Abstract: To enable a good HDR image or video coding technology, being able to yield high dynamic range images as well as low dynamic range images, we invented a method of encoding a high dynamic range image (M_HDR), comprising the steps of: converting the high dynamic range image to an image of lower luminance dynamic range (LDR_o) by applying a) scaling the high dynamic range image to a predetermined scale of the luma axis such as [0,1], b) applying a sensitivity tone mapping which changes the brightnesses of pixel colors falling within at least a subrange comprising the darker colors in the high dynamic range image, c) applying a gamma function, and d) applying an arbitrary monotonically increasing function mapping the lumas resulting from performing the steps b and c to output lumas of the lower dynamic range image (LDR_o); and outputting in an image signal (S_im) a codification of the pixel colors of the lower luminance dynamic range image (LDR_o), and outputting in the image signal (S_im) values encoding the functional behavior of the above color conversions as metadata, or values for the inverse functions, which metadata allows to reconstruct a high dynamic range image (Rec_HDR) from the lower luminance dynamic range image (LDR_o).

Abstract: A method for pyramid vector quantization indexing of audio/video signals comprises obtaining (402) of an integer input vector representing the audio/video signal samples. A leading sign is extracted(404) from the integer input vector. The leading sign is a sign of a terminal non-zero coefficient in the integer input vector. The terminal non-zero coefficient is one of a first non-zero coefficient and a last non-zero coefficient in the integer input vector. The integer input vector is indexed (406) with a pyramid vector quantization enumeration scheme into an output index representing the audio/video signal samples. The pyramid vector quantization enumeration scheme is designed for neglecting the sign of the terminal non-zero coefficient. The output index and the leading sign are outputted (408). A corresponding method for de-indexing, an encoder, a decoder, and computer programs therefore are also disclosed.
