Method and device of converting a high dynamic range version of a picture to a standard-dynamic-range version of said picture
The present disclosure generally relates to a method and device of converting a HDR version of a picture to a SDR version of this picture. The method is characterized in that it converts the HDR version to the SDR version of the picture according to: a first indicator that indicates the presence of color mapping parameters; a second indicator that indicates whether a device is configured to convert the HDR version to the SDR version of the picture by taking into account said color mapping parameters; and a third indicator that indicates whether converting without taking into account said color mapping parameters is inhibited.
1. A method of converting a High-Dynamic-Range (HDR) version of a picture to a Standard-Dynamic-Range(SDR) version of the picture, the method comprising:
obtaining a first information data that indicates the presence of color mapping parameters used for converting the HDR version of the picture to the SDR version of the picture;
obtaining a second information data that indicates whether a device is configured to convert the HDR version of the picture to the SDR version of the picture by taking into account the color mapping parameters;
obtaining a third information data that indicates whether converting the HDR version of the picture to the SDR version of the picture without taking into account the color mapping parameters is inhibited; and
converting the HDR version of the picture to the SDR version of the picture according to the obtained information data.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first, second and/or third information data is obtained from a disk or a local memory or a remote memory via a communication network.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein a single information data (SI) represents the first and the third information data.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second information data is a flag.
5. A device for converting a High-Dynamic-Range (HDR) version of a picture to a Standard-Dynamic-Range (SDR) version of the picture, comprising:
a memory for storing a program; and
a processor configured to:
obtain a first information data that indicates the presence of color mapping parameters used for converting the HDR version of the picture to the SDR version of the picture;
obtain a second information data that indicates whether the device is configured to convert the HDR version of the picture to the SDR version of the picture by taking into account the color mapping parameters;
obtain a third information data that indicates whether converting the HDR version of the picture to the SDR version of the picture without taking into account the color mapping parameters is inhibited; and
convert the HDR version of the picture to the SDR version of the picture according to the obtained information data.
6. The device of claim 5 , further comprising an optical disk reader used to obtain, from a disk, at least one of said information data.
7. The device of claim 5 , further comprising an SDR display connected for displaying the SDR version of the picture.
8. The device of claim 5 , wherein the second information data is a flag.
9. A non-transitory computer program product stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium comprising program code instructions to execute the method according to claim 1 when this program is executed on a computer.
10. A non-transitory processor-readable medium having stored therein instructions for causing a processor to perform at least the following actions:
obtaining a first information data that indicates the presence of color mapping parameters used for converting a High-Dynamic-Range (HDR) version of a picture to a Standard-Dynamic-Range (SDR) version of the picture;
obtaining a second information data that indicates whether a device is configured to convert the HDR version of the picture to the SDR version of the picture by taking into account the color mapping parameters;
obtaining a third information data that indicates whether converting the HDR version of the picture to the SDR version of the picture without taking into account the color mapping parameters is inhibited; and
converting the HDR version of the picture to the SDR version of the picture according to the obtained information data.
