About this version

hdr-canvas

This Module contains a collection of functions and classes to work with the HDR support for HTML canvas elements i chrome based browsers. This should only be considered as proof of concept or alpha code, don't use it in production environments.

Perfomance

This module is intended as a proof of concept (PoC), especially operations on the ImageData arrays are not optimized, e.g. quite slow.

Feature detection

Import the required function(s):

import { checkHDR, checkHDRCanvas } from "hdr-canvas";

Examples checkHDRCanvas()

The functions return true if HDR is supported, example:

const canvas = document.getElementById("canvas");
if (checkHDRCanvas()) {
  canvas.configureHighDynamicRange({ mode: "extended" });
} else {
  console.debug("hdr not supported");
  return;
}

Example checkHDRCanvas()

if (checkHDRCanvas()) {
  hdrCanvas.innerText = "HDR Canvas are supported";
  hdrCanvas.style.color = "green";
} else {
  hdrCanvas.innerText = "HDR Canvas are not supported";
  hdrCanvas.style.color = "red";
}

Canvas

The HDR canvas support is activated by initializing a canvas context using the following snippet:

const colorSpace = "rec2100-hlg";
canvas.configureHighDynamicRange({ mode: "extended" });
const ctx = canvas.getContext("2d", {
  colorSpace: colorSpace,
  pixelFormat: "float16",
});

Canvas setup

The snippet above is also available as function:

import { initHDRCanvas } from "hdr-canvas";

Importing Uint16Image

Afterwards one can use ImageData with a float16 array, first the Uint16Image needs to be imported:

import { Uint16Image } from "hdr-canvas";

Example: Loading an image

Thisexample assumes image to be a HTMLImageElement including an existing image.

const offscreen = new OffscreenCanvas(image.width, image.height);
const loadCtx = offscreen.getContext("2d");
loadCtx.drawImage(image, 0, 0);
const imData = loadCtx.getImageData(0, 0, image.width, image.height);
console.log(imData);

var hdrCanvas = document.createElement("canvas");
hdrCanvas.width = image.width;
hdrCanvas.height = image.height;

const rec210hglImage = Uint16Image.fromImageData(imData);

const ctx = initHDRCanvas(hdrCanvas);
ctx.putImageData(rec210hglImage.getImageData(), 0, 0);

Three.js WebGPU

Note: Make sure to have Three.js added as a dependency.

This is just a drop in replacement for the regular WebGPURenderer of Three.js.

import HDRWebGPURenderer from "hdr-canvas/three/HDRWebGPURenderer.js";

Use it as you'll do with a WebGPURenderer.

renderer = new HDRWebGPURenderer({ canvas: canvas, antialias: true });

TODO

The following things might be improved:

  • Try to detect change of screen for HDR detection
  • Improve speed
    • Provide WebWorker
