Abstract
Methods are described to communicate source color volume information in a coded bitstream using SEI messaging. Such data include at least the minimum, maximum, and average luminance values in the source data plus optional data that may include the color volume x and y chromaticity coordinates for the input color primaries (e.g., red, green, and blue) of the source data, and the color x and y chromaticity coordinates for the color primaries corresponding to the minimum, average, and maximum luminance values in the source data. Messaging data signaling an active region in each picture may also be included.
Claims2
An apparatus to generate source color volume information for an encoded bitstream, the apparatus comprising a processor, wherein the processor:
- encodes video pictures to generate an encoded bitstream;
- generates a supplemental enhancement information (SEI) message indicating source color volume information for the encoded bitstream, wherein the SEI message comprises:
- normalized x and y chromaticity coordinates of one or more color primary components in the encoded bitstream, and
- luminance value parameters comprising a minimum, a maximum, and an average luminance value, wherein the minimum, the maximum, and the average luminance values are for a picture or an active region of one or more coded pictures in the encoded bitstream;
- and
- generates a video stream that includes the encoded bitstream and the SEI message.
