Description

Video intra-frame coding method combining direction prediction and block copy prediction

Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of video coding, in particular to a video intra-frame coding method combining direction prediction and block copy prediction.

Background

In recent years, with the rapid development of the internet, the application demand for videos in the internet is increasing, and the data volume of the videos is very large, so that the problem that needs to be solved in order to transmit the videos in the internet with limited bandwidth is the problem of video compression coding.

The established video coding standards all belong to the hybrid video coding framework. So-called hybrid video coding, generally consists of the following parts: prediction (Prediction), transformation (Transform), quantization (Quantization) and Entropy Coding (Entropy Coding). Among them, prediction is generally classified into intra prediction and inter prediction. Video frames that can only use intra-prediction mode are called I-frames, and video frames that can use either intra-prediction mode or inter-prediction mode are called P-frames or B-frames. The intra-frame prediction mode removes spatial redundancy by using pixels which are in the same frame as a current coding block and are reconstructed as a reference. The inter-frame prediction mode removes temporal redundancy by using the reconstructed pixels of other frames as references. Generally, inter-frame prediction has a higher accuracy, but the first frame of video or a random access frame provided for random access must be an I frame, and only intra-frame prediction can be used. Further improving the accuracy of intra-frame prediction, thereby improving the compression efficiency of I-frames, is a very urgent need in video coding.

Currently, the latest standard for general Video Coding is High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC). Intra prediction of HEVC has 35 modes in common. Where the mode 0 indicates prediction using the Planar method, 1 indicates prediction using the DC method, and 2 to 34 indicate the use of the directional extrapolation mode. The common feature of these modes is extrapolation based on the reconstructed pixels in the immediate vicinity of the current coding block, which will be referred to as Directional Intra Prediction (DIP) hereinafter.

In addition, there are some work that suggests other intra prediction methods, such as:

extrapolation predictions in both directions are combined (Y.Ye and M.Karczewicz, "Improved h.264intra coded base on bi-directional intra prediction, directional transform, and adaptive coeffective scanning," Image Processing,2008.ICIP 2008.15th IEEE International reference, san Diego, CA,2008, pp.2116-2119.). However, directional prediction in HEVC, or combined two-directionally weighted prediction, only considers local correlation in video frames and not non-local correlation.

Edge (Edge) -based prediction (Liu, d., sun, x., wu, f., & Zhang, y.q. (2008). Edge-oriented uniform prediction image Processing, IEEE Transactions, 17 (10), 1827-1836.). Prediction based on template matching (T.K.Tan, C.S.Boon, and Y.Suzuki, "Intra prediction bytecode matching," in Image Processing,2006IEEEInternational reference, oct 2006, pp.1693-1696.). However, edge-based prediction or template matching-based prediction has a high complexity at the decoding end.

Prediction based on Intra block copy (Intra block copy) (Siu-Leong Yu and Christos Chrysafis, "Intra-prediction Intra-macroblock motion compensation," Oct.2006, U.S. Pat. No. 7,120,196.). The intra-frame block copy prediction technology finds a most similar reference block for a current coding block in a reconstructed area of a current frame to be used as prediction, and encodes a spatial motion vector between the found most similar reference block and the current block; it is well suited for the case where there are repetitive texture patterns in a frame. This technique is used in subsequent extension versions of HEVC: the Screen Content Coding (SCC) is adopted because some repetitive patterns of regular shapes, such as characters, etc., often appear in such videos. Block copy prediction techniques work well in SCC but not well in natural video. This is mainly because natural video capture angles are complex, noise is large, even if there are repetitive textures, they are largely irregular shapes, and are rarely aligned with square coding units, so that similar reference blocks cannot be searched.

A square in V1 represents a current coding block, the square is divided into a left rectangle and a right rectangle, the heights of the two rectangles are the same, and the width of the left rectangle accounts for 1/8 of the width of the whole square; the width of the right rectangle accounts for 7/8 of the width of the whole square; in V2, a square is divided into a left rectangle and a right rectangle, the heights of the two rectangles are the same, and the width of the left rectangle accounts for 2/8 of the width of the whole square; the width of the right rectangle accounts for 6/8 of the width of the whole square; similarly, the width of the left rectangle in V7 accounts for 7/8 of the width of the whole square; the width of the right rectangle accounts for 1/8 of the width of the whole square. H1, H2, \ 8230;, H7 corresponds to V1, V2, \ 8230;, V7, except that the former is horizontal and the latter is vertical. The H1, H2, \ 8230;, H7 division is shown in FIG. 3.

As shown in fig. 4, in the T1 division, the base side length of the isosceles right triangle is 1/4 of the side length of the square; in the T2 division, the length of the bottom side of the isosceles right triangle is 2/4 of the length of the square side; in the same way of T4 division, the length of the bottom side of the isosceles right triangle is 4/4 of the length of the square side, namely equal to the length of the square side.

And secondly, after the current coding block is divided according to the division template of the division type, intra Block Copy (IBC) prediction needs to be carried out on all the sub blocks.

The search range needs to be determined prior to the search, and may be less than or equal to the reconstructed portion of the current frame. If the search range is set to be larger, the search complexity is higher, and meanwhile, a better prediction value can be found for the current block. The search is started after the search range is determined,

the present embodiment employs a full search, i.e. for each reference block within the search range, a prediction error with each sub-block is calculated, e.g. (SAD, sum of absolute differences). Since the optimal prediction mode needs to be determined later by RDO (Rate Distortion Optimization), SAD of different shapes between the reference block and the current encoding block is calculated here.

Fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of a certain step in the IBC process, where a rectangular area (i.e. a rectangular area where a current coding Block is located) shown by a dotted line is an un-coded portion, a peripheral portion thereof is a reconstructed portion in the current frame, the current coding Block is searched within a search range to reach one of blocks, and arrows indicate BV (Block Vector, which represents a coordinate difference between a reference Block and a current Block, and is similar to a Motion Vector during inter-frame Motion estimation, i.e. a Motion Vector, and hereinafter, BV is represented by MV, which is a customary expression. As can be seen from the foregoing, there are 28 division modes in the current coding block, each division mode divides the current coding block into two sub-blocks, and the SAD of each sub-block needs to be calculated, so that the SAD of 56 division blocks plus the SAD of the whole coding block needs to be calculated, namely 57 division modes. Since the sum of the two sub-block SADs obtained by each of the 28 kinds of divisions is equal to the SAD of the entire block, 29 SADs are actually calculated (the remaining 28 SADs can be obtained by subtracting the SAD of the corresponding small block from the SAD of the large block).

the optimal motion vectors MV of the upper and lower sub-blocks of the 1 st partition type H1 in the horizontal direction are respectively recorded as MV _ IBC _ H1_1 and MV _ IBC _ H1_2, and the corresponding prediction errors are recorded as SAD _ IBC _ H1_1 and SAD _ IBC _ H1_2; by analogy, the optimal motion vectors MV of the upper and lower sub-blocks of the 7 th partition type H7 are respectively recorded as MV _ IBC _ H7_1 and MV _ IBC _ H7_2, and the corresponding prediction errors are recorded as SAD _ IBC _ H7_1 and SAD _ IBC _ H7_2;

And thirdly, carrying out DIP prediction on all the subblocks to obtain the optimal prediction direction of each subblock, and recording the prediction error of each subblock, which is obtained by predicting the optimal prediction direction.

The DIP prediction is to determine the optimal prediction direction in 35 intra-frame predictions of HEVC, and because the optimal partition mode of the current coding unit cannot be determined before RDO is performed, we need to find the optimal prediction direction for each part in each partition, and record the SAD of each part in the optimal prediction direction at the same time. Calculating a prediction error (i.e., SAD) of each sub-block between the prediction block and the current coding block after the prediction value of each direction is generated; as can be seen from the foregoing, it is necessary to calculate the SAD of 56 divided sub-blocks plus the SAD of the entire coding block, i.e., 57 kinds.

After completing the traversal of 35 prediction directions, the minimum prediction error and corresponding intra prediction direction of each sub-block in each partition are obtained, and marked as follows:

And fourthly, determining the optimal partition and the corresponding prediction combination in all partition types through the rapid Rate Distortion Optimization (RDO).

In this embodiment, the partition and prediction combination with the minimum overall cost is determined from the 7 partition types of the respective L-type at the top left and the L-type at the top right, and the process is as follows:
