Backward compatible opto-electrical transfer function for HDR video coding based on rational quantization

Abstract: In this paper, we propose a backward compatible opto-electronic transfer function (OETF) for high dynamic range (HDR) video coding based on rational quantization. Hybrid log gamma (HLG) OETF ...
