Thus, a feature defined as "first," "second," or "third" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the feature. In the description of the present application, "plurality" means at least two, e.g., two, three, etc., unless explicitly specifically limited otherwise. Furthermore, the terms "include" and "have," as well as any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of steps or elements is not limited to only those steps or elements listed, but may alternatively include other steps or elements not listed, or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.
Reference herein to "an embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment can be included in at least one embodiment of the application. The appearances of the phrase in various places in the specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment, nor are separate or alternative embodiments mutually exclusive of other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by one skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of an intra prediction method provided in the present application, in which the intra prediction method includes:
s11, obtaining a search template of the current block, wherein the current block is an image block to be coded.
Referring to fig. 2 to 4, the current frame is sequentially encoded in the form of image blocks according to a certain sequence, and the current block is an image block to be encoded in the current frame at the next moment in the sequence. The current block may have a variety of sizes, such as a size of 4X4, 8X8, or 16X8, among other specifications.
The search templates can be divided into three search templates, and different search templates correspond to different block matching pattern numbers.
First, as shown in fig. 2, the search template is a region of the current block, and the size of the search template is the size of the current block.
For example, the size of the current block is 4X4, the size of the search template is 4X 4. Or, the size of the current block is 16X8, the size of the search template is 16X 8.
In addition, the search template corresponds to a block matching mode number N +1, where N represents the number of types of conventional intra prediction modes, and the number is used to mark the intra prediction mode corresponding to the current block.
The conventional intra prediction modes include a Planar prediction mode, a DC prediction mode, and a multi-angle prediction mode. As shown in fig. 5, fig. 5 is a diagram of conventional intra prediction modes, where an image block corresponds to 67 intra prediction modes, 2-N indicate angle modes, and N is 66 in fig. 5, where 18 indicates horizontal angle mode (H), 50 indicates vertical angle mode (V), 0 indicates Planar prediction mode, and 1 indicates DC prediction mode, so that the corresponding block matching mode number is 68.
Secondly, as shown in fig. 3, the search template is a region formed by the current block and the reference pixels corresponding to the current block, and the size of the search template is the size of the region formed by the current block and the reference pixels corresponding to the current block.
The reference pixel is an encoded pixel point adjacent to the left side and the upper side of the current block in the current frame. The composition area of the reference pixel corresponding to the current block is determined by the number M of the reference lines, M is greater than or equal to 1, correspondingly, the block matching mode number is N + N, N represents the type of the search template, and N is greater than or equal to 1.
For example, the size of the current block is 4X4, and the number M of reference lines is 1, then the reference pixel area corresponding to the current block is the reference pixel point of the left column and the upper row of the current block. If the number M of the reference lines is 2, the reference pixel area corresponding to the current block is the reference pixel points of two columns on the left side and two rows on the upper side of the current block. Thus, the number of different reference lines, M, corresponds to different block matching patterns, and the different block matching pattern numbers are labeled as N +1, N +2 … N + N. Of course, n may be different from M, and each block matching pattern may be numbered differently.
Further, the search template may be a current block and a region composed of some or all of the reference pixels corresponding to the current block. All reference pixels corresponding to the current block are decoding reconstruction pixel points adjacent to the left side and the upper side of the current block, and partial reference pixels corresponding to the current block are decoding reconstruction pixel points adjacent to the left side or the upper side of the current block.
Further, the search template may be a rectangular region or a non-rectangular region. For example, the size of the current block is 4X4, and the number M of the reference lines is 1, then the reference pixels in a row above the current block may be 4 pixels directly above the current block, or 8 pixels directly above and right above the current block, or 9 pixels above left, directly above and right above the current block, that is, the reference pixels in a row above the current block are multiple pixels including the pixels directly above, and the reference pixels in a row at the left side of the current block are multiple pixels including the pixels directly above.
Thirdly, as shown in fig. 4, the size of the search template is the size of the region formed by the reference pixels corresponding to the current block, i.e. the size of the search template is the size of the region formed by the reference pixels corresponding to the current block. Further, the search template may be a region composed of some or all of the reference pixels corresponding to the current block.
The reference pixel area corresponding to the current block is determined by the number M of reference lines, M is greater than or equal to 1, correspondingly, the block matching mode number is N + N, N represents the type of the search template, and N is greater than or equal to 1.
Any template can be used as the search template of the current block, and the multiple search templates can be simultaneously adopted to obtain multiple matching blocks of the multiple search templates corresponding to the current block.
And S12, searching the reference pixel area by using the search template.
The reference pixel area is all the encoded pixel areas in the current frame, namely all the encoded pixels in the current frame are the reference pixels of the current block, the range of the reference pixels is increased, the reference pixel area is different from the reference pixels of the traditional intra-frame prediction mode, the image block covered by the reference pixel area of the search template is used as a prediction block, and then the reference pixel area is searched according to the size of the search template, so that a plurality of prediction blocks can be obtained.
It can be understood that, assuming that an image in the range of the search template is a cup and another identical cup exists in the reference pixel area, the difference between the image block covering the other cup in the reference pixel area and the search template is minimal, but the image block where the other cup exists is not necessarily adjacent to the search template, and therefore the image block needs to be searched in the reference pixel area.
In some embodiments, a fast search strategy is selected to search for the reference pixel region.
For example, the reference pixel region is searched in a sampling manner using a search template. The search starting point of the sampling mode can be selected at will in the reference pixel area, and the sampling mode can comprise a two-dimensional logarithm search method, a three-step search method, a TZsearch search method and a mixed search method, so that the search complexity is reduced, and the search time is shortened.
In this embodiment, a global search strategy is selected to search for the reference pixel region.
I.e. traversing the reference pixel area using the search template. The search starting point can be selected randomly in the reference pixel area, the search step length is at least one pixel point, and then the whole reference pixel area is traversed to obtain a plurality of image blocks. And reasonably setting a search starting point and traversing the reference pixel area, thereby ensuring that the best matching block which has the minimum difference with the image content of the current block and is closest to the brightness and chrominance signals of the corresponding pixel points in the reference pixel area is obtained.
Example 1: as shown in fig. 2, in the block matching mode, the first search template uses the current block as a search template, and adopts a global search strategy, that is, a search is performed from a pixel point at the top left corner of the current frame by using the search template, the search step is a pixel point, and the search direction is from left to right, and then from top to bottom. As shown in fig. 2, the current block has a size of 4x4, the reference pixel areas are encoded pixel areas on the upper side and the left side of the current block, S1 represents a first 4x4 image block to be searched, S2 represents a second 4x4 image block to be searched, and the searching is sequentially performed in the searching area from left to right and then from top to bottom by a step size of one pixel point, so as to obtain a plurality of image blocks having the same size as the searching template.
Example 2: as shown in fig. 3, in the block matching mode, in the second search template, an area formed by the current block and all reference pixels corresponding to the current block is used as the search template, where the number M of reference lines is 2, a global search strategy is adopted, that is, a search is performed from a pixel point at the top left corner of the current frame according to the search template, where the search step is one pixel point, and the search direction is from left to right, and then from top to bottom. As shown in fig. 3, the current block is 4 × 4 in size, the search template is composed of the current block and 16 reference pixels in two columns on the left of the current block and 16 reference pixels in two rows on the top, the reference pixel regions are encoded pixel regions on the upper side and the left side of the current block, S1 represents the first image block to be searched, S2 represents the second image block to be searched, the first image block is searched from left to right in sequence by the step length of one pixel, and then the second image block is searched from top to bottom in the search region, so that a plurality of image blocks with the same size as the search template are obtained.
Example 3: as shown in fig. 4, in the block matching mode, in the third search template, an area formed by all reference pixels corresponding to the current block is used as the search template, where the number M of reference lines is 1, a global search strategy is adopted, that is, a search is performed from a pixel point at the top left corner of the current frame according to the search template, where the search step is one pixel point, and the search direction is from left to right, and then from top to bottom. As shown in fig. 4, the current block is 4x4 in size, the search template is composed of 8 reference pixels in a column on the left of the current block and 8 reference pixels in a row on the top, the reference pixel regions are the encoded pixel regions on the top and left of the current block, S1 represents the first block searched, S2 represents the second block searched, and the searching is performed in the search region sequentially from left to right and then from top to bottom by the step size of one pixel, so as to obtain a plurality of image blocks having the same size as the search template.
And S13, respectively acquiring the matching degrees of the search template and the image block covered by the search template in the reference pixel area.
After the step S12, a plurality of image blocks are obtained, and then the matching degrees of the plurality of image blocks and the search template are respectively obtained, where the matching degree is one of the sum of absolute differences of pixel values, the mean square error value, the mean absolute error value, and the threshold difference count of the corresponding positions on the search template and the image blocks.
In this embodiment, the matching degree is represented by the sum of absolute differences of pixel values of the pixel points on the image block and the search template, which does not involve multiplication and division calculation, thereby facilitating the implementation of hardware.
The sum of absolute differences is calculated as SADk=∑k|s(x1,y1)-c(x2,y2) Where k denotes the k-th image block, s (x), corresponding to the search template1,y1) Representing the coordinate on the image block as (x)1,y1) Pixel value of pixel, c (x)2,y2) Representing the coordinates on the search template as (x)2,y2) The pixel values of the pixels.
In other embodiments, the degree of match may also be a mean squared error value, a mean absolute error value, a threshold difference count, or the like. The mean square error value, the absolute error mean value and the threshold difference count are all common calculation formulas and are not described again.
And S14, determining the minimum value in the matching degree to obtain the image block corresponding to the minimum value as the best matching block of the current block.
The matching degrees of the plurality of image blocks and the search template are respectively obtained, and a minimum value of the plurality of matching degrees, that is, a minimum value of the sums of absolute differences of the plurality of pixel values in this embodiment, is determined to obtain an image block corresponding to the minimum value as a best matching block of the current block, that is, an image block having a smallest difference with the search template is selected as the best matching block, and the best matching block is a prediction block of the current block in the block matching mode.
Further, referring to fig. 6, after S14 is executed, the following steps are also executed.
S141: and performing prediction processing on the current block by adopting a traditional intra-frame prediction mode to obtain a corresponding prediction block.
The conventional intra prediction modes include a Planar prediction mode, a DC prediction mode, and a multi-angle prediction mode.
Referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a diagram illustrating intra prediction modes of image blocks in an embodiment of the present application, where a current block corresponds to 67 conventional intra prediction modes, 2-N indicate angular modes, and N is 66 in fig. 3, where 18 indicates a horizontal angular mode (H), 50 indicates a vertical angular mode (V), 0 indicates a Planar prediction mode, and 1 indicates a DC prediction mode. The Planar prediction mode is mainly used for areas with relatively smooth image textures and relatively gradual change processes, and the prediction method comprises the following steps: and using pixel values on adjacent boundaries in 4 directions of up, down, left and right corresponding to the pixel to be predicted of the current block as reference pixel values, and obtaining the prediction block of the current block through averaging calculation. Compared with the Planar prediction mode, the DC prediction mode is mainly used for image flatness, texture smoothness, and not too gradual change area, and its prediction method is: all predicted values in the current block are average values of the left side and the upper side reference pixel values of the current block, and then the predicted block of the current block is obtained. The prediction method of the angle mode comprises the following steps: all predicted values in the current block are reference pixel values in the angle direction, if the reference pixel points to in the angle direction are whole pixels, the pixel values of the whole pixels are used for filling, and otherwise, the pixel values of the whole pixels on the left side and the right side of the reference pixel are used for filling after interpolation. Thus, after the current block is predicted in the conventional intra prediction mode, a plurality of prediction blocks will be obtained.
S142: the rate distortion cost of the best matching block and the prediction block is obtained.
After obtaining the best matching block in the block matching mode and the prediction block in the conventional intra-frame prediction mode, further obtaining rate distortion cost Rdcost of the best matching block and the prediction block, wherein the mathematical relationship of the rate distortion cost Rdcost calculation is as follows: rdcost ═ D + λ × R, where D, R denotes the distortion and the number of bits when different prediction modes are used, λ is the lagrange factor.
And then, determining the best matching block or the prediction block corresponding to the minimum value of the rate distortion cost Rdcost. Namely, the prediction mode with the minimum rate distortion cost Rdcost is found through comparison to be the best prediction mode, and the best matching block or the prediction block corresponding to the best prediction mode is the best prediction block.
Thus, if it is determined that the rate-distortion cost Rdcost of the best matching block is minimum, step S15 is performed, otherwise step S16 is performed.
And S15, if the rate distortion cost corresponding to the best matching block is minimum, the block matching mode corresponding to the best matching block is the best prediction mode.
And if the rate distortion cost corresponding to the best matching block is minimum, determining that the block matching mode corresponding to the best matching block is the best prediction mode, and the best matching block is the best prediction block.
By comparing the rate-distortion cost in the block matching mode with the rate-distortion cost in the traditional intra-frame prediction mode and determining that the block matching mode is the best prediction mode, the method can further improve the compression rate of intra-frame coding and reduce the transmission bandwidth of video data and the storage resource of the video data compared with a method for performing predictive coding only by adopting the traditional intra-frame prediction mode.
And S16, if the rate distortion cost corresponding to the prediction block is the minimum, the traditional intra-frame prediction mode corresponding to the prediction block is the best prediction mode.
And if the rate distortion cost corresponding to the prediction block is minimum, the traditional intra-frame prediction mode corresponding to the prediction block is the optimal prediction mode, the traditional intra-frame prediction mode is one of a Planar prediction mode, a DC prediction mode and a multi-angle prediction mode, and the prediction block is the optimal prediction block.
Referring to fig. 7, fig. 7 is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of a video encoding method provided in the present application, where the video encoding method includes:
s21: and carrying out intra-frame prediction on the current block to obtain the optimal prediction mode of the current block.
The current block is an image block to be coded, and the best prediction mode of the current block is obtained by adopting the intra-frame prediction method.
S22: the current block is encoded based on the best prediction mode.
If the optimal prediction mode is a block matching mode, for both the first search template and the second search template, the search templates include the current block, and the current block is an image block to be encoded, it is necessary to encode a motion vector from the current block to the optimal matching block in the code stream.
In an embodiment, a motion vector of an image block of which the best prediction mode is a block matching mode may be selected from encoded image blocks adjacent to a current block as a prediction motion vector of the current block, and a decoding end obtains the motion vector of the current block by decoding a motion vector residual in a code stream and combining the prediction motion vector to obtain a prediction block of the current block, so as to decode the current block.
In another embodiment, motion vectors of a plurality of image blocks of which the best prediction mode is the block matching mode may be selected from encoded image blocks adjacent to the current block, an average value of the plurality of motion vectors is obtained as a prediction motion vector of the current block, and the decoding end obtains the motion vector of the current block by decoding a motion vector residual in a code stream and combining the prediction motion vector to obtain a prediction block of the current block, so as to decode the current block.
For the third search template, all the search templates include the reference pixel points.
In one embodiment, it is necessary to encode a motion vector or a motion vector residual from a current block to a best matching block in a code stream, and obtain a prediction block of the current block by decoding the motion vector or the motion vector residual in the code stream at a decoding end.
In another embodiment, the encoding end does not need to encode the motion vector, and the decoding end performs the same block matching mode search as the encoding end to obtain the prediction block of the current block.
Therefore, in the block matching mode, a syntax element may be added to any one of a Picture Parameter Set (PPS), a Sequence Parameter Set (SPS), or Slice header information (Slice header), and the syntax element controls whether a motion vector needs to be transmitted. When the motion vector is transmitted, the decoding end decodes the current block by acquiring the motion vector; and when the motion vector is not transmitted, the decoding end acquires the prediction block by adopting a block matching mode so as to decode the current block.
