Abstract

An encoder receives a target image in a standard dynamic range and a guide image in a high dynamic range, wherein both the target image and the guide image represent the same scene. A color transient improvement (CTI) filter is selected to predict a chroma component of a decoded version of the target image based on both the luma and chroma components of the target image and the guide image. The filtering coefficients for the CTI filter are computed by minimizing an error measurement (e.g., MSE) between pixel values of the decoded image and the guide image. The computed set of filtering coefficients is signaled to a receiver (e.g., as metadata). A decoder receives the coded image and the metadata, and applies the same CTI filter to the decoded image to generate an output image.
