Definition

Chroma reconstruction restores full-color resolution from compressed formats that reduce color information.

Why It’s Needed

Many codecs store less color data than brightness data. Reconstruction algorithms rebuild missing color information during playback.

Impact

Higher-quality reconstruction produces more accurate edges and gradients.

Professional Insight

This process affects perceived color sharpness and overall image fidelity.
