Abstract
A method of compressing a picture sequence in which a first set of pictures in the sequence, and a second set of pictures interleaved with the first set of pictures in the sequence are identified, and in which the first set of pictures are coded to a high coding quality and the second set of pictures are coded to a quality determined by the remaining bitrate resources. Downstream the first set of pictures can be extracted to produce a separate high quality picture sequence. The compression coding is preferably MPEG based, and control of the coding quality may be achieved by varying quantizer weighting matrix values in a linear combination of a flat matrix and a default non-flat matrix.
Description
MANIPULATION OF VIDEO COMPRESSION
This invention is directed to the compression of picture sequences, and in particular aspects to the manipulation of compression techniques in controlling the relative quality of pictures of an image sequence.
Methods for video sequence compression are well known to the art, and 5 amongst these, techniques exist for varying the coding quality.
It is an object of the present invention to provide novel and flexible techniques for manipulating the compression of image sequences.
Accordingly, the invention consists in one aspect in a method of compressing a picture sequence in which a first set of pictures occurs in a 10 regular pattern in the sequence, and pictures of a second set of pictures occur intermediate pictures of the first set of pictures, comprising coding the first set of pictures to a high coding quality, and coding the second set of pictures to quality determined by remaining bitrate resources.
Suitably, the first set of pictures are coded independently of said second 15 intermediate set of pictures.
Advantageously, the compression algorithm is MPEG based.
In one form of the invention, the bit-rate of the second intermediate set of pictures is controlled by varying quantizer weighting matrix values. Suitably, said quantizer weighting matrix values are a linear combination of the values of a flat 20 weighting matrix and a default, non-flat matrix Advantageously, a fixed number of bits are generated for the period covered by one picture of the first set of pictures and the associated intermediate pictures. In another aspect, the invention provides a method of video signal 25 compression, comprising the steps of receiving a video signal, performing a transform on the video signal, and quantizing the transformed signal, wherein the step of quantizing comprises applying a variable quantization matrix, the variation of which matrix controlled by a parameter relating to the compression bit rate.
- 2 Preferably, the parameter is dependent upon the number of bits required for a current picture. Suitably, the method comprises determining the number of bits required for a current picture according to a regular pattern.
In yet another aspect, the invention consists in a system for compressing 5 a picture sequence, comprising: means for compressing the picture sequence to give a compressed sequence wherein a first set of pictures have a high coding quality, and wherein a second set of pictures, constituent pictures of which are intermediate pictures of the first set, have a lower coding quality; and downstream, means for separating the first set of pictures from the sequence, 10 and playing the first set of pictures as a separate high quality picture sequence.
In still another aspect, the invention provides a compressed signal comprising a first sequence of high quality pictures interleaved with a second sequence of lower quality pictures, the first sequence being separable from the signal to form a video signal, the second sequence of pictures being for use in 15 editing or further processing of the video signal.
The invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: Figure 1 is a diagram illustrating apparatus according to an embodiment of 20 one aspect of the invention; and Figure 2 is a diagram illustrating the function of a method according to an embodiment of another aspect of the invention.
25 The particular example of use of the invention described hereafter concerns the capture of high-frame-rate, high-definition image sequences in an environment where there are limitations in sampling, storage or transmission bandwidth or in processing complexity. It describes a method of compressing high-frame-rate, high-definition image sequences with very little loss of quality.
30 The method ensures that the highest possible quality is retained for a temporally
subsampled version of the input sequence, while allowing some loss of quality for intermediate frames according to the available coded bit-rate.
The invention also concerns the use of picture signals having a high quality at a low frame rate together with those having a lower quality at a higher 5 frame rate, as a means for reducing the overall sampling, storage or transmission bandwidth of the picture information. In the prior art, the different quality of the
two kinds of image is expressed in terms of resolution. Thus, for example in German patent DE-A-41 32 359, a high-definition 25 Hz sequence is multiplexed with a standard-definition 100 Hz sequence. Motion information may be derived 10 from both sequences and used for motion- compensated conversion of the high-
definition sequence to the higher frame rate or indeed to any other frame rate.
The prior art does not necessarily deliver the required combination of the
highest possible quality at the low frame rate together with an optimum trade-off between quality, bit-rate and processing complexity for the higher-frame-rate 15 version of the sequence. For example, the method described in DE-A-41 32 359 relies on motion compensated up-conversion to restore the full resolution of the image at the higher frame rate.
In one embodiment of the invention, we begin with a high-definition (e.g. 1920 pixels by 1080 lines) picture signal with a frame rate of 72 Hz and with a 20 4:2:2 luminance and colour-difference sampling structure as used in the most common digital television sampling standards such as SMPTE 274M. With 8-bit sampling, the bit rate of such a signal is about 2. 4 GbiVs. Let us suppose that at some point in the subsequent processing chain there is a bit-rate limit of, say, 500 MbiVs. We require a method of compressing the signal into the output bit-
25 rate with the following properties: -A low-frame-rate (say 24 Hz) version of the input signal may be independently decoded with zero or negligible loss of quality 30 -The remaining input frames are transmitted with some quality loss, which should nevertheless be minimized. The decoding of these frames may be
- 4 allowed to depend upon that of the 24 Hz frames, because subsequent processing of those frames may also depend on the 24 Hz frames.
Figure 1 is a top-level illustration of the invention. This method has a 5 number of advantages. The frames which are intermediate the "key" frames (every third) need not be sub-sampled - they are simply coded at a lower quality.
The method also preserves the key frames to that degree of quality required at the output. For example, the output may require a 24Hz high definition signal.
Typically, the total bit rate assigned to the remaining, intermediate frames will 10 depend on that required for the high quality frames, and the remaining bit rate allowed by the transmission channel used. However, these intermediate frames need not be coded in dependence, in terms of picture content, upon the key frames, in the sense that normal P and B frames of MPEG are dependent upon prediction from nearby I frames.
15 Any of a number of known compression techniques could be used to perform the actual compression, once the key frames are chosen and the quality level set. For instance, if full resolution were retained for every third frame and the other two frames subsampled by 2:1 horizontally and vertically, the overall bit rate could be reduced to 1.2 GbiVs. Alternatively, an established compression 20 scheme such as MPEG-2 or JPEG could be used. In this case, there would be a small but possibly significant loss of quality to all input frames, not just the intermediates. A particular embodiment makes use of MPEG-2 for the compression of the source picture sequence using a novel method for ensuring that the highest 25 possible quality is retained for the lowframe-rate signal, which in this example is every third frame. This can be done by encoding this "key frame" as an l-frame with a very fine quantizer and a flat quantizer weighting matrix. The remaining bits are allocated to the other two "intermediate" frames, which may be coded either as l-frames or as B-frames with or without motion compensation.
30 Downstream of a coding process according to any of these methods, the key frames may be separated from the intermediate frames, should only the
- 5 24Hz sequence (for example) be required. In one example, the pictures of the sequence intermediate the key frames are coded to provide a browse track to accompany the key frame sequence. This browse may then be separated from the key frames, as a separate sequence, though here the "holes" represented by 5 the key frames may required interpolation, or some down conversion of the key frame. In many circumstances it will be necessary to reduce the coding quality of these intermediate frames in order to meet the bit-rate target. The conventional way to control the bit-rate in MPEG-2 coding is to vary the quantizer scale 10 parameter. Unfortunately, at high quality levels the control available is very coarse. For example, changing the quantizer scale from 1 to 2 will quadruple the quantizing noise power and will typically reduce the number of bits generated for a given area of the picture by 40%. In the present invention, finer control of the bit rate and coding quality is achieved by modifying the quantizer weighting 15 matrix. There now follows an example of how such a modified matrix may be derived, in the case of intra-frame coding: Let f be the value of the elements of a flat quantizer weighting matrix.
Let we be the elements of a typical quantizer weighting matrix designed to 20 balance the visibility of quantizing noise across the spectrum of the picture (an example being the MPEG-2 default intra matrix).
Let a be a bit-rate control parameter.
Then the values us of the matrix actually used for the frame being coded 25 are given by uij = (l - Of + ij Thus, the variation of the control parameter implements a cross-fade between a flat matrix and a subjectively iossless one. A value = 0 corresponds 30 to the flat matrix and a = 1 to the default matrix. A value of between O and 1
- 6 gives a matrix which leads to subjectively lossless coding in normal viewing conditions, while a value > 1 may lead to some subjective loss.
Figure 2 illustrates how the weighting matrix may vary according to the control parameter. In the graph, a one-dimensional section of the matrix is 5 plotted for simplicity.
For a given intermediate frame, the value of the control parameter cr can be calculated using an existing model of the relationship between Liz and the number of bits generated. The number of bits actually used can serve in calculating a correction to the model for subsequent intermediate frames. The 10 bit-rate control may be run using a first-in first-out buffer as is well known.
Alternatively, the control may aim to generate a fixed number of bits for each group of three frames, so that the 24 Hz picture may be extracted more easily.
For both the key frames and the intermediate frames, well-known fallback methods of bit-rate control may be employed to ensure that the bit-rate target is 15 met and that the coding quality is acceptable both for the key frames and for the intermediate frames.
It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the invention has been described by way of example only, and that a wide variety of alternative approaches may be adopted.
