Description

The method of Code And Decode image, Code And Decode equipment, computer program
The application is application number is 201280021355.8, and the applying date is on February 23rd, 2012, is entitled as the divisional application of the Chinese invention patent application of " method of Code And Decode image, Code And Decode equipment, computer program ".
Technical field
The present invention generally belongs to the field of image procossing, belongs to the Code And Decode of digital picture and digital image sequence more accurately.
The present invention especially can be used to the Video coding realized in current video encoder (MPEG, H.264 etc.) or the video encoder (ITU-T/VCEG (H.265) or ISO/MPEG (HVC)) in future thus.
Background technology
Current video encoder (MPEG, H264 etc.) uses the block (block-wise) of pressing of video sequence to represent.Image is split as macro block, and each macro block self is split as block, and each piece or macro block by image or inter picture prediction encode.So, specific image is encoded by spatial prediction (infra-frame prediction), and other images motion compensation well known by persons skilled in the art auxiliary under encoded by time prediction (inter prediction) about one or more coding-decoded reference pictures.In addition, for each piece, can encode to residual block, this residual block and original block deduct predict corresponding.After optional conversion, the coefficient of this block can be quantized, and is then coded by entropy device coding.
Encoded available with specific piece of decoding before infra-frame prediction and inter prediction need, thus be used to predict current block in decoder or encoder.Figure 1A represents the schematic example of such predictive coding, wherein, and image I nbe divided into block, the current block MB of this image istand three block MBr with the predetermined quantity of Code And Decode before such as represented by hatched arrows 1, MBr 2, MBr 3relevant predictive coding.Above-mentioned three blocks are particularly including being disposed immediately in current block MB ithe block MBr on the left side 1, and be disposed immediately in current block MB respectively itop and top-right two block MBr 2and MBr 3.
Here more special it is of concern that entropy coder.Entropy coder comes information coding according to the order arrived.Typically realize the traversal line by line of the block of " raster scan " type, if Figure 1A is by with reference to shown in (label) PRS, from the BOB(beginning of block) in the upper left corner of image.For each piece, represent that each item of information (block type, predictive mode, residual coefficients etc.) needed for this block is sequentially distributed to entropy coder.
Known a kind of enough complicated significance arithmetic encoder, be called as " CABAC " (" context adaptation binary arithmetic coder "), it is introduced in AVC compression standard (be also referred to as ISO-MPEG4 the 10th part and ITU-T H.264).
Entropy coder realizes various design:
-arithmetic coding: such as initial at document J.Rissanen and G.G.Langdon Jr, " Universalmodeling and coding; " IEEE Trans.Inform.Theory, vol.IT-27, the encoder described in pp.12 – 23, Jan.1981 uses the probability of occurrence of this symbol to come encoding symbols;
-context adapts to: this comprises the probability of occurrence adapting to the symbol that will encode.On the one hand, realize learning fast.On the other hand, according to the state of the information of encoding before, specific context is used to coding.There is corresponding intrinsic symbol appearing probability in each context.Such as, context corresponds to the type (expression of residual coefficient, the signaling of coding mode etc.) of coded identification according to given configuration, or corresponds to the state (such as from the quantity etc. of " in frame " pattern of neighbor choice) of neighbours;
-binarization: the symbol that encode is converted into the form of Bit String.Subsequently, this each bit is distributed to binary system entropy coder in succession.
So this entropy coder realizes a kind of system, for the probability that the symbol learned fast to encode for the context considered before is relevant for each context used.This learns the coded sequence based on these symbols.Typically, traversing graph picture is carried out according to the order of " raster scan " type as mentioned above.
When encoding to the given symbol b that can equal 0 or 1, in the following manner for current block MB iupgrade the probability of occurrence P of this symbol ilearn:
Wherein, α is predetermined value, such as 0.95, and P i-1it is the symbol appearing probability calculated when this symbol finally occurs.
Figure 1A represents the schematic example of such entropy code, wherein, and image I ncurrent block MB ibe coded by entropy.At current block MB ientropy code when starting, the symbol appearing probability used is the symbol appearing probability obtained after the coding of the block of Code And Decode before, according to the traversal line by line of the block of above-mentioned " raster scan " type, current block MB should be adjacent at the block of Code And Decode before ibefore.Only clear in order to illustrate, represent learning based on block-by-block is dependent for specific block by thin-line arrow in Figure 1A.
The defect of the entropy code of the type is the following fact, to be positioned at row start encoding symbols time, the probability of use, mainly corresponding to the viewed probability of symbol at the end being positioned at previous row, travels through relevant to " raster scan " of block.Now, because the possible space of symbol probability changes (such as, for the symbol relevant to movable information item, the motion being positioned at image right part from observe in left part can be different, and thus be similar for consequent local probability), can observe the disappearance of the local adaptation of probability, this has when encoding the risk causing validity to lose.
At internet address http:// wftp3.itu.int/av-arch/jctvc-site/2010_04_A_Dresden/JCTVC-A114-Annex a.docdescribe a kind of coding method in the document " Annex A:CDCM Video Codec DecoderSpecification " that (on February 8th, 2011) provides, it alleviates above-mentioned defect.As shown in Figure 1B, the coding method described in above document comprises:
-by image I ncutting is the step of multiple pieces,
Three block MBr of the predetermined quantity of Code And Decode before that-combination is such as represented by hatched arrows 1, MBr 2, MBr 3to the current block MB of this image icarry out the step of predictive coding.Above-mentioned three blocks are particularly including being disposed immediately in current block MB ithe block MBr on the left side 1, and be disposed immediately in current block MB respectively itop and top-right two block MBr 2and MBr 3,
-to image I nblock carry out the step of entropy code, accordingly, when these blocks are available, every block uses respectively for the symbol appearing probability that block and the block that is encoded and decoding in left side that is disposed immediately in current block of the encoded and decoding be disposed immediately in above current block calculate.In order to make the latter more clear, carry out by thin-line arrow the use partly representing this symbol appearing probability in fig. ib.
The benefit of this entropy code is, which utilizes the probability produced by the immediate environment of current block, makes thus to obtain higher coding efficiency.In addition, make may to the subset parallel encoding of the paired adjacent block of predetermined quantity for the coding techniques of use.In the example that Figure 1B shows, three subset SE1, SE2 and SE3 are by parallel encoding, and a line block that each subset is illustrated by the broken lines in this example embodiment is formed.Certainly, this coding need to lay respectively at the top of current block and top-right piece available.
The defect of this parallel encoding technology is, in order to the symbol appearing probability allowing access needle to calculate the block be disposed immediately in above current block, needs to store some probability associated with a line block.If such as consider the block of the second row SE2 in fig. ib, by using first piece of symbol appearing probability calculated for the first row SE1 before, first piece of this row is coded by entropy.When completing the coding of first piece of the second row, the state of the value V1 of probability of occurrence is stored in buffer storage MT.Subsequently, by using simultaneously for second piece of the first row SE1 and first piece of symbol appearing probability calculated of the second row SE2, second piece of the second row SE2 is coded by entropy.When completing the coding of second piece of the second row, the state of the value V2 of probability of occurrence is stored in buffer storage MT.This process lasts, until last block of the second row SE.Due to the quantity of probability very large (there is the as many probability of combination with the quantity of syntactic element and the quantity of associated context), these probability of whole a line to be stored in memory resource aspect very expensive.

This layout allows the subset for the current block that will encode to realize the synchronous of the processing procedure of the block in the subset of the block under the order performing parallel encoding before current subnet, makes the availability that may ensure one or more pieces in the previous subset of the coding being used to current block thus.Pass through which, advantageously can be ignored in the step (step realized in such as the parallel encoder in prior art) of the availability verifying this block in subset above, allowed the acceleration in the processing time needed for block being processed in encoder according to the present invention thus.

Embodiment
Embodiment of the present invention will be described now, and wherein, coding method according to the present invention is used to encode to a series of images according to binary stream, and this binary stream is close to the binary stream obtained according to the coding of H.264/MPEG-4AVC standard.In this embodiment, by such as realizing according to coding method of the present invention in the mode of software or hardware the adjustment of the encoder initially meeting H.264/MPEG-4AVC standard.Show according to coding method of the present invention with the form comprising the algorithm of step C1 to C5 shown in Fig. 2 A.
According to embodiments of the invention, realize according to coding method of the present invention in the encoding device CO shown in Fig. 3 A.
With reference to figure 2A, the first coding step C1 is the image IE cutting in a series of images that will encode is multiple pieces or macro block MB, as shown in Fig. 4 A or 4B.In the example shown, described piece of MB is square and has identical size.As the function of image size, it needs not to be the multiple of block size, and the last block in left side and the last block of bottom can not be squares.In alternate embodiments, block can be such as rectangle size and/or not line up mutually.
Each piece or macro block self also can be divided into sub-block, and this sub-block also can be segmented self.
This cutting is realized by the division module PCO shown in Fig. 3 A, its example partitioning algorithm as everyone knows.
With reference to figure 2A, the second coding step C2 be the continuous print block above-mentioned piece being grouped into predetermined quantity P subset SE1, SE2 ... SEk ..., SEP, this subset will by parallel encoding.In the example shown in Fig. 4 A and 4B, predetermined quantity P equals 4, and represented by dashed line four subset SE1, SE2, SE3, SE4 are made up of four lines block before image IE respectively.
This division operation utilizes well-known algorithm to realize by the computing module GRCO shown in Fig. 3 A.
With reference to figure 2A, the 3rd coding step C3 comprises each parallel encoding in subset SE1 to described piece, SE2, SE3 and SE4, and the block in the subset considered is encoded according to the predefined procedure PS of traversal.In the example shown in Fig. 4 A and 4B, the block in current subnet SEk (1≤k≤4) is from left to right encoded successively as shown in arrow P S.
This parallel encoding is that the coding unit UCk (1≤k≤R) being R (R=4) by the quantity shown in Fig. 3 A realizes, and allows the significantly acceleration of coding method.By mode known like this, encoder CO comprises buffer storage MT, its be suitable for comprising such as with the symbol appearing probability upgraded gradually of the coding cooperative of current block.
As Fig. 3 B shows in more detail, each coding unit UCk comprises:
About the block of Code And Decode before at least one, current block is carried out to the subelement of predictive coding, represent with SUCPk;
At least one symbol appearing probability calculated by the block used for described Code And Decode before carries out the subelement of entropy code to described current block, represent with SUCEk.
Predictive coding subelement SUCPk can according to traditional Predicting Technique such as with in frame and/or inter-frame mode perform the predictive coding of current block.
Entropy code subelement SUCEk itself is CABAC type, but adjusts according to the present invention, will further describe in the description.
As variant, entropy code subelement SUCEk can be known huffman encoder.
In the example shown in Fig. 4 A and 4B, the block of first module UC1 to the first row SE1 is encoded from left to right.When arriving last block of the first row SE1, first piece that (N+1) row is the 5th row etc. here can be delivered to.The block of second unit UC2 to the second row SE2 is encoded from left to right.When last block of arrival second row SE2, first piece that (N+2) row is the 6th row etc. here can be delivered to.This traversal is repeated until unit UC4, and it is encoded from left to right to the block of fourth line SE4.When arriving last block of the first row, first piece that (N+4) row is eighth row here can be delivered to, by that analogy until last block of image IE is encoded.
Certainly be also possible from the traversal of the different other types just now described above.So, can be several subgraphs by image IE cutting, and the cutting of the type is applied to each subgraph independently.Each coding unit also can not process row nested as explained above but nested row.Row or column can also be traveled through with any direction.
With reference to figure 2A, the 4th coding step C4 produces the decoded version of processed piece in N number of sub-bit stream Fk (1≤k≤N) and each subset SEk, and this sub-bit stream Fk represents by the processed block of above-mentioned each coding unit compression.According to the synchronization mechanism that will describe in further detail in the description, with SED1, SED2 ... SEDk ..., processed piece of decoding in the subset considered that represents of SEDP can by some coding unit UC1 shown in Fig. 3 A, UC2 ..., UCk ..., UCP reuses.
With reference to figure 2A, the 5th coding step C5 comprises the stream F constructing the overall situation based on above-mentioned subflow Fk.According to an embodiment, subflow Fk is by arranged side by side simply, and its extra item of information is used for representing the position of each subflow Fk in global flow F to decoder.Described global flow F is transferred to remote terminal by communication network (not shown).The latter comprises the decoder DO shown in Fig. 6 A.
So, as described in more detail in specification, the subflow Fk in global flow F can be isolated according to decoder of the present invention, and they be distributed to each composition decoding unit of decoder.It is noted that and subflow is decomposed into the global flow decoding unit that several operate concurrently independent of choice for use, and only can be used the encoder or decoder that comprise parallel operated units by the method.
This structure of global flow F realizes in stream constructing module CF as shown in Figure 3A.
Each particular child step of the present invention such as realized in coding unit UCk during above-mentioned parallel encoding step C3 is described referring now to Fig. 2 B.
In the process of step C31, coding unit UCk select will to encode in the current line SEk shown in Fig. 4 A or 4B first piece is as current block.
In the process of step C32, whether unit UCk tests current block is first piece (being positioned at top and left side) in image IE, and in above-mentioned steps C1, this image has been split as block.
If this situation, in the process of step C33, the value Pinit defined in the encoder CO of Fig. 3 A before coding possibilities is initialized to.
If not this situation, by the step C40 of detailed description in follow-up explanation, determine the availability of the necessary block of Code And Decode before.
In the process of step C34, the first current block MB1 in the first row SE1 described in Fig. 4 A or 4B is encoded.This step C34 comprises multiple sub-step C341 to the C348 that will be described below.
In the process of the first sub-step C341, by frame and/or the known technology of inter prediction predictive coding is carried out to current block MB1, in its process, predict block MB1 about the block of Code And Decode before at least one.
Needless to say, the infra-frame prediction of other patterns such as proposed in the h .264 standard is also fine.
Current block MB1 through the predictive coding of inter-frame mode, in its process, can also predict current block about the block from the image generation of Code And Decode before.Certainly it is contemplated that the prediction of other types.For in the possible prediction of current block, select optimum prediction according to well-known rate distortion criterion to those skilled in the art.
Above-mentioned predictive coding step makes may structure forecast block MBp 1, this is to current block MB 1approximate.The information relevant to this predictive coding will be written to subsequently and flow F, and this stream F is sent to decoder DO.This information comprises the type (interframe or frame in) of prediction especially, if and suitable, the offset vector comprising the classified types (if macro block is subdivided) of the pattern of infra-frame prediction, block or macro block, reference picture index and use in inter-frame forecast mode.This information is compressed by encoder CO.
In the process of sub-step C342 below, from current block MB 1in deduct prediction block MBp 1, produce residual block MBr 1.
In the process of sub-step C343 below, convert residual block MBr according to traditional Direct Transform operation (such as the discrete cosine transform of DCT type) 1, produce the block MBt of conversion 1.
In the process of sub-step C344 below, carry out the block MBt to conversion according to traditional quantization operation (such as scalar quantization) 1quantize.Then the block MBq that coefficient is quantized is obtained 1.
In the process of sub-step C345 below, to the block MBq that coefficient is quantized 1carry out entropy code.In a preferred embodiment, this needs CABAC entropy code.
In the process of sub-step C346 below, come block MBq according to traditional inverse quantization operation 1carry out inverse quantization, this is the inverse operation of the quantification performed in step C344.Then coefficient is obtained by the block MBDq of inverse quantization 1.
In the process of sub-step C347 below, to coefficient by the block MBDq of inverse quantization 1carry out inverse transformation, this is the inverse operation of the Direct Transform performed in above step C343.Then the residual block MBDr of decoding is obtained 1.
In the process of sub-step C348 below, by the residual block MBDr by decoding 1be added to prediction block MBp 1construct the block MBD of decoding 1.It is noted that the decoding block that the latter obtains when completing with the method for decoding to image IE further described in the description is identical.Decoding block MBD 1so can be used by other coding units any of coding unit UC1 or the coding unit forming predetermined quantity R.
When completing above-mentioned coding step C34, such as entropy code subelement SUCEk as shown in Figure 3 B comprises such as with the coding cooperative of first piece and all probability upgraded gradually.These probability correspond to various possible syntactic element and correspond to various relevant coding context.
After above-mentioned coding step C34, test in the process of step C35, to determine whether current block is the jth block that this phase is gone together, and wherein, j is the known predetermined value of encoder CO and at least equals 1.
If such situation, in the process of step C36, the one group of probability calculated for jth block is stored in the buffer storage MT of the encoder CO such as shown in Fig. 3 A and Fig. 4 A and 4B, and the size of described memory is suitable for the probability storing the quantity calculated.
In the process of step C37, unit UCk tests just now by last block that whether current block in the row SEk that encodes is image IE.
If this situation, then, in the process of step C38, coding method terminates.
If not this situation, the block MB that the traversal order in the process of step C39 represented by the arrow P S in Fig. 4 A or 4B selects next to encode i.
If in the process of step C35, current block is not the jth block in considered row SEk, then without above step C37.
