Remarks

Gainmap represents a mechanism for augmenting an SDR image to produce an HDR one with variable display adjustment capability. It is a combination of a set of metadata describing how to apply the gainmap, as well as either a 1 (such as android.graphics.Bitmap.Config#ALPHA_8 or 3 (such as android.graphics.Bitmap.Config#ARGB_8888 with the alpha channel ignored) channel Bitmap that represents the gainmap data itself.

When rendering to an android.content.pm.ActivityInfo#COLOR_MODE_HDR activity, the hardware accelerated Canvas will automatically apply the gainmap when sufficient HDR headroom is available.

<h3>Gainmap Structure</h3>

The logical whole of a gainmap'd image consists of a base Bitmap that represents the original image as would be displayed without gainmap support in addition to a gainmap with a second enhancement image. In the case of a JPEG, the base image would be the typical 8-bit SDR image that the format is commonly associated with. The gainmap image is embedded alongside the base image, often at a lower resolution (such as 1/4th), along with some metadata to describe how to apply the gainmap. The gainmap image itself is then a greyscale image representing the transformation to apply onto the base image to reconstruct an HDR rendition of it.

As such these "gainmap images" consist of 3 parts - a base Bitmap with a Bitmap#getGainmap() that returns an instance of this class which in turn contains the enhancement layer represented as another Bitmap, accessible via #getGainmapContents()<h3>Applying a gainmap manually</h3>

When doing custom rendering such as to an OpenGL ES or Vulkan context, the gainmap is not automatically applied. In such situations, the following steps are appropriate to render the gainmap in combination with the base image.

Suppose our display has HDR to SDR ratio of H, and we wish to display an image with gainmap on this display. Let B be the pixel value from the base image in a color space that has the primaries of the base image and a linear transfer function. Let G be the pixel value from the gainmap. Let D be the output pixel in the same color space as B. The value of D is computed as follows:

First, let W be a weight parameter determining how much the gainmap will be applied.

W = clamp((log(H)                      - log(minDisplayRatioForHdrTransition)) /
                        (log(displayRatioForFullHdr) - log(minDisplayRatioForHdrTransition), 0, 1)

Next, let L be the gainmap value in log space. We compute this from the value G that was sampled from the texture as follows:

L = mix(log(ratioMin), log(ratioMax), pow(G, gamma))

Finally, apply the gainmap to compute D, the displayed pixel. If the base image is SDR then compute:

D = (B + epsilonSdr) * exp(L * W) - epsilonHdr

In the above math, log() is a natural logarithm and exp() is natural exponentiation. The base for these functions cancels out and does not affect the result, so other bases may be used if preferred.
