Abstract

A first image stream has a first dynamic range and a first color space. First and the second image streams are received in a layered codec. The second image stream has a second dynamic range, which is higher than the first dynamic range. The first image stream is in the codec's base layer; the second image stream is in its enhancement layer. The first image stream is encoded to obtain an encoded image stream, which is decoded to obtain a decoded image stream. The decoded image stream is converted from the first non-linear or linear color space to a second, different color space to obtain a color converted image stream. A higher dynamic range image representation of the color converted image stream is generated to obtain a transformed image stream. Inverse tone mapping parameters are generated based on the transformed image stream and the second image stream.
