ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR ENCODING VIDEO, AND CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18380130 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR ENCODING VIDEO, AND CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an electronic device that includes a camera and a processor. The processor is designed to capture a video with a maximum luminance and then convert it into two additional videos with progressively lower maximum luminance levels using different tone mapping functions. The processor also stores metadata related to the tone mapping functions used for each video.

  • The electronic device includes a camera and a processor.
  • The processor captures a video with a maximum luminance.
  • The processor converts the video into two additional videos with lower maximum luminance levels using different tone mapping functions.
  • The processor stores metadata related to the tone mapping functions used for each video.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • This technology can be used in smartphones, tablets, or other electronic devices with cameras to enhance the quality of captured videos by adjusting the luminance levels.
  • It can be used in video editing software or applications to provide users with different options for tone mapping and luminance adjustments.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • This technology addresses the issue of videos with high luminance levels, which can result in overexposed or washed-out footage.
  • It provides a solution for adjusting the luminance levels of videos to improve their visual quality and make them more visually appealing.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Users can capture videos with better visual quality by adjusting the luminance levels according to their preferences.
  • The ability to convert videos into multiple versions with different luminance levels provides flexibility in post-processing and editing.
  • The stored metadata allows for easy retrieval and reference to the tone mapping functions used for each video, facilitating consistent editing and adjustments.


Original Abstract Submitted

According to various embodiments, an electronic device includes at least one camera and at least one processor. The processor is configured to acquire, through the at least one camera, a first video of which the maximum luminance is a first luminance, check a first tone mapping function for converting the first video into a second video of which the maximum luminance is a second luminance that is lower than the first luminance, and check a second tone mapping function for converting the first video into a third video of which the maximum luminance is a third luminance that is lower than the second luminance. The processor is configured to relate, to the first video, first metadata based on the first tone mapping function and second metadata based on the second tone mapping function and store same.
