Description

Quantization parameter cascade method of high-efficiency video coding standard low-delay coding structure

Technical Field

The invention belongs to the technical field of video coding, and particularly relates to a quantization parameter cascading method of a high-efficiency video coding standard low-delay coding structure.

Background

Video coding is a key technology for ensuring the effective operation of a video multimedia communication system. Video data needs to be transmitted quickly in real time in video monitoring and video conference systems. However, the amount of video data collected by the camera is very large, for example, an original video in YUV420 format with a spatial resolution of 1080p and a frame rate of 50 frames/second generates 148.32MB of data in one second. Such bulky raw video cannot be quickly transmitted in real-time in current multimedia systems without encoding. The purpose of video coding is to represent the content information of the original video with fewer coding bits on the premise of satisfying the quality of the reconstructed video.

With the great popularization of high-definition devices, high-efficiency video coding standards for high-definition videos are widely adopted at present. The high-efficiency video coding standard supports three coding structures, namely a full-frame intra coding structure, a random access coding structure and a low-delay coding structure. The low-delay coding structure is suitable for scenes with high requirements on video transmission real-time performance, such as video monitoring, video conferences and the like. When the video is coded by adopting a low-delay coding structure, images in the video can be distributed to different time layers, and the coding efficiency of the video is closely related to the value of a quantization parameter selected for the images of each time layer. Quantization parameter cascading methods are a class of techniques for studying how to select the optimal quantization parameter value for each temporal layer image.

At present, the high-efficiency video coding standard adopts a fixed quantization parameter cascading method, namely, the quantization parameter of the current time layer image is added with 1 on the basis of the quantization parameter of the previous time layer image. The fixed quantization parameter cascading method does not consider the content characteristics contained in the video and the time-domain dependency between video images, so the encoding performance of the method is low. Some more efficient quantization parameter concatenation methods are proposed, which can be divided into two broad categories: a method based on experimental statistics and a method based on time-domain dependency modeling. The method based on experimental statistics is that a relation model between some video content characteristics and quantization parameter values is established by selecting a large number of videos and analyzing experimental data, for example, a model of the relation between video space-time complexity and quantization parameter values is established. Although the method based on experimental statistics considers the content characteristics of the video, the temporal dependency of the video is not considered, so the coding rate distortion performance of the method is to be improved. The method based on the time domain dependency modeling considers the video content characteristics and the time domain dependency among video images at the same time, and the method can achieve higher coding rate distortion performance theoretically. However, most of the methods proposed currently are proposed for random access coding structures. Since there is a significant difference in the prediction relationship between the random access coding structure and the low-latency coding structure, these methods are not suitable for the low-latency coding structure. In addition, most methods have complex model parameter obtaining modes, such as pre-coding and motion estimation, and the complex calculation process is not suitable for real-time video application of a low-delay coding structure.

The method of embodiment 1 of the invention and the fixed quantization parameter cascading method are adopted to respectively encode 20 videos, and BD-rate indexes are used for measuring the rate distortion performance of the encoded videos corresponding to the two methods, wherein the BD-rate is disclosed in An exceld-in for computing Bjontegaard measurement and bits evaluation, VCEG-AE07, Marrakech, MA, Jan.2007. And for each test video, taking the coding distortion and code rate corresponding to the fixed quantization parameter cascading method as reference values to obtain the BD-rate value corresponding to the method provided by the invention. When the BD-rate is negative, the code rate is reduced and the coding rate distortion performance is improved under the same quality.

The results obtained according to the process of example 1 of the present invention are shown in Table 1.

TABLE 1 BD-rate (%) values corresponding to the method of the invention

As can be seen from table 1, the average BD-rate for all tested videos is-3.99% for the proposed method compared to the fixed quantization parameter cascade method. Compared with the fixed quantization parameter cascading method, the method provided by the invention can save the code rate by 3.99% on the premise of achieving the same quality of the coded and reconstructed video, and the coding rate distortion performance is higher.
