description The evolution of display technologies makes high dynamic range/wide color gamut (HDR/WCG) media of great interest in various applications including cinema, TV, blue-ray titles, and others. However, the HDR/WCG media format for consumer electronics requires the sampling rate conversion of chroma signals, resulting in a quality problem on the luminance perception of media, even without compression. In order to reduce such luminance perception problems, this paper proposes a fast and reliable luma control scheme which takes advantage of the bounds on the best luma value derived from the solution based on truncated Taylor series. Simulations performed for an extensive comparison study demonstrate that the proposed algorithm significantly outperforms the previous representative fast luma control schemes, resulting in almost the same quality of the iterative optimal solution with a fixed amount of computations per processing unit.
