Perceptual quantizer

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

The perceptual quantizer (PQ), published by

EOTF (i.e. the gamma curve of SDR), while HLG
is compatible.

PQ is a non-linear transfer function based on the human visual perception of banding and is able to produce no visible banding in 12 bits.[14] A power function (used as EOTFs in standard dynamic range applications) extended to 10000 cd/m2 would have required 15 bits.[14]

Technical details

The PQ EOTF (

electro-optical transfer function) is as follows:[7][15]

The PQ inverse EOTF is as follows:

where

  • is the non-linear signal value, in the range .
  • is the displayed luminance in cd/m2
  • is the normalized linear displayed value, in the range [0:1] (with representing the peak luminance of 10000 cd/m2)
