Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Techniques for high dynamic range image processing are presented. Base layer data, first checksum parameter, and residual ratio data for a high dynamic range (HDR) image are each received. A second checksum parameter is computed for the base layer data based upon the first SOF after the last APP 11 marker segment and includes all following bytes up to and including the EOI marker. The first and second checksum parameters are compared to determine if base layer has been altered.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 - 9 . (canceled) 10 . A method for decoding with edit detection, the method comprising: receiving base layer data for a high dynamic range (HDR) image, the base layer data editable by a legacy image viewer; receiving a first checksum parameter in ASCII representation for the base layer data and embedded in an APP11 marker segment, the first checksum to be utilized by an HDR decoder and ignored by the legacy image viewer; receiving residual ratio data for the HDR image embedded in the APP11 marker segment; for the HDR decoder: computing a second checksum parameter for the base layer data; and comparing the first checksum parameter to the second checksum parameter. 11 . The method of claim 10 further comprising: receiving an encryption parameter in the APP11 marker segment; and utilizing the encryption parameter to decrypt the residual ratio data. 12 . The method of claim 11 wherein utilizing the encryption parameter to decrypt the residual ratio data is performed on a per segment basis. 13 . A method for encoding for edit detection, the method comprising: receiving a high dynamic range (HDR) image; determining base layer data and residual ratio data for the high dynamic range (HDR) image, the base layer data configured to be editable by a legacy image viewer; computing, by the encoder, a checksum parameter for the base layer data; and storing the checksum parameter as ASCII representation in an APP11 marker segment for HDR information, the HDR information ignored by the legacy image viewer. 14 . The method of claim 13 further comprising, storing an encryption parameter in the APP 11 marker segment for decryption of the residual ratio data. 15 . A method for decoding with edit detection, the method comprising: receiving base layer data for a high dynamic range (HDR) image, the base layer data editable by a legacy image viewer; receiving a first checksum parameter for the base layer data embedded in a segment for HDR information, the first checksum to be utilized by an HDR decoder and ignored by the legacy image viewer; receiving residual ratio data for the HDR image embedded in the segment for HDR information; for the HDR decoder: computing a second checksum parameter for the base layer data; and comparing the first checksum parameter to the second checksum parameter.
