can reproduce.
- the gamut depends on the primary colors used to synthesize the colors. It is often represented as an area on a chromaticity diagram by a polygon that joins the representative points of these primaries.
- Figure 6A shows the cloud of color intensities taken by the input image in the gamut according to BT709 recommendation adapted to HDTV (for "High Definition Television").
- Figure 6B shows that of the output image obtained by the first embodiment of the invention which has just been described in connection with Figure 5. According to a second embodiment, illustrated by FIG.
- the step E4 comprises a sub-step E41 for correcting the color components, which consists in applying to the first chrominance components a correction function that is no longer directly proportional.
- the ratio Y2 / Y1 between output luminance and input luminance as in the previous embodiment.
- the correction function that applies to the first luminance components depends on the first and second luminance components and a saturation factor s, which is a reality strictly greater than 1, according to the following expression :
- B 2 ((
- the saturation factor s is chosen equal to 1.25.
- An advantage of this correction is that by saturating the intensities of the color components, it allows to obtain a more intense color rendering.
- the step E4 further comprises a substep E42 for converting the second chrominance components of a first color space, larger than the first.
- a conversion of a gamut A to a gamut B can be done by matrix transformation as follows:
- the intensities R2, G2, B2 obtained which belong to a first color space, for example according to the recommendation BT709, are converted into intensities R2 ', G2', B2 'in a second color space such as the new space according to the BT2020 recommendation recently created for the new HDTV TV screens (for "Ultra High Definition TVs").
- the conversion of the BT.709 gamut to the BT.2020 gamut shall be done by applying the following matrix as specified in BT.2087:
- An advantage of this conversion is that it allows, because of the increased dimensions of the gamut polygon, to ensure that the transformed color intensities are located at a distance from its borders in the second color space, thereby avoiding clipping effects (for "clipping" in English) color intensities on the output image.
- Figure 6C shows a chromaticity diagram of the output image obtained at the end of the color correction step E41 according to the second embodiment. Note that, due to the correction, the range of color intensities is more extensive in Figure 6C than in Figure 6B, which is reflected, when returning the output image, by rendering more intense.
- Figure 6D shows a chromaticity diagram of the output image obtained at the end of step E42 of color space change. It can be seen that the change in color space makes it possible to move the cloud away from intensity values of the boundaries of the gamut triangle, which has the effect of avoiding any truncation of the intensities of colors at the edges of the triangle and therefore the appearance rendering defects on the output image.
- steps E1 to E4 are repeated for each image.
- the lighting and contrast conditions chosen by an artist to create an image, photograph or video sequence help to give the image a special atmosphere.
- the concept of style is known and widely used in photography, television and cinema.
- the medium tone MK for "Medium-Key Lighting” in English
- MK is a picture-taking style combining medium contrast with moderate brightness.
- Most of the image and video content falls into this category.
- the dark tone LK (for "Low-Key Lighting” in English) is a deliberately dark picture taking style, thus having a low brightness associated with a high contrast.
- the low key style intervenes in several effects such as callsoscuro Unlike standard lighting based on three light sources, the Low-Key technique usually involves only one source.
- the HK High-Key Lighting
- the HK is an image-taking style that combines high brightness with low contrast to express a light mood. It is a style widely used in the field of fashion and advertising.
- the dark tone DK (for "Dark-Key Lighting”) is an intentionally underexposed image-taking style, thus having low light, which is combined with low contrast. It is particularly popular for night scenes, creating a disturbing atmosphere, enhance the suspense of horror movies or thrillers;
- the brilliant tone BK (for "Bright-Key Lighting”) is an image-taking style that combines a high level of contrast with high brightness. This style is commonly used for outdoor shooting on clear sunny days.
- the five lighting styles just described in a diagram have respectively been positioned according to information representative of global levels of luminosity and contrast, as perceived by an observer. It can be seen that the classes LK and DK have comparable brightness levels and are distinguished from each other by their level of contrast. It is the same for classes HK and BK.
- FIGS. 8A to 8E compare, for the five classes of images, the curves of the extended luminance values Y2 of the output image as a function of those Yi of the input image, respectively obtained by the invention and the methods of Akyuz and Masia, already described.
- the Akyuz method uses an expansion exponent equal to 1
- the Masia method exploits an exponent expressed as an affine function of the key of the image.
- the expansion exponent y calculated by the invention is 1.72 and that calculated by Masia is -0.35.
- the expansion is linear, so that all luminances are increased in the same way.
- the coefficient calculated by Masia is negative, which has the effect of saturating the luminance values Y2.
- Figure 9 which shows an image of the output sequence obtained by each of the methods and the corresponding original image, as well as aesthetic and loyalty scores attributed by observers, it is verified that the image obtained by Masia's method is very white and has lost all contrast.
- the image produced by Akyuz's method is of good quality but the original lighting style has been distorted.
- the expansion exponent y calculated by the invention is 1.06 and that calculated by Masia is 1.7.
- the result obtained by Akyuz is too enlightened.
- the one obtained by Masia is too contrasted.
- the scores obtained by Masia are significantly worse than those of Akyuz and those of the invention, in particular because of a beat between the images of the output sequence.
- Masia's method tends to saturate the luminance values over the entire range of values taken by the input image, which will have the effect of giving an impression of over exposure and loss of contrast.
- Akyuz's method linearly amplifies luminance over the entire range of values. The rendering of the images is acceptable, but the original style of the images has been distorted.
