HDRkuvien
HDRkuvien is a hypothetical imaging concept that describes a method for capturing and rendering high dynamic range content by combining multi-exposure imaging with a per-pixel encoding scheme called kuvien. In this framework, a scene is captured using a sequence of exposures to cover the full luminance range, and the data are compressed into a per-pixel kuvien structure that jointly encodes luminance and chrominance information in a compact representation. The goal is to enable efficient storage and fast, artifact-minimized reconstruction on displays capable of wide color gamut and high brightness.
The kuvien encoding is designed to support hierarchical decoding, where lower-resolution representations provide quick previews and
Status and adoption: HDRkuvien is not an established standard or widely implemented technology. It appears in
