HDR Vivid (CUVA) Plot – Release Notes
Added
-
Implemented direct decoding of CUVA HDR Vivid bitstream fields from T.35 payloads stored in BIN files, extracting 12-bit minimum, average, variance, and maximum luminance values.
-
Added PQ (ST 2084) domain plotting for luminance visualization, providing perceptually accurate brightness representation consistent with HDR Vivid signaling.
-
Introduced a custom PQ-scaled Y axis with fixed luminance key points ranging from 0.01 to 10,000 nits, labeled in absolute nits.
-
Added area-based luminance visualization:
- Maximum luminance curve (MaxCLL-like behavior) with semi-transparent fill.
- Average luminance curve (MaxFALL-like behavior) layered above.
-
Implemented a high-resolution plot layout (3000×1200) with tuned margins, typography, and grid density for long-form content analysis.
-
Added a top-left informational overlay displaying:
- BIN filename
- Total number of entries
- Missing entry count
- Invalid HDR Vivid payload count
- Luminance scaling reference (4095 → 1000 nits)
-
Added graceful handling of missing or empty BIN entries, inserting a safe luminance floor to preserve plot continuity.
Changed / Improved
- Reworked plot generation to use decoded HDR Vivid metadata values instead of raw payload byte statistics, ensuring semantic correctness.
- Replaced logarithmic nits scaling with true PQ-domain mapping, aligning the plot with professional HDR Vivid analysis expectations.
- Improved legend content to report computed peak and average luminance statistics derived only from valid entries.
- Enhanced grid styling (major and minor lines) and axis labeling for improved readability on dense timelines.
- Standardized plot appearance to provide a clean, consistent HDR Vivid–focused visualization, independent of any external metadata formats.
Fixed
- Fixed incorrect luminance interpretation caused by using raw payload byte maxima instead of decoded 12-bit HDR Vivid fields.
- Fixed instability in low-luminance regions by introducing a minimum PQ floor, preventing zero or negative values in the plot.
- Prevented crashes and misleading graphs when BIN files contain empty, truncated, or malformed HDR Vivid payloads.
- Ensured invalid CUVA payloads (incorrect country code, provider code, or system start code) are excluded from statistics and explicitly reported in the plot overlay.
