A tangible, non-transitory machine-readable medium includes machine-readable instructions that, when executed, cause processing circuitry to receive a signal indicative of high dynamic range content. The signal includes 1) a first portion that forms a first percentage of the signal and is associated with a first brightness range and 2) a second portion that forms a second percentage of the signal associated with a second brightness range. The instructions, when executed, are also configured to cause the processing circuitry to produce an adjusted signal to represent the signal such that a graphical representation of the adjusted signal includes an area corresponding to the first portion of the signal that is expanded relative to a graphical representation of the first portion of the signal. Furthermore, the instructions, when executed, are configured to cause the processing circuitry to cause display of a graphical representation of the adjusted signal.

There is provided with an image processing apparatus. An obtaining unit obtains a visible light image and an invisible light image of an imaging region. A first evaluation unit evaluates a brightness of the imaging region. A second evaluation unit evaluates noise in an object in the imaging region. A combining unit generates a combined image by combining the visible light image and the invisible light image. An output unit outputs either the combined image or the invisible light image in accordance with an evaluation result on the noise without outputting the visible light image in response to the brightness becoming lower than a first threshold during an operation of outputting the visible light image.

In a method to improve backwards compatibility when decoding high-dynamic range images coded in a wide color gamut (WCG) space which may not be compatible with legacy color spaces, hue and/or saturation values of images in an image database are computed for both a legacy color space (say, YCbCr-gamma) and a preferred WCG color space (say, IPT-PQ). Based on a cost function, a reshaped color space is computed so that the distance between the hue values in the legacy color space and rotated hue values in the preferred color space is minimized HDR images are coded in the reshaped color space. Legacy devices can still decode standard dynamic range images assuming they are coded in the legacy color space, while updated devices can use color reshaping information to decode HDR images in the preferred color space at full dynamic range.

Techniques for facilitating image color correction are provided. In one example, a method includes receiving an image. The method further includes determining, based at least on the image, a first scaling value and a second scaling value.
