Near lossless compression scheme and system for processing high dynamic range (HDR) images

摘要

An apparatus for a near lossless compression scheme is described herein. The apparatus includes an image processing pipeline and a compressor. The image processing pipeline is to apply a plurality of processing stages to high dynamic range images to output a plurality of intermediate processed images, wherein each image comprises a plurality of pixel components. The compressor is to generate compression tiles of the plurality of intermediate processed images, wherein each output of the plurality of processing stages is compressed independently of the other processing stage.
