## Abstract

A method or device for reconstructing image data representative of original image data from decoded image data and parameters obtained from a bitstream is described. The parameters having been processed from the original image data. The method includes checking if parameters are lost, corrupted or not aligned with the decoded image data whose graphics or overlay is added to, when at least one of the parameters is lost, corrupted or not aligned with the decoded image data whose graphics or overlay is added to; selecting a recovery mode according to an information data indicating how the parameters have been processed; and recovering the at least one lost, corrupted or not aligned parameter by applying the selected recovery mode, the reconstruction of image data then taking also into account the recovered parameters.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method for reconstructing image data representative of original image data from decoded image data and parameters obtained from a bitstream, the parameters having been processed from the original image data, wherein the method comprises:
in response to a determination that a graphic is to be overlaid on a decoded image:
selecting a recovery mode according to information data indicating how the parameters have been processed;
recovering the parameters by applying the selected recovery mode; and
reconstructing image data based on the decoded image data and the recovered parameters, comprising at least inverse mapping of luminance of the decoded image data and chroma correcting of the decoded image data;
wherein the decoded image data and the reconstructed image data have different dynamic ranges.

### Claim 2

A device for reconstructing image data representative of original image data from decoded image data and parameters obtained from a bitstream, the parameters having been processed from the original image data, wherein the decoded image data and the reconstructed image data have different dynamic ranges and wherein the device comprises:
at least one processor; and
at least one memory having stored instructions operative, when executed by the at least one processor, to cause the device to, in response to a determination that a graphic is to be overlaid on a decoded image:
select a recovery mode according to an information data indicating how the parameters have been processed;
recover the parameters by applying the selected recovery mode; and
reconstruct image data based on the decoded image data and the recovered parameters, comprising at least inverse mapping of luminance of the decoded image data and chroma correcting of the decoded image data;
wherein the decoded image data and the reconstructed image data have different dynamic ranges.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the information data is explicitly signaled by a syntax element in a bitstream.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the information data is implicitly signaled.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the information data identifies the processing that is applied to the original image data to process the parameters.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein selecting the recovery mode comprises selecting a recovery mode based on at least one characteristic of the original image data or of a mastering display used to grade the original image data, or at least one characteristic of the reconstructed image data or of a target display.

### Claim 7

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to reconstruct image data representative of original image data from decoded image data and parameters obtained from a bitstream, the parameters having been processed from the original image data, by:
in response to a determination that a graphic is to be overlaid on a decoded image:
selecting a recovery mode according to information data indicating how the parameters have been processed;
recovering the parameters by applying the selected recovery mode; and
reconstructing image data based on the decoded image data and the recovered parameters, comprising at least inverse mapping of luminance of the decoded image data and chroma correcting of the decoded image data;
wherein the decoded image data and the reconstructed image data have different dynamic ranges.

### Claim 8 (depends on 2)

The device of claim 2, wherein the information data is explicitly signaled by a syntax element in a bitstream.

### Claim 9 (depends on 2)

The device of claim 2, wherein the information data is implicitly signaled.

### Claim 10 (depends on 2)

The device of claim 2, wherein the information data identifies the processing that is applied to the original image data to process the parameters.

### Claim 11 (depends on 2)

The device of claim 2, wherein selecting the recovery mode comprises selecting a recovery mode based on at least one characteristic of the original image data or of a mastering display used to grade the original image data, or at least one characteristic of the reconstructed image data or of a target display.
