Pre-processing of HDR video involving chroma adjustment

Abstract:

A processing for a first pixel in a picture comprises obtaining a lower limit of a first color component of the first pixel in a first color space based on a distance between a color of the first pixel and a first distorted version of the color in a second color space. An upper limit of the first color component in the first color 5 space is obtained based on a distance between the color and a second distorted version of the color in the second color space. A filtered value is obtained of the first color component and which is equal to or larger than the lower limit and equal to or lower than the upper limit. The processing results in filtered values that are cheaper to encode but that are visibly undistinguishable from the original colors of the pixels.
