Lightning-Fast Dual-Layer Lossless Coding for Radiance Format High Dynamic Range Images

This paper proposes a fast dual-layer lossless coding for high dynamic range images (HDRIs) in the Radiance format. The coding, which consists of a base layer and a lossless enhancement layer, provides a standard dynamic range image (SDRI) without requiring an additional algorithm at the decoder and can losslessly decode the HDRI by adding the residual signals (residuals) between the HDRI and SDRI to the SDRI, if desired. To suppress the dynamic range of the residuals in the enhancement layer, the coding directly uses the mantissa and exponent information from the Radiance format. To further reduce the residual energy, each mantissa is modeled (estimated) as a linear function, i.e., a simple linear regression, of the encoded-decoded SDRI in each region with the same exponent. This is called simple linear regressive mantissa estimator. Experimental results show that, compared with existing methods, our coding reduces the average bitrate by approximately $1.57$-$6.68$ % and significantly reduces the average encoder implementation time by approximately $87.13$-$98.96$ %.
