Description

Code and decode method, the coding and decoding equipment of image
The application is Application No. 201280021355.8, and the applying date is on 2 23rd, 2012, entitled " coding and decoding The divisional application of the Chinese invention patent application of the method for image, coding and decoding equipment, computer program ".
Technical field
The present invention typically belongs to the field of image procossing, more accurately belongs to digital picture and the volume of digital image sequence Code and decoding.
Thus the present invention may be particularly used to compile in current video encoder (MPEG, H.264 etc.) or following video The Video coding realized in code device (ITU-T/VCEG (H.265) or ISO/MPEG (HVC)).
Background technology
Current video encoder (MPEG, H264 etc.) is represented using video sequence by block (block-wise).Image Be split as macro block, each macro block itself is split as block, and each block or macro block by image or inter picture prediction come Coding.Then, specific image is encoded by spatial prediction (intra prediction), and other images are in those skilled in the art Under the auxiliary of known motion compensation on one or more coding-decoded reference pictures by time prediction (inter-prediction) come Coding.In addition, for each piece, residual block can be encoded, it is corresponding which with original block subtracts prediction.Can After the conversion of choosing, the coefficient of the block can be quantized, and then be coded by entropy device coding.
Encoded and decoded specific piece can use before intra prediction and inter-prediction need, so as in decoder or coding It is used to predict current block in device.The schematic example of predictive coding as Figure 1A expressions, wherein, image INIt is divided into block, The current block MB of the imageiIt is subjected to three blocks of the predetermined quantity of coding and decoding before with for example being represented by hatched arrows MBr1、MBr2、MBr3Relevant predictive coding.Above three block particularly including it is disposed immediately in current block MBiThe left side block MBr1And it is disposed immediately in current block MB respectivelyiTop and upper right side two block MBr2And MBr3
Here more particular interest is that entropy coder.Entropy coder encodes information according to the order of arrival.Typical case The traversal line by line of the block of " raster scanning " type is realized on ground, if Figure 1A is as shown in reference (label) PRS, from the upper left corner of image BOB(beginning of block).For each piece, represent that each item of information (block type, prediction mode, residual coefficients etc.) needed for the block is suitable Sequence is distributed to entropy coder.
A kind of significance arithmetic encoder of known enough complexity, being referred to as " CABAC ", (" context adapts to binary arithmetic Encoder "), it is introduced in AVC compression standards (being also referred to as the 10th parts of ISO-MPEG4 and ITU-T H.264).
Entropy coder realizes various designs:
- arithmetic coding:Such as initially in document J.Rissanen and G.G.Langdon Jr, " Universal Modeling and coding, " in IEEE Trans.Inform.Theory, vol.IT-27, pp.12-23, Jan. 1981 The encoder of description encodes symbol using the probability of occurrence of the symbol;
- context adapts to:This includes the probability of occurrence for adapting to the symbol to be encoded.On the one hand, realize and quickly learn.It is another Aspect, according to the state of the information encoded before, specific context be used to encode.There are corresponding solid for each context Some symbol appearing probabilities.For example, context corresponds to type (remaining coefficient, the volume of coded identification according to given configuration The expression of the signaling of pattern etc.) or state (such as the quantity of " in frame " pattern from neighbor choice corresponding to neighbours Deng);
- binarization:The symbol to be encoded is converted into the form of Bit String.Then, which is distributed in succession Give binary system entropy coder.
Then, which realizes a kind of system for each context used, for quickly learn with before The relevant probability of symbol encoded for the context of consideration.This learns the coded sequence based on these symbols.Typically, such as The order of upper basis " raster scanning " type is come traversing graph picture.
When that pair can be encoded equal to 0 or 1 given symbol b, in the following manner for current block MBiTo update this The probability of occurrence P of symboliLearn:
Wherein, α is predetermined value, such as 0.95, and Pi-1It is that the symbol calculated when the symbol finally occurs occurs generally Rate.
The schematic example of entropy coding as Figure 1A expressions, wherein, image INCurrent block MBiIt is coded by entropy.Current Block MBiEntropy coding when starting, used symbol appearing probability is obtained after the coding of the block coded and decoded before Symbol appearing probability, should be tight in the block coded and decoded before according to the traversal line by line of the block of above-mentioned " raster scanning " type Neighbour is in current block MBiBefore.It is clear only for illustrating, in Figure 1A by thin-line arrow come represent for specific block based on Block-by-block dependence is learned.
The defects of entropy coding of the type, resides in the fact that, when the symbol to being located at row beginning encodes, uses Probability correspond mainly to positioned at the probability observed by the symbol at the end of previous row, travel through phase with " raster scanning " of block It closes.Now, due to symbol probability possible space variation (for example, for the relevant symbol of movable information item, it is right positioned at image The movement of side part from left part observe can be different, and hence for being class for resulting local probability As), it is observed that the missing of the local adaptation of probability, this is in coding with the risk that validity is caused to be lost.
In internet addresshttp://wftp3.itu.int/av-arch/jctvc-site/2010_04_A_ Dresden/JCTVC-A114-Annex A.doc(on 2 8th, 2011) document " the Annex A provided:CDCM Video A kind of coding method is described in Codec Decoder Specification ", alleviates drawbacks described above.As shown in Figure 1B, Coding method described in documents above includes:
- by image INThe step of cutting is multiple pieces,
- combine for example by three block MBr of the predetermined quantity of coding and decoding before hatched arrows expression1、MBr2、 MBr3To the current block MB of the imageiThe step of carrying out predictive coding.Above three block particularly including it is disposed immediately in current block MBiThe left side block MBr1And it is disposed immediately in current block MB respectivelyiTop and upper right side two block MBr2And MBr3,
- to image INBlock the step of carrying out entropy coding, accordingly, when these blocks are available, every piece of use is respectively for tight It is located at the encoded and decoding in encoded and decoded piece above current block and the left side for being disposed immediately in current block adjacently Block come the symbol appearing probability that calculates.In order to make the latter apparent, this is represented come part by thin-line arrow in fig. ib The use of symbol appearing probability.
The entropy coding is advantageous in that it make use of by the probability of the immediate environment generation of current block, thereby making it possible to Obtain higher coding efficiency.In addition, the coding techniques used allows to the subset to the paired adjacent block of predetermined quantity Parallel encoding.In the example of Figure 1B displayings, three subsets SE1, SE2 and SE3 are by parallel encoding, in this example embodiment per height Collect a line block being represented by the dotted line to form.Certainly, which needs the block respectively positioned at the top of current block and upper right side can use.
The defects of parallel encoding technology is, is counted to allow access needle to being disposed immediately in the block above current block The symbol appearing probability of calculation is, it is necessary to store and some associated probability of a line block.If such as the second row SE2 is considered in fig. ib Block, the symbol appearing probability calculated by using first piece for the first row SE1 before, first piece of the row by entropy Coding.When completing first piece of coding of the second row, the state of the value V1 of probability of occurrence is stored in buffer storage MT. Then, by using general come the symbol appearance calculated for second piece of the first row SE1 and first piece of the second row SE2 simultaneously Rate, second piece of the second row SE2 are coded by entropy.When completing second piece of coding of the second row, the shape of the value V2 of probability of occurrence State is stored in buffer storage MT.The process continues, until last block of the second row SE.Due to probability quantity very (there is the probability of combination as many with the quantity of the quantity of syntactic element and associated context) greatly, these probability of whole a line Be stored in it is very expensive in terms of memory resource.

Specific embodiment
The embodiment of the present invention will now be described, wherein, coding method according to the present invention is used for according to binary stream A series of images is encoded, which encodes what is obtained close to according to H.264/MPEG-4 AVC standards Binary stream.In this embodiment, by initially meet the adjustment of the H.264/MPEG-4AVC encoder of standard for example with The mode of software or hardware realizes coding method according to the present invention.With the algorithm comprising step C1 to C5 shown in Fig. 2A Form shows coding method according to the present invention.
According to an embodiment of the invention, coding method according to the present invention is realized in the encoding device CO shown in Fig. 3 A.
With reference to figure 2A, the first coding step C1 be image IE cuttings in a series of images that will be encoded for multiple pieces or Macro block MB, as shown in Fig. 4 A or 4B.In the example shown, described piece of MB for square and has identical size.As figure As the function of size, the multiple of block size is needed not be, the last block in left side and the last block of bottom can not be pros Shape.In alternate embodiments, block for example can be rectangle size and/or be misaligned mutually.
Each block or macro block itself can also be divided into sub-block, which itself can also segment.
The cutting is realized by the division module PCO shown in Fig. 3 A, and use example divides calculation as everyone knows Method.
With reference to figure 2A, the second coding step C2 be the continuous block for being grouped into predetermined quantity P by above-mentioned piece subset SE1, SE2 ... SEk ..., SEP, which will be by parallel encoding.In the example shown in Fig. 4 A and 4B, predetermined quantity P be equal to 4, and And four subsets SE1, SE2, SE3, SE4 being represented by dashed line are made of respectively four row blocks before image IE.
The division operation is to be realized by the computing module GRCO shown in Fig. 3 A using well-known algorithm.
With reference to figure 2A, the 3rd coding step C3 include in described piece subset SE1, SE2, SE3 and SE4 it is each simultaneously Row encodes, and the block in the subset considered is encoded according to the predetermined order PS of traversal.In the example shown in Fig. 4 A and 4B In, the block in current subnet SEk (1≤k≤4) is from left to right encoded successively as shown in arrow PS.
The parallel encoding is realized by the coding unit UCk (1≤k≤R) that the quantity shown in Fig. 3 A is R (R=4) , and allow the significantly acceleration of coding method.Known mode in this way, encoder CO include buffer storage MT, fit In including the gradual newer symbol appearing probability for example with the coding cooperative of current block.
If Fig. 3 B are shown in more detail, each coding unit UCk includes:
Block at least one coding and decoding before carries out current block on the subelement of predictive coding, uses SUCPk To represent;
At least one symbol probability of occurrence calculated by using the block for the coding and decoding before is to institute The subelement that current block carries out entropy coding is stated, is represented with SUCEk.
Predictive coding subelement SUCPk can be according to traditional Predicting Technique for example in frame and/or inter-frame mode is held The predictive coding of row current block.
Entropy coding subelement SUCEk is CABAC types in itself, but is adjusted according to the present invention, in the description will be into one Step description.
As variant, entropy coding subelement SUCEk can be known huffman encoder.
In the example shown in Fig. 4 A and 4B, first module UC1 encodes the block of the first row SE1 from left to right. When reaching last block of the first row SE1, first piece that (N+1) row is the 5th row etc. here can be transferred to.Second unit UC2 The block of second row SE2 is encoded from left to right.When reaching last block of the second row SE2, (N+2) row can be transferred to Here it is first piece of the 6th row etc..The traversal is repeated until unit UC4, and the block of fourth line SE4 is compiled from left to right Code.Reach the first row last block when, first piece that (N+4) row is eighth row here can be transferred to, and so on until Last block of image IE is encoded.
What the other kinds of traversal different from what is described just now above was certainly possible to.Thus it is possible to by image IE Cutting is several subgraphs, and the cutting of the type is applied independently for each subgraph.Each coding unit can also Do not handle the row of nesting as explained above but the row of nesting.Can also row or column be traveled through with any direction.
With reference to figure 2A, the 4th coding step C4 is generated in N number of sub- bit stream Fk (1≤k≤N) and each subset SEk Processed piece of decoded version, which represents by the processed block of above-mentioned each coding unit compression.According to The synchronization mechanism that be described in further detail in the description, with SED1, SED2 ... SEDk ..., being considered of representing of SEDP Decoded processed piece in subset can by shown in Fig. 3 A some coding unit UC1, UC2 ..., UCk ..., UCP weights It is new to use.
With reference to figure 2A, the 5th coding step C5 includes constructing global stream F based on above-mentioned subflow Fk.According to an implementation Example, subflow Fk is by simply side by side, additional item of information is used to represent positions of each subflow Fk in global flow F to decoder It puts.The global flow F is transferred to remote terminal by communication network (not shown).The latter includes the decoder DO shown in Fig. 6 A.
Then, as will be described in further detail in specification, decoder according to the present invention can isolate the son in global flow F Fk is flowed, and assigns these to each composition decoding unit of decoder.It is noted that by subflow be decomposed into global flow independently of The decoding unit that selection is concurrently operated using several, and can be used only by this method and include parallel operated units Encoder or decoder.
The construction of global flow F is realized in stream constructing module CF as shown in Figure 3A.
It describes for example to realize in coding unit UCk during above-mentioned parallel encoding step C3 referring now to Fig. 2 B The present invention each specific sub-step.
During step C31, coding unit UCk selects to be encoded in the current line SEk shown in Fig. 4 A or 4B One piece is used as current block.
During step C32, unit UCk test current block whether be in image IE first piece (be located at top and Left side), the image has been split as block in above-mentioned steps C1.
If this is the case, during step C33, coding possibilities be initialized to before Fig. 3 A coding Value Pinit defined in device CO.
If not this situation, in the step C40 that will be described in subsequent instruction, necessary coding before is determined With decoded piece of availability.
During step C34, the first current block MB1 in the first row SE1 described in Fig. 4 A or 4B is encoded. Step C34 includes 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 come to current block MB1 into Row predictive coding, during it, the block at least one coding and decoding before carrys out prediction block MB1.
Needless to say, the intra prediction of other patterns such as in the h .264 standard proposed is also possible.
Current block MB1 may also pass through the predictive coding of inter-frame mode, during it, be coded and decoded on from before The block that generates of image predict current block.It is of course possible to imagine other kinds of prediction.For the possible pre- of current block In survey, optimal prediction is selected according to well-known rate distortion criterion to those skilled in the art.
Above-mentioned predictive coding step allows to structure forecast block MBp1, this is to current block MB1Approximation.With the prediction It encodes relevant information and would be subsequently written into and flow F, stream F is sent to decoder DO.The information especially includes the class of prediction Type (in interframe or frame), and if appropriate, pattern, block or macro block comprising intra prediction classified types (if macro block by Subdivision), reference picture index and the offset vector used in inter-frame forecast mode.The information is compressed by encoder CO.
During sub-step C342 below, from current block MB1In subtract prediction block MBp1, generate residual block MBr1
During sub-step C343 below, according to traditional direct map function, (such as DCT types is discrete Cosine transform) convert residual block MBr1, generate the block MBt of conversion1
During sub-step C344 below, according to traditional quantization operation (such as scalar quantization) come to conversion Block MBt1Quantified.Then the block MBq that coefficient is quantized is obtained1
During sub-step C345 below, the block MBq that is quantized to coefficient1Carry out entropy coding.Preferred real It applies in example, this needs CABAC entropy codings.
During sub-step C346 below, according to traditional inverse quantization operation come to block MBq1Carry out inverse quantization, This is the inverse operation of the quantization performed in step C344.Then coefficient is obtained by the block MBDq of inverse quantization1
During sub-step C347 below, to coefficient by the block MBDq of inverse quantization1Inverse transformation is carried out, more than this is The inverse operation directly converted performed in step C343.Then decoded residual block MBDr is obtained1
During sub-step C348 below, by by decoded residual block MBDr1It is added to prediction block MBp1To construct Decoded piece of MBD1.It is noted that the latter and the method being decoded to image IE further described in the description are completed When the decoding block that obtains it is identical.Decoding block MBD1Then unit UC1 can be encoded or form appointing for the coding unit of predetermined quantity R Anticipate other coding units use.
When completing above-mentioned coding step C34, for example, entropy coding subelement SUCEk as shown in Figure 3B include for example with First piece of coding cooperative and gradually newer all probability.These probability correspond to various possible syntactic elements and correspond to Various relevant coding contexts.
It after above-mentioned coding step C34, is tested during step C35, to determine whether current block is this The mutually jth block of colleague, wherein, j is the known predetermined value of encoder CO and at least equal to 1.
If such situation, during step C36, the one group of probability calculated for jth block is stored in Such as in the buffer storage MT of the encoder CO as shown in Fig. 3 A and Fig. 4 A and 4B, the memory is sized for depositing The probability of the calculated quantity of storage.
During step C37, whether the current block in the row SEk that unit UCk tests were encoded just now is image IE Last block.
If this is the case, then during step C38, coding method terminates.
If not this situation, the traversal represented by arrow PS during the step C39 in Fig. 4 A or 4B Order selects next block MB to be encodedi
If during step C35, current block is not the jth block in considered row SEk, then without above step Rapid C37.
During step C40, determine for current block MBiCoding for it is necessary before coding and decoding block Availability.The fact that need in view of this through different coding unit UCk come to the block parallel encoding of image IE, is used for The coding unit encoded to these blocks may not code and decode these blocks, and therefore they are also unavailable.Institute Stating definite step includes the block for the predetermined quantity N' that verification is located in previous row SEk-1 for example respectively positioned at the top of current block Whether can be used for the coding of current block with two blocks in upper right side, i.e., they whether the coding unit encoded to it UCk-1 is encoded and is then decoded.The definite step further includes verification and is located at the current block MB to be encodediLeft side extremely Availability one piece few.But, it is contemplated that the traversal order PS selected in the embodiment shown in Fig. 4 A or 4B, to the row considered Block in SEk is encoded successively.Therefore, encoded and decoded piece of left side it is always available (except first in a line Block).In the example shown in Fig. 4 A or 4B, this needs block to be disposed immediately in the left side of the current block to be encoded.For this purpose, only test point Not Wei Yu current block top and upper right side two blocks availability.
