Unobtrusive Motivation Estimation
17 Jun 20
In one embodiment, an apparatus, comprising: a memory comprising instructions; and one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to: receive first data corresponding to measurements of behavior of a user in the absence of a target behavior; receive second data corresponding to a measured behavior of the user relative to a target behavior, the target behavior representing an improvement in the behavior of the user corresponding to the first data; provide a first distribution for the second data; analyze the first distribution for asymmetry; estimate a level of motivation of the user based on the analysis; and provide the estimated level of motivation as a basis for a subsequent action.

Optimized Decoded High Dynamic Range Image Saturation
17 Jun 20
To enable better color and in particular color saturation control for HDR image handling systems which need to do luminance dynamic range conversion, e.g. from a SDR image to an image optimized for rendering on a display of higher display peak brightness and dynamic range, the inventors invented an apparatus (400) for processing a color saturation (C′bL, C′rL) of an input color (Y′L, C′bL, C′rL) of an input image (Im RLDR) to yield an output color (Y′M, Cb′M, Cr′M) of an output image (Im3000nit) corresponding to the input image, which output image is a re-grading of the input image characterized by the fact that its pixel colors have a different normalized luminance position (Y2) compared to the normalized luminance positions of the input colors (Y1), the normalized luminances being defined as the luminance of a pixel divided by the respective maximal codeable luminance of the image's luminance representation, whereby the ratio of the maximum codeable luminance of the input image and the maximum codeable luminance of the output image is at least 4 or larger, or ¼th or smaller, the apparatus comprising a luminance processor (401) arranged to apply a display tuned luminance mapping function (F_L_da) to determine an output luminance (Y′M) from the input luminance (Y′L) of the input color, the apparatus further comprising a saturation factor determination unit (402) arranged to calculate a final saturation processing strategy (b; Bcorr) based on an initial saturation processing strategy (F_sat) and based on a secondary luminance value (Y′_H) which is derivable from the output luminance (Y′M) by applying a luminance mapping function (F M2H) which is based on the luminance mapping function (F_L_s2h).

Graphics-safe HDR Image Luminance Re-grading
17 Jun 20
To allow pragmatic insertion of secondary images by an apparatus connected to the final display we invented an image processing apparatus (301, 501) with an output image connection (506) for connection to a display (550), and an input (510) for receiving an input image (IM) and metadata specifying at least one luminance mapping function (F_Lt), which luminance mapping function specifies the relationship between luminances in the input image and a second image with an at least 6 times higher or lower maximum luminance, and comprising a graphics generation unit (502) arranged to determine a secondary image (IMG), and an image composition unit (504) arranged to compose an output image (IMC) on the basis of the pixel colors of the input image and of the secondary image, characterized in that the image processing apparatus comprises a luminance function selection unit (505), which is arranged to output to a metadata output (507) a copy of the at least one luminance mapping function (F_Lt) in case no secondary image colors arc mixed with the input image, and which is arranged to output a predetermined mapping function (F3) in case the output image is not identical to the input image because some pixel colors of the secondary image have been used to change the input image colors.
