85‐1: Visually Lossless Compression of High Dynamic Range Images: A Large‐Scale Evaluation

High‐dynamic range displays provide impressive image quality, but require markedly higher bandwidth. Here we report results of the first large‐scale subjective assessment of HDR image compression. We applied the ISO/IEC 29170‐2 flicker paradigm to evaluate two state‐of‐the art VESA codecs (DSC v1.2a, pre‐release version of VDC‐M) at several compression levels.
