Embodiment
As shown in Figure 1, be the hardware framework of a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it includes:
One video memory 10 is for the video data of temporary input;
One image processor 20, in present embodiment, it is made of a compression engine, compresses in order to the video image to video memory 10 outputs;
One switches switch 11, is to be located between video memory 10 outputs and the image processor 20, and the image that utilizes its switch to deliver to image processor 20 with control video memory 10 is frame-skipping (skip frames);
One flow buffer 30 is compression data outputs of being located at image processor 20, and the output of itself then sees through a network transceivers 31 and is connected with network;
One processing unit 40, can constitute by microprocessor, memory or logical circuit, except that connecting aforementioned diverter switch 11, connect aforesaid network transceivers 31, flow buffer 30, image processor 20 etc. again respectively, and receive its information that provides and set data WT (Weighting) (as: sets required picture rate (fps), according to aforementioned information and set data WT, whether the action of control its switch 11 automatically according to this, carries out the frame-skipping step; Wherein:
Aforementioned image processor 20 provides the information of giving processing unit 40 to comprise: image information (II, Image Info), bit transfer rate (BRI, Bit Rate Info), leak frame per second (SFR, SkipFrame Rate) and wait (leak frame per second (SFR) also can by processing unit 40 generations itself).
Aforementioned flow buffer 30 provides the flow information (BI, Buffer Info) of images and gives processing unit 40.
Aforementioned network transceiver (31) provides network bandwidth information (BWI, Bandwidth Info) and gives processing unit 40.
Processing unit 40 can carry out comprehensive judgment processing with reference to information (PI, Previous Info) last time again.
And the concrete function mode of aforementioned means is as described below:
Under the normality, diverter switch 11 between video memory 10 and the image processor 20 is for normally closed, when video memory 10 is delivered to image processor 20 with certain speed one by one with the image of video data, producing bit stream (BS, Bit Stream) after its compression delivers on the network through flow buffer 30, network transceivers 31.
At this moment, processing unit 40 receives and monitors the flow information (BI) of flow buffer 30 simultaneously, this flow buffer (BI) is the mode with first in first out (FIFO), the data that image processor 20 is sent here is kept in, be fed through network transceivers 31 then in regular turn, therefore, when the available buffer capacity of flow buffer (30) diminishes, promptly represent the network bandwidth narrow down (can't send out swimmingly), so sample time of conversion diverter switch 11, and make diverter switch 11 carry out switching motion with fixed frequency, make video data present rule and frame-skipping (skip frame) uniformly thus.And when the frame-skipping action produces, processing unit 40 also writes down and leaks frame per second (the SFR) (numerical value of non-aforementioned painstakingly frame-skipping, but the processing that is painstakingly produced beyond the frame-skipping is not as good as the leakage lattice quantity that is produced), when leaking frame per second (SFR) greater than a set point, see through painstakingly frame-skipping to reduce the data transmission quantity though promptly represent the network bandwidth, so still belong on the low side, so must strengthen the frequency of this frame-skipping action, up to leaking till frame per second (SFR) is reduced to a special value.
Also simultaneously reference image information (II) and flow information (BI) of processing unit 40 again, whether the former is too big in order to change between image before and after judging, when the front and back image change is too big, bit number after its compression heightens, under this situation, when learning the capacity step-down of flow buffer 30 by flow information (BI), then processing unit 40 promptly drives diverter switch 11 disconnections, to give up the big image of variable quantity, and get its next open image, avoid the flow spike of flow buffer 30 thus, do not relieve yet as the flow of flow buffer 30, promptly give up following image in regular turn, till the flow of flow buffer 30 relieves.
Moreover processing unit 40 is also according to user's set data WT itself, with the frame-skipping frequency of decision diverter switch 11.
Can disclose by following working curve diagram with aforesaid operating characteristic: at first as shown in Figure 2, the equidistant rectangular frame of arranging is an image, curve B WI represents the change curve of the network bandwidth, and the horizontal line of differing heights is represented different image transfer rates (fps) (vertical axis) respectively.
As shown in Figure 3, when the picture of transmission is a still image, Qu Yang bit transfer rate (BRI) is though be certain value each time, right image of being taken a sample also is subject to bandwidth, is example with the image transfer rate as if being set in 30fps, and be a unit interval (T) with per 15 images, N is expression step value (STEP) on the drawing, and the staircase curve in the drawing is the dynamic changing curve of expression image transfer rate of the present invention, by (BWI) curve leading portion (T1) as can be known, the 30fps that sets certainly can't be successfully only be slightly larger than intactly transmission under the situation of 20fps at this network bandwidth, so under the situation that flow buffer 30 has little time to relieve when holding next group bit stream (data) again (off-capacity of flow buffer 30), make diverter switch 11 at the pact of T1 in the cycle 3 image (images 4 of position uniformly-spaced, 8,14 places) produce leakage lattice phenomenon.In the T2 cycle, because aforementioned leakage frame per second (SFR) is recorded as 3, greater than one relatively mean value (present embodiment is 2.5) (the serve as reasons mean value of difference of time two picture rate of this example is determined, i.e. (20-15)/2=2.5), so make the present invention that picture rate is reduced to 20fps position standard (evenly neglecting 5 images in the cycle at T2), even the image 17 in the cycle, 20,23,26,29 positions are carried out painstakingly frame-skipping and are handled, so shown in the drawing relevant position, network has been reduced to below the 15fps, cause image 18,21,24,27,30 equipotentials are buied property and are given birth to totally 5 leakage lattice phenomenons (leaking frame per second is 5), according to aforementioned principles, this leaks scale value greater than relatively mean value is a lot of, so then further the image transfer rate is reduced to the value of 15fps in the T3 cycle, because this moment, the network bandwidth went up to the 20fps, make under the situation of this low transfer rate, can expectably make respective image send out and the inerrancy generation, therefore, leakage frame per second in the T4 cycle is zero or is lower than aforementioned relatively mean value, be with, even at T4 cycle image transfer rate rise single order (rise) to 20fps position standard, right this moment, network is reduced to again below the preceding rheme standard once again, causing leaking frame per second (SFR) increases, in like manner, it is corresponding reduction image transfer rate of the present invention, so constantly correspondingly adjust the data quantity that instant video was transmitted in the unit interval according to the variation of the network bandwidth, the consistent uniformity that keeps the picture frame frequency causes data to block and falls an image quality aggravation phenomenon that is caused because of irregular because of bandwidth avoiding.
Can find out concrete technology contents of the present invention and operation principle thereof by above-mentioned explanation, utilize preceding method, can be when the network bandwidth reduces, correspondingly video image being done inhomogeneity painstakingly frame-skipping handles, to reduce the data transmission quantity of unit interval, make it can be along with the network bandwidth changes, thus can be when bandwidth changes, avoid can't smooth and easy transmission problem, and the most important thing is that wherein the present invention still keeps suitable continuity for adopting the uniformity frame-skipping treatment step of equi-spaced apart before and after the image, so still maintain a fixing image quality, this measure, particularly effective for saving from damage on the surveillance of the static state that need on same picture, show a plurality of besels, though and there is the frame-skipping problem dynamic image aspect, so still do not lose continuity, in addition, cause the specific image of the excessive data quantity of flow buffer generating overflow mistake, can leak lattice equally and handle at meeting, to avoid the flow spike, effectively solve high data image processing not as good as the mosaic phenomenon that is presented.So really possessed significant practicality, novelty and progressive with these technology, and met the condition of patent of invention, so mention application in accordance with the law.
