A method comprising: obtaining an histogram of a current SDR picture, the histogram comprising bins, a bin associating a sample value to a number of occurrences of the sample value in the current SDR picture; determining a current state value representative of the current SDR picture from at least one most representative bin of the histogram, the most representative bin being the bin of the histogram representing the highest number of samples of the current SDR picture; identifying a profile in a set of a plurality of profiles corresponding to the determined current state value, each profile of the plurality being associated to an expansion function; and, applying an inverse tone mapping to the current SDR picture using the expansion function associated with the identified profile to obtain a HDR picture.

A method comprising:
The method of claim 1, wherein the first histogram is obtained from a second histogram of the current SDR picture comprising a second number of bins, the first number of bins being less than the seconds number of bins.
The method according to claim 1, wherein at least one second most representative bin is determined from the first histogram, a second most representative bin being a bin of the first histogram different from the most representative bin representing one of the highest number of samples of the current SDR picture, each determined most representative bin being used to identify determine the first state value.
The method of claim 1, comprising, responsive to at least one second intermediate state value is determined from the set of allowed transitions, identifying a third profile in the plurality of profiles for each second determined intermediate state value, and applying an inverse tone mapping to SDR pictures following the current SDR picture using expansion functions associated to each identified third profiles to obtain a corresponding HDR picture.
The method of claim 1, wherein the expansion function used for the inverse tone mapping of the current SDR picture is based on the expansion function associated to the first or second profile and on at least one expansion function determined for a SDR picture preceding the current SDR picture.
A device comprising electronic circuitry configured for:
The device of claim 6, wherein the first histogram is obtained from a second histogram of the current SDR picture comprising a second number of bins, the first number of bins being less than the second number of bins.
The device according to claim 6, wherein at least one second most representative bin of the first histogram is determined, the second most representative bin being a bin of the first histogram different from the most representative bin representing one of the highest number of samples of the current SDR picture, each determined most representative bin being used to determine the state value.
The device of claim 8, wherein, responsive to at least one second intermediate state value is determined from the set of allowed transitions, the electronic circuitry is further configured for identifying a third profile in plurality of profiles for each second determined intermediate state value, and applying an inverse tone mapping to SDR pictures following the current SDR picture using expansion functions associated to the identified third profiles to obtain the HDR pictures.
The device of claim from claim 6, wherein the expansion function used for the inverse tone mapping of the current SDR picture is based on the expansion function associated to the first or second profile and on at least one expansion function determined for a SDR picture preceding the current SDR picture.
