Description

Local motion vector modification method in MEMC technology
Technical field
The present invention relates to image processing techniques, more specifically, relate to local motion vector modification method in a kind of MEMC technology.
Background technology
Motion estimation motion compensates (Motion estimation and motion compensation, MEMC) technology is a kind of frame rate conversion generally adopted at present, be applied in the video systems such as television equipment, shake and the tailing problem of motion picture can effectively be eliminated or improve to this technology.Estimation is one of its key technology, and the interpolated frame that correct motion estimation result generates can give good visual experience, and the motion estimation result of mistake can affect viewing effect on the contrary, brings even worse viewing effect than original dither.The effect of estimation associates greatly with the scene content of primitive frame, has a lot of scene can not obtain correct motion search result under general MEMC technology, such as compound movement, and wisp moves, scene etc. of being fade-in fade-out.
Prior art realizes, according to the result that motion estimation motion compensates, under judging this scene by various index, whether estimation lost efficacy, the motion vector obtained is also unreliable, then interpolated frame no longer adopts the result of motion compensation, but selects primitive frame or primitive frame weighted blend (blending) result.But some scene only has local motion estimation effect bad, whole frame fallback (moves back as original input frame or primitive frame weighted results, but not the interpolation result that compensates of motion estimation motion) although avoid the fragmentation that wrong motion estimation may bring afterwards, visual experience is still good not.
Summary of the invention
The present invention is directed to the technical problem existed in above-mentioned prior art, local motion vector modification method in a kind of MEMC technology is provided, can when motion search local be good not, bad motion vector is replaced by adopting the reasonable motion vector of periphery, even if although the motion vector replaced also may not be correct motion vector, but utilize the interpolated frame that level and smooth motion vector generates, visual effect is better, easily cover the phenomenons such as picture fragmentation.
For achieving the above object, the technical solution adopted in the present invention is as follows:
Local motion vector modification method in a kind of MEMC technology, comprises step as follows:
1) certain fixed area scope around it is specified to each block;
2) motion vector of all block and the accuracy of this motion vector within the scope of this is obtained;
3) from those motion vectors seletion calculation go out one accurately and reliably motion vector as replacement motion vector;
4) whether accurately and reliably analysis judges the motion vector of current block, calculates a weighted average coefficients;
5) block motion vector originally and its replaced motion vector weighting with this weighted average coefficients and go out the final motion vector of a new motion vector as current block.
Described step 1), MEMC technology carries out estimation based on block, and image is split by block, to specify around current computing block a region containing N × M block, this region should also contains current block, N, M is integer, requires to select according to hardware implementing, algorithm.
Described piece of Similarity matching degree judges according to the index of the similarity degree of the corresponding blocks that can show motion vector.
Described index comprises absolute difference and criterion, mean-square error criteria, or according to position, candidate motion vector type, adds a penalty coefficient, the basis for estimation index obtained to the result of calculation of absolute difference sum criterion or mean-square error criteria.
Described absolute difference and criterion, i.e. sad value, sad value is less, and represent motion vector more accurately and reliably, sad value is larger, and Block-matching is poorer, and the accuracy of this motion vector is poorer, and its computing formula is as follows:
SAD=Σ(|p a(i)-p b(i)|)
P a(i) and P bi () refers to i-th pixel in the block a that compares and block b.
Motion vector refers in the scope represented by N × M block accurately and reliably, and block Similarity matching degree is relatively good, can the vector of this range motion of approximate representation.
One or several motion vectors selecting Block-matching degree best from N × M motion vector, final weighted calculation goes out a motion vector as replacement motion vector.
In N × M vector, compare the value calculated by above-mentioned error criterion, select the smaller X of a value vector, motion vector refers to the vector that X vector weighting obtains accurately and reliably, and X can be the integer being less than arbitrarily N × M, X=1,2,3 ....
Described step 4) whether reliable, be that this region can be the scope of the Z × Z-block comprised centered by current block with reference to the convergence situation decision comprised in the territory, local cell of current block if analyzing the motion vector judging current block; Weighted average coefficients reaction be exactly the convergence situation of this zonule.
Matching criterior error meets the number of the block of certain condition, or often row minimum match error cumulative sum can represent the convergence situation in region, obtains weighted average coefficients with these Index Mappings.
Described step 5) in, the Index Mappings that weighted average coefficients can restrain situation by conversion zone is obtained (such as being mapped by one-dimensional linear curve), gained coefficient should be an integer, be convenient to two motion vectors be weighted and be averaging, when mapping relations are determined, the scope of coefficient is also determined;
Final motion vector=(Vec × (Range-alpha)+FB_Vec × alpha)/Range
Vec refers to block motion vector originally, and FB_Vec refers to the reliable motion vector of above-mentioned calculating, and namely replace motion vector, alpha refers to weighted average coefficients, and Range refers to the effective range of coefficient;
During alpha=0, illustrated block vector is originally better credible, without the need to changing; Alpha is larger, and originally vector is more insincere to show block, goes weighting to obtain a new good vector with another vector.
The present invention adopts above-mentioned technical scheme, and the beneficial effect brought is as follows:
MEMC technology has limitation under a lot of scene, the motion vector faulty convergence of indivedual block can cause the problems such as local fragmentation, shake, affect viewing experience, technical solution of the present invention, to those motion vectors that effect is bad always, the motion vector finding perimeter convergence correct goes to replace it, although replacing vector also may not be accurate, but the interpolated frame that level and smooth motion vector obtains, can avoid the phenomenons such as obvious interpolation fragmentation, improve visual experience.This technology can classify as a kind of regional degeneration strategy, when partial result is bad, does not need whole frame picture to degenerate to primitive frame, avoids local broken with shake, but reduces the broken problem in local by level and smooth vector field.
