Abstract

The present disclosure provides various aspects related to luma-driven chroma scaling for high dynamic range and wide color gamut contents. For example, a method of video data decoding may include obtaining video data, where the video data includes a scaled chroma component and a luma component, and where the scaled chroma component is scaled based on a chroma scaling factor that is a non-linear function of the luma component. The method may also include obtaining the chroma scaling factor for the scaled chroma component and generating a chroma component from the scaled chroma component based on the chroma scaling factor. In addition, the method may include outputting the chroma component, which may then be used for further processing.
