Abstract
A method of encoding a high dynamic range image (M_HDR), comprising the steps of: - converting the high dynamic range image into a low luminance dynamic range image (LDR_o) by applying: a) normalization of the image of high dynamic range at a luma axis scale that is [0, 1] giving a high normalized dynamic range image with normalized colors that have normalized luminance (Yn_HDR), b) calculate a gamma function on normalized luminance giving converted luminance with gamma (xg), c) apply a first tone mapping that gives lumas (v) that is defined as ** Formula **, with RHO having a predetermined value, and d) apply a monotonously increasing arbitrary tone mapping function that maps the lumas with output lumas (Yn_LDR) of the lower dynamic range image (LDR_o); and - emit, in an image signal (S_im), an encoding of the pixel colors of the lower luminance dynamic range image (LDR_o), and - emit, in the image signal (S_im), values encoding the function forms of previous color conversions bad as metadata, or values for their inverse functions, metadata that allow a receiver to reconstruct a reconstructed high dynamic range image (Rec_HDR) from the low luminance dynamic range image (LDR_o ), where RHO or a value that is a function of RHO is issued in the metadata.
