Image shaping in video coding using rate distortion optimization
The RDO-based signal shaping technique addresses inefficiencies in video encoding by adaptively assigning codewords to bins based on luminance variance, enhancing both visual quality and objective metrics while reducing complexity, suitable for standard and high dynamic range video content.

Abstract
To provide image reshaping in video coding using rate distortion optimization.SOLUTION: Given a sequence of images in a first codeword representation, a method, a process, and a system are presented for image reshaping using rate distortion optimization. Reshaping allows the images to be coded in a second codeword representation which allows more efficient compression than using a first codeword representation. A syntax method for signaling reshaping parameters is also presented.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2E
