Abstract
3D mapping statistics are generated for a first image of a first dynamic range and a second image of a second dynamic range different from the first dynamic range. Multivariate multiple regression (MMR) coefficients are generated by solving an optimization problem formulated using an MMR matrix built with the 3D mapping statistics without a letterbox constraint, and used to generate chroma mappings for predicting chroma codeword values of the second image. It is determined whether a letterbox exists in the images. If so, it is determined whether the chroma mappings accurately predict chroma codeword values in the second image. A reconstructed image generated by a recipient device by backward reshaping one of the images is rendered by a display device operating in conjunction with the recipient device.
