Specific embodiment
For compression of digital video, motion compensation interframe coding is a kind of effective compress technique, widely uses In multiple coding standards, such as MPEG-1/2/4 and H.261/H.263/H.264/AVC.In motion compensating system, motion is estimated Meter/compensation and subsequent compression are typically based on block and carry out in block.In compression procedure, damage behaviour due to employing as quantify Make, it is possible that coding noise.In rebuilding video data, particularly in block edge or adjacent edges, have obvious volume Code artifact.In order to reduce the explicitly of coding artifact, in the coding system such as said system of renewal H.264/AVC and HEVC system begins with a kind of technology being referred to as and deblocking.Process of deblocking adaptively is applied filtering in block edge, with Edge or the mutation of adjacent edges that smoothed code noise brings, and maintain the definition of image.Additionally, according to interframe encode Characteristic, the process of deblocking can be integrated in loop and be operated.
In HEVC system, in addition to deblocking filter, also it is referred to as auto-adaptive loop filter (ALF) using another Loop filter.Deblocking filter is only applied and block boundary, and sef-adapting filter then can apply to a frame (frame), All pixels in one domain (field), a piece of (slice) or a picture region.Traditional ALF is only applied to use wave filter High performance piece can be carried.High performance piece can not be carried for those using ALF and then not use ALF.When ALF is used, one Single filter SF is applied in a piece of interior block.This single filter is to choose to reach from one group of candidate To optimal performance, such as minimum distortion, minimum rate or R-D performance.Such ALF scheme is referred to as single sef-adapting filter side Case (SF ALF).In this, decoder is transferred to by the related information of selecting filter.To be transmitted or store to save this Information, this group ALF wave filter can be predefined, and this wave filter selects to represent using an index.As an alternative , this filter can be obtained in based on the time delay arrangement rebuilding video data.It is therefore not necessary to additional information (side information) or only need little additional information.Additionally, the relevant information of the wave filter being used can be reduced Instrument can also be used, such as:Encode this filter coefficient using entropy code and or transmit the difference of this coefficient.
Fig. 1 disclose one using adaptive loop filter and the coding system deblocked system block diagrams.Fig. 1 discloses tool There is the system square of the video encoder based on motion compensated prediction of function of deblocking.Compressibility 100 shows and typically regards Frequency encoder and (intra/inter-prediction) within the frame/frames prediction, transform/quantization (transformation/ Quantization) it is combined with entropy code (entropy coding), to produce compressed video data.Inputting video data (i.e. primary signal 112) enter encoder by input interface, and this primary signal 112 is entered by prediction module 110 within the frame/frames Row is processed.In intra prediction mode, the data of this input is predicted using encoded image in same frame or same domain. In inter-frame forecast mode, this prediction can be based on the previous reconstruction data 142 in sequential, wherein, this reconstruction data 142 quilt It is stored in reference picture buffers 140.This inter prediction can be a list 0 predictive mode, and wherein, this prediction is based on solution Image before the present image and in the first list of reference picture for the code order.This inter prediction can also be a list 1 Predictive mode, if this current slice (current slice) is a B- piece (B-slice), this inter prediction is suitable based on decoding Image before the present image and in the second list of reference picture for the sequence.This inter prediction can also be bi-directional predicted (bi- Prediction) pattern, if current slice is B- piece, this inter prediction is with reference to figure based on list 0 reference picture and list 1 Picture.In this inter-frame forecast mode, this within the frame/frames prediction module 110 this prediction data is provided to adder 115, and from This prediction data is deducted in this primary signal 112.The output of this adder 115 is referred to as forecast error 117, transform/quantization mould Block 120 carries out transform/quantization process to this forecast error 117 further.This transform/quantization module 120 is by this forecast error 117 Be converted to coded identification, processed further to produce compression output bit flow 132 (i.e. compression bit stream) by entropy code module 130 For storing or transmitting.(inverse DCT and inverse quantization, is represented by for inverse transformation/quantization IDCT/IQ) at module 160 forecast error 117 of this transform/quantization module 120 offer of reason to form reconstruction forecast error (reconstructed prediction error)162.In this inter-frame forecast mode, rebuild forecast error 162 and regard with reconstruction Frequency combines according to 119 to form this current reconstructed frame 152.In this intra prediction mode, this reconstruction forecast error 162 and same figure Previous reconstruction perimeter data superposition in picture.In this inter-frame forecast mode, this within the frame/frames prediction module 110 transmission this is pre- Survey signal 119 to rebuilding module 150, wherein, this reconstruction data 119 is according to the previous reconstructed frame in sequential or according to same It is inter-frame forecast mode or intra prediction mode that previous reconstruction perimeter data in image depends on.
This reconstruction data is stored in conduct in reference picture buffers 140 by deblocking module 170 and ALF180 after being processed The reference video data of reason subsequent picture.Original ALF in HEVC is block-based application.If it is (lower that this ALF can improve performance Distortion, lower bit rate, more preferable R-D performance), then this block opens ALF.Otherwise, this block closes ALF.A kind of ALF specification quilt Referred to as QC_ALF scheme, is to be proposed (in day in April, 2010 15-23, in Dresden, Germany by Qualcomm (Qualcomm) (Dresden) ITU-T SG16WP3 and ISO/IEC of the integration and cooperation group (JCT-VC) with regard to Video coding holding In the first session of JTC1/SC29/WG11, Karczewicz's et al. is entitled:" Qualcomm is with regard to the suggestion of Video coding Propose in book ", be recorded in document:JCTVC-A121).According to this QC_ALF, this ALF is applied to the video data that deblocks and is based on picture Element basis.Corresponding each piece, calculate improvement Laplace operator (i, the j) (Sum- of each pixel (i, j) in this block Modified Laplacian Measure (i, j), SLM (i, j)) as follows:
Wherein, this R (i, j) is the video data that deblocks.Calculate this SLM and be based on (2K+1) x (2L+1) centered on (i, j) Adjacent windows.This adjacent windows size can be 9x9,7x7,5x5or 3x3.In order to reduce complexity, using a size of 3x3's Adjacent windows.Calculate the SLM of each pixel of this block, this pixel is sorted out one of to M group.Refer to Fig. 2, It discloses sorts out this pixel to three groups according to this SLM value.In this QC_ALF scheme, filter according to each group selection one The device pixel related to this group is filtered.In order to reduce computational complexity, this ALF wave filter is typically horizontally or vertically right Claim.For example, using such as 9x9,7x7, or 5x5 such diamond mode filter, or as such in 5x5,3x3 square Wave filter.Each pixel is applied to based on the ALF of SLM, and different pixels will apply different wave filter.Therefore QC_ALF is same Sample is referred to as pixel-self adaptation (pixel-adaptive or pixel-adaptation, PA) ALF.Above-mentioned SF ALF It is considered a kind of special PAALF, it is only with one group of wave filter.
Although PAALF can adaptive based on pixel selection one wave filter, its remain a need for by decoder calculate SLM come Obtain the group information of each pixel, because demand additional information (side information) is encoded important information. Accordingly, it would be desirable to developing a kind of ALF scheme better performance can be realized and or reduces computational complexity.Therefore, the present invention takes off Reveal a kind of ALF specification of subregion basis (region based).According to the ALF scheme of the present invention, apply this ALF to deblock to this and regard Frequency is according to based on subregion basis.Divide a picture or image-region is multiple fixed blocks or forms multiple points with fixed block group Area.As replace, an image or image-region can be split or recurrence Ground Split is formed multiple subregions.Citing comes Say, recursively can divide a picture using four points of trees or image-region forms the plurality of subregion.Can set in grammer Put a mark to be used to indicate whether using subregion basis ALF or case of non-partitioned basis ALF.For example, one identify for Selected between subregion basis ALF and block basis (block based) ALF.The derivation of block basis filters can use picture The similar method of element basis ALF.For example, the method that Chong et al. describes one piece of basic ALF, will be all in 4 × 4 pieces The meansigma methodss of the activity value that the Laplace operator of pixel is calculated are as the single activity indicators of this 4x4 block.In in March, 2011 16-23 day, the ITU-T of the integration and cooperation group (JCT-VC) with regard to Video coding holding in Geneva, Switzerland (Geneva) In 5th meeting of SG16WP3 and ISO/IEC JTC1/SC29/WG11, Chong's et al. is entitled:" CE8 subject under discussion 2:It is based on Propose in the block of auto-adaptive loop filter (ALF) ", be recorded in document:JCTVC-E323.The method needs to calculate this 4 × 4 pieces The activity value of the Laplace operator of each pixel.Compared to pixel basis ALF although the method has no saving operand, but Block basis ALF can reduce the frequency of the different wave filter of switching of pixel basis ALF.Can also be replaced using other metering systems The activity value of Laplace operator as criteria for classification, such as:Band skew (band offset, BO) or edge offset (edge Offset, EO) it is used for exemplary adaptation skew (sample adaptive offset, SAO) it is also possible to make as criteria for classification Substituted with the disclosed SLM calculating method of Karczewicz et al..BO and EO, for SLM, needs less amount of calculation.
The example of one ALF based on subregion basis using block group, an image can be divided into the basic phase of 16 sizes Deng subregion.For example, the zoned width of a non-rightmost subregion can be (PicWidth/4), and wherein PicWidth is figure Image width degree.For rightmost subregion, this zoned width is then (PicWidth- (PicWidth/4) * 3).Non- bottommost subregion Height is then (PicHeight/4), and wherein PicHeight is picture altitude.Height for bottommost subregion is then (PicHeight-(PicHeight/4)*3).In this example, this rightmost subregion and bottommost subregion are likely larger than other Subregion.Another example, as shown in figure 3, an image segmentation is become 16 sizes of substantially equal based on LCU alignment (LCU-- Aligned subregion).Wherein, the border of this subregion must be then the border of maximum coding unit (LCU).The size of this image For 416x240, and comprise 7x4 LCU, wherein, each LCU comprises 64x64 pixel.The subregion width of this non-rightmost subregion Spend for (((PicWidthInLCUs+1)/4) * 64), wherein PicWidthInLCUs represents the wide LCU quantity of image.Non- bottom The height of subregion is (((PicHeightInLCUs+1)/4) * 64), and wherein, PicHeightInLCUs represents the high LCU of image Quantity.The size of this rightest subregion and bottommost subregion can be by picture traverse (PicWidth), picture altitude (PicHeight), the size of non-the rightest subregion and non-bottom subregion is derived from.One index is assigned to every 4x4 subregion.Make With 4x4 subregion as an example, the present invention is not limited to the example of this 4x4 subregion.In fact, the present invention can be divided using MxN Area.Wherein, M and N is integer.Its picture traverse of one image is PicWidthInSamples and picture altitude is PicHeightInSamples.Then the coordinate of the subregion index in each its upper left corner of subregion is that the subregion index of (x, y) can be as Lower derivation is learnt.(1 < < Log2MaxCUSize) is the size of maximum coding unit, and xMaxIndex and yMaxIndex is In maximum subregion index both horizontally and vertically.Corresponding, the horizontal interval x_interval of subregion and by stages vertical Interval y_interval can be learnt by following derivations of equation.

X_interval=((((PicWidthInSamples+ (1 < < Log2MaxCUSize) -1) > >
Log2MaxCUSize)+1) > > 2), and (6)
Y_interval=((((PicHeightInSamples+ (1 < < Log2MaxCUSize) -1) > >
Log2MaxCUSize)+1) > > 2). (7)
This horizontal index x_idx and this vertical index y_idx can be derived as follows:
X_idx=min (3, x/ (x_interval < < Log2MaxCUSize)), and (8)
Y_idx=min (3, y/ (y_interval < < Log2MaxCUSize)). (9)

Two adjacent sectors, the subregion such as with continuity index can be merged.After subregion merges, dividing after each merging Area applies a wave filter.This image can use ALF, block-based ALF based on pixel or based on the ALF of subregion at Reason.Compared to the ALF based on pixel and block-based ALF, the ALF based on subregion can save that self adaptation pixel carries out based on The classified counting of pixel and the block-based calculating being carried out based on adaptive block, accordingly, when using the ALF based on subregion, solution That average computational load of code device also accordingly reduces.Further, what the ALF based on subregion was significant decreases turning of image median filter Change number of times, therefore conversion power consumption is less.Fig. 4 discloses between supporting in the ALF based on subregion with based on the ALF of pixel and is selected Select, or carry out the grammar design of selection between the ALF based on subregion and block-based ALF.Unique grammer is changed into Increase by a mark (region_adaptation_flag) in head parameter devices alf_param () of ALF or in image ginseng Counting apparatus (PPS) are to be selected between the ALF based on subregion and block-based ALF.
Carry out subregion merging and can improve coding efficiency further.Adjacent sectors are likely to be of similar feature and can share Same wave filter is to reduce instruction ALF wave filter information needed.A kind of method that execution subregion merges be by 2-D region and extremely 1-D region.For example, this 4x4 subregion can be converted into the 1-D subregion using packet index 0-15.Execute this 2-D Being converted into 1-D can be according to a special scan pattern.There is scan pattern known to many can be used for changing 2-D subregion Become 1-D subregion.Deformation hibert curve (deformed Hilbert curve) as shown in Figure 5, the horizontal Serpentiss shown in Fig. 6 Scanning (horizontal snake scan), vertical Serpentiss scanning (vertical snake scan) shown in Fig. 7, shown in Fig. 8 Z-type Serpentiss scanning (zig-zag scan), the helical scanning (spiral scan) shown in Fig. 9, four shown in Figure 10 point tree scanning Grid scanning (raster scan) shown in (quad-tree scan) and Figure 11.Changing this 2-D subregion to this 1-D subregion When, adjacent subregion, can be combined to share same filtering as merged the subregion with continuity index indicated by representation Device.For example, merge, using one, the subregion whether subregion that mark one sign group index is n is (n-1) with group index to merge.
Representation execution subregion can also be merged using 2-D to merge, wherein one subregion can be merged with the subregion near. Further, first, whether merged indicate this subregion using one first, if this first mark indicates that this subregion is closed And, then a merging candidate identification will be used.Under certain conditions, partial-partition nearby can not be by as merging candidate. As having merging qualifications for being elected in image or in the borderline subregion of 4x4.Therefore, this merging candidate identification is permissible Make the change of adaptivity based on the availability of adjacent sectors.For example, this merging candidate's subregion can for one left side or Top subregion, and the mark of one 1 bits is used as merging candidate identification.If however, left side and top subregion are not simultaneously Exist, then this merging candidate identification can be omitted.Therefore, this merging candidate identification can availability based on this adjacent sectors from Adaptive change.When some adjacent sectors are invalid, this merging candidate identification then shows as less bit.This subregion closes And self adaptation is applied to every 4x4 partition group.Merge enable mark (enable flag) using a subregion and indicate this 4x4 subregion Subregion whether is allowed to merge.
Subregion for ALF filtering can also be considered as a filter unit (filterunit, FU).If segmentation enables Better performance, then an image or image-region less filter unit can be divided into by recurrence, such as lower rate is lost Very (rate-distortion, R-D) cost.One can be calculated and will be filtered this R-D cost of subregion and dividing that calculating is divided into This R-D cost in area.If segmentation can realize low R-D cost, this will be filtered subregion will be divided.Otherwise do not split this Subregion.As an alternative, an image or image-region can also be first separated into less subregion.Adjacent sectors can be by If merge enabling better performance, as lower R-D cost.If the R-D cost of the subregion after merging is less than solely The R-D cost of vertical subregion, then this subregion merge, otherwise nonjoinder.According to embodiments of the invention, several general can be merged One filter unit is formed to reduce the bit rate of filter information by filtering subregion.
Refer to Figure 12, be the example of a subregion segmentation.One subregion (filter unit FU1210) is divided into 5 subregions (FUs1220), as F0, F1, F2, F3No filter subregion.The segmentation of this subregion can be carried out according to low R-D cost.Figure 13 is this Invention carries out the example of subregion merging.Become and should will be considered to merge into 3 subregions by filtering subregion 1310 according to low R-D 1320, respectively F0’、F1' and a reactive filter subregion.Subregion F0And F2It is merged into F0', subregion F1And F3It is merged into F1’.
Figure 14 discloses the example of the grammar design supporting 2-D subregion to merge.Subregion merges alf_fs_selection_ Param (r, c) function describes the message of subregion merging.This ALF merges mark (alf_merge_flag) and represents this current bay Whether (FU as in the present embodiment) is merged with other subregions.Its intermediate value 1 represents that this current bay merges, and value 0 mark should Current bay is not merged with left side or top subregion.The filtering of this current bay is then added when this current bay is merged Device setting index (alf_fu_filter_set_idx).The general filter index of first subregion of this image is preset as 0, and nothing Decoder end need to be sent to.This syntactic element alf_merge_up_flag represents the subregion whether with its top-direction for this subregion Merge, its intermediate value 0 represents that current bay is merged with the FU in left side, value 1 represents that current bay is merged with the subregion above it.
