Traditional SDR-to-HDR conversion often relies on static curves that can miss the nuance of a scene. Pascal will explore AI-based methods for converting SDR/SCG motion picture content to HDR/WCG by analysing specific image content. This presentation highlights content-adaptive and temporally consistent AI approaches designed to improve highlight detail, shadow rendering, and visual stability for high-quality HDR distribution.
