Abstract
An image processing system performs intensity mapping in a manner that avoids color shifts and conserves processing resources while adapting image data for a target display device. The image processing system may convert input image data to a target color space in which brightness components are orthogonal to other color components. When intensity mapping is performed on image data, the intensity mapping operations do not induce the color shifts that were created in these other proposals. Resource conservation may be achieved by altering operation of perceptual quantization processes as used in other intensity mapping systems. Where prior proposals performed perceptual quantization on all color components of the image data being processed, the disclosed embodiments perform perceptual quantization on only a brightness color component of image data. Thus, these embodiments avoid resource expenditures that otherwise would be spent on perceptual quantization of two other color components.
