Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of video transcoding, in particular to a master and standby information source switching method based on error detection of a decoder.
Background
With the development of internet technology, more and more websites can meet the watching requirements of audiences to the maximum extent through the integration of live network programs. The live video is characterized by real-time performance, so that the requirements on the picture quality and the continuity of the live video are high, and input information source faults or interfered packet loss are inevitable. The picture seen by the user will be displayed with a cockton mosaic, which results in missing important information, and this is often unacceptable. In order to enable a live video to have better continuity and picture quality, currently, a live service background mostly adopts a deployment mode of a main information source and a standby information source, two input information sources transcode simultaneously, and when one information source fails, the other information source can be seamlessly switched to so as to ensure the playing stability of the live video.
Specifically, a management server in a background of the live broadcast service receives a unified channel signal from different satellite receivers or other transcoders as a main source and a standby source, but a general transcoding server only considers switching to the standby source when the main source is interrupted.
In the actual online real-time transcoding situation, due to the fact that the situation of packet loss may exist in the front-end input information source, the output of the transcoder is subjected to screen splash and mosaic or frame loss and blocking, and user experience is seriously affected. In order to prevent sudden interruption of the signal sources in the live transcoding, a mode of simultaneously inputting the main signal source and the standby signal source is adopted to ensure the stability of the input signal sources. But normally the transcoder will switch to the alternate source only when the primary source is interrupted. When the main information source loses packets, the general transcoder can not directly switch the information source, so that the output code stream has mosaic, and the user experience is greatly influenced.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention provides a method for switching a main source and a standby source based on error detection of a decoder, which is used for ensuring the broadcasting quality and overcoming the defects in the prior art.

(3) the main and standby decoders output the decoded frame and simultaneously attach the error value of the current frame, and report the code stream error condition of the current information source to the transcoder;
(4) and the transcoder compares the possible influence range of the code stream error reported by the main and standby decoders within a period of time to determine whether to switch to the standby information source.

Preferably, in step (1), the primary and secondary decoders respectively perform real-time synchronous decoding on the input primary and secondary information sources, and simultaneously detect syntax errors and data loss existing in the code stream according to the video decoding standard specification.
Preferably, in step (2), when the decoder detects a sequence header error, it indicates that the current code stream has a fatal error, and the input data of the current whole sequence may be erroneous, so the total number N of macroblocks of the current frame is obtained, and the error value of the current frame is set to N.
Preferably, in step (2), when the decoder detects an image header error, it indicates that the current frame cannot be decoded, so that the total number N of macroblocks of the current frame is obtained, the error value of the current frame is set to N, if the current frame is directly discarded, output may have slight jamming, and meanwhile, a following frame may refer to the current frame, output may have long-time mosaic, so that to reduce the influence caused by a code stream error, decoding of the current frame is stopped immediately, and a previous frame of data is copied and output as the current frame.

(1) decoding the input main and standby information sources in real time, and detecting syntax errors and data loss in the code stream; the main decoder and the standby decoder respectively carry out real-time synchronous decoding on the input main source and the standby source, and simultaneously, the decoders detect syntax errors and data loss in code streams according to the video decoding standard;
(2) classifying and counting the code stream errors, and distributing different error values for the current frame according to different error points and possible influence ranges;
when a decoder detects a sequence head error, it indicates that a fatal error exists in a current code stream, and input data of a current whole sequence may be in error, so that the total number N of macro blocks of a current frame is obtained, and the error value of the current frame is set to be N;

when a decoder detects a macro block error, the current macro block cannot be decoded, and meanwhile, the residual macro blocks of the current frame cannot be correctly analyzed, so that the number M of the residual macro blocks of the current frame, which are decoded, is calculated, the error value of the current frame is set to be M, if the current frame is directly discarded, output is slightly blocked, and meanwhile, a later frame refers to the current frame, output is subjected to long-time mosaic, so that the decoding of the current frame is immediately stopped, and data at the same position of the previous frame is copied for the data of the current frame which is not decoded;
(3) the main and standby decoders output the decoded frame and simultaneously attach the error value of the current frame, and report the code stream error condition of the current information source to the transcoder; because different frame types have different influences on decoding, the I frame can influence the whole sequence, the P frame can influence all frames behind the current sequence P, and the B frame can only influence the B frame, so that the decoder multiplies different weights according to the frame type of the current frame, the weight of the I frame is 5, the weight of the P frame is 3, the weight of the B frame is 1, and then an error value is sent to the transcoder along with the decoded frame;
(4) the transcoder compares the possible influence range of the code stream error reported by the main and standby decoders within a period of time to determine whether to switch to the standby information source;
the transcoder counts error conditions reported by a main decoder and a standby decoder within 10 seconds, and if the main information source always reports decoding errors and the standby information source has no errors, the transcoder is switched to the standby information source immediately; if the standby information source always reports decoding errors and the main information source has no errors, switching is not needed; if the main and standby information sources report decoding errors, comparing the total error values M0 and N0 of the main and standby information sources within the time of 10 seconds, in order to avoid repeated switching of the main and standby information sources by the transcoder, the total error conditions M1 and N1 of the main and standby information sources within previous 2 minutes at the current time point need to be counted, if M0-N0 > thr0, and M1-N1 > thr1, switching to the standby information sources is carried out, and thr0 and thr1 are threshold values preset according to the size of an image.
The invention dynamically selects the information source with better and more stable quality to transcode and then push the transcoded information source to the user by detecting any code stream error of the main and standby information sources in real time, has high judgment accuracy, can find the signal abnormality of the main information source in time, switches to the standby information source in time, ensures the video transcoding quality, has no influence on the performance of a decoder, has high practical significance on the user experience of the video transcoding, greatly ensures the broadcasting quality, and improves the user experience. The invention can obviously improve the video quality under the condition that the main and standby information sources have abnormal fluctuation.
