Background:
Efficient video codec techniques are key to the implementation of multimedia data storage and transmission, and advanced video codec techniques generally exist in a standard fashion. Currently, a typical video compression standard includes an MPEG series international standard provided by a Moving Picture expert group (MPEG for short) under the international organization for standardization (ISO); the h.26x series of Video compression standards proposed by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU), the JVT Video coding standard being formulated by the Joint Video Team (JVT) established by ISO and ITU, and the like. The JVT standard employs a novel coding technique that is significantly more efficient than any of the existing coding standards. The formal name of the JVT standard in ISO is the tenth part of the MPEG-4 standard, and the formal name in ITU is the H.264 standard.
The video encoding process is a process of encoding each frame of image of a video sequence. In the JVT video coding standard, the coding of each frame of image is based on macroblocks. When each frame image is encoded, intra (I-frame) encoding, predictive (P-frame) encoding, bidirectional predictive (B-frame) encoding, and the like can be used. The feature of I-frame coding is that no reference to other frames is required in the encoding and decoding. In general: when encoding, I-frame, P-frame and B-frame encoding is performed alternately, for example: in the order IBBPBBP. However, for some special applications, for example: applications requiring low computational complexity, low storage capacity, or requiring real-time compression, etc., may use only I-frames for encoding. In addition, full I-frame coded video also has features that facilitate editing. In I-frame coding, redundancy within macroblocks is eliminated by orthogonal transforms, such as Discrete Cosine Transforms (DCT), wavelet transforms, and the like. While the traditional video coding algorithm usually adopts a prediction method on a coefficient domain of orthogonal transformation when eliminating redundancy between macro blocks. However, this prediction can only be done on the dc component and is therefore inefficient.
In I frame coding, the adoption of multi-directional spatial prediction is the mainstream of the current research, and a good effect is obtained. Spatial prediction within a frame refers to: when I frame coding and decoding are carried out, firstly, according to a certain mode, the prediction of the current block is generated by the information (such as adjacent reconstructed blocks) in the frame (which can be obtained by a decoding end); then, the predicted block is subtracted from the actual block to be encoded to obtain a residual, and the residual is encoded.
The multi-directional spatial prediction technology is well applied to video coding. The JVT video coding standard uses this technique. However, there are two major drawbacks to the existing multidirectional spatial prediction techniques: one is that the existing technology can generate serious flicker phenomenon when applied to continuous I frame coding, which affects visual effect; the other one is that: multi-directional spatial prediction changes the probability distribution of the residual image over the coefficient domain, while existing methods still use a fixed zigzag scanning order of the transform coefficients, see fig. 4, which refers to the coding order of the coefficients of the transformed quantized block in a video coding scheme, which order has a large impact on the coding efficiency. In current coding systems (jpeg, mpeg, etc.), this fixed scanning order is commonly used for blocks of the same size, and thus the coding efficiency is not optimal. JVT is an efficient video coding standard currently being formulated. It was first formulated by the ITU (international telecommunications Union) and further adopted by the ISO/IEC international standards organization as part ten of ISO/IEC 14496(MPEG 4).
However, when the JVT is used for encoding all I frames, the reconstructed image may flicker during playback. After analysis and verification, it is considered to be mainly caused by the variable block size and the relative randomness of intra prediction when encoding.
Variable block size refers to: an encoded macroblock may be subdivided into smaller subblocks according to an encoding mode. The size of the sub-blocks is different when the partition modes are different. The variable block size causes flicker, mainly due to: the blocks with the same position and basically unchanged content of the previous frame and the next frame adopt different segmentation modes during encoding, so that reconstruction results are greatly different. This is avoided in part by appropriately modifying the encoding strategy of the encoder without modifying the decoder. See fig. 1, which is a schematic diagram illustrating the subdivision of a macroblock in a JVT into various nibbles.
Common coding schemes typically only have inter-prediction to remove temporal redundancy, which is removed by various transforms. JVT proposes intra-frame prediction, which is used together with transform coding to eliminate spatial redundancy, thereby greatly improving coding efficiency. Specifically, there are two kinds of modes, i.e., an Intra4 × 4 mode and an Intra16 × 16 mode (the Intra4 × 4 mode and the Intra16 × 16 mode are two kinds of macroblock partition modes, there are 9 prediction modes in the Intra4 × 4 mode, and there are 4 prediction modes in the Intra16 × 16 mode). Referring to fig. 2, in the Intra4 × 4 mode, each subblock in a macroblock is predicted Intra. The middle pixel of each 4 x 4 small block will be predicted by the already decoded 17 pixels in the neighboring blocks.
Referring to fig. 3, the prediction modes within the frame are divided into 9 (mode 0 to mode 8), wherein mode 2 is DC prediction in the MPEG-4 standard.
In the Intra16 x 16 mode, it is assumed that the pixels of the block to be predicted are denoted by P (x, y),
wherein x, y is 0..15,
the predicted block left critical block pixel P (-1, y), y 0..15,
the predicted block has a critical block pixel P (x, -1), x being 0.. 15.
Defining 4 prediction modes, which are respectively: vertical prediction, horizontal prediction, DC prediction, and planar prediction. There are also four prediction modes for chroma blocks, which are substantially similar to luma blocks.
The relative randomness of intra prediction refers to: due to the difference in the information within the frames used to generate the prediction and the difference in the prediction modes, the prediction values of the blocks at the same positions and with substantially unchanged contents in the two previous and next frames are generally different. When continuous I-frame coding is carried out on a system without intra-frame prediction, the small difference between the front and rear corresponding blocks can be removed by the quantization operation of a transform domain. The more similar to an lnd macroblock, the greater the probability that this difference is removed. If the two blocks are identical, the reconstructed image is also identical. However, for systems with intra prediction, the reconstructed image consists of two additions: a predicted image and a reconstructed residual image. Due to the quantization process of the frequency domain, the frequency domain coefficient of the reconstructed residual meets the integral multiple of the quantization step; without this process, the prediction image has a low probability that its frequency domain coefficients just satisfy an integer multiple of the quantization step size, and in fact if its frequency domain coefficients are divided by the quantization step size, the fractional part of the resulting coefficients can be considered as a random number between 0 and 1 (when the quantization step size is not large), i.e., the probability of any number between 0 and 1 (including 0) is equal.
Since the reconstructed image is composed of such two parts, the fractional part of the coefficient obtained by dividing its frequency domain coefficient by the quantization step can also be considered as a random number between 0 and 1. For the two corresponding blocks before and after the pixel value is relatively close, because of the relative randomness of the reconstructed image in the frequency domain, the similarity of the reconstructed images is not closely related to the similarity of the reconstructed images. Even if they are themselves identical, the probability of the reconstructed images being identical is small.
Referring to fig. 5 and 6, the existing encoding process is: the reconstructed image is processed by a prediction module under the control of a mode selection module, a predicted image is output, the predicted image and the current coding image are processed by a residual error coefficient calculation module, then are processed by a scanning module and entropy coding, and finally a coding code stream is output.
Referring to fig. 7, the signal flow of the decoding part of the multi-directional spatial prediction coding system in the prior art is as follows: the decoded code stream is output as a video stream after entropy decoding, inverse quantization and inverse transformation and then compensation of a predicted image.
The above-mentioned encoding/decoding process cannot overcome the flicker phenomenon generated when the video encoding method based on multi-direction spatial prediction is applied to continuous I frame encoding, and the encoding efficiency of the video encoding method based on multi-direction spatial prediction cannot be improved due to the adoption of a fixed scanning mode.

In the JVT coding standard, an embodiment of the present invention implements the anti-flicker processing by using the following steps:

2. the predicted image is transformed to a frequency domain, and the transformation method is the same as the transformation method adopted when the residual image is processed in JVT; for example, for a4 × 4 block, assuming the input is X, the output Y is:
wherein, Y is the frequency domain coefficient of the predicted image, and X is the predicted image;
3. quantizing the frequency domain coefficient Y of the predicted image; the quantization coefficient Qp is the same as the Qp adopted when processing the residual image, and a matrix of the quantized frequency domain coefficient is set as Z; the quantization formula is:
Z=Q(Y)=(Y×Quant(Qp)+Qconst(Qp))>>Q_bit(Qp)
4. carrying out inverse quantization on the matrix Z of the frequency domain coefficients to obtain W; the inverse quantization here is distinguished from the inverse quantization in JVT: the inverse quantization in JVT is not on the same scale as the quantization,
in JVT, its inverse quantization formula is:
W=DQ(Z)=(Z×DQuant(Qp)+DQconst(Qp))>>Q_per(Qp)
in order to restore the quantized coefficients to the scale before quantization, the inverse quantization formula must be redesigned: the inverse quantization formula of the invention is:
W=DQ’(Z)=(Z×DQuant’(Qp)+DQcons t’(Qp))>>Q_per’(Qp)
also, the new formula must satisfy:
DQuant' (Qp) xQuant (Qp) approximately equal to 2Q_per’(Qp)×Q_bit(Qp)
5. Transforming a current block I to be coded into a frequency domain to obtain a frequency domain image F; the method is the same as above;
6. subtracting W from the frequency domain image F to directly obtain a frequency domain residual error image S;
7. quantizing the frequency domain residual image S to obtain a quantized frequency domain residual coefficient C, wherein the formula is the same as the above;

11. inversely transforming the frequency domain residual error coefficient C to obtain a primary reconstructed image B, and using the original inverse transformation method of JVT according to the block size and the mode;
12. and filtering the reconstructed image B to remove the blocking effect to obtain an output image 0 of the current block.
See fig. 10, 11
One of the processes at the decoding end:
1. entropy decoding to obtain a prediction mode and a frequency domain residual error coefficient C;
2. and (3) generating a predicted image: and according to the prediction mode obtained by entropy decoding, generating a prediction image from the decoded image of the adjacent block of the current decoding block. This step is the same as the original step of JVT;

4. quantizing the frequency domain coefficient Y of the predicted image to obtain a matrix Z of the frequency domain coefficient, wherein the step is the same as the step 3 during encoding;
5. compensating the matrix Z of the frequency domain coefficients to the frequency domain residual error coefficients C; i.e., C ═ C + Z; step 9 of the same encoding process;
6. quantizing the frequency domain residual error coefficient C by using a JVT formula; step 10 of the same encoding flow;
7. inversely transforming the frequency domain residual error coefficient C to obtain a primary reconstructed image B; using original inverse transformation method of JVT according to block size and mode; same as the 11 th step of the encoding flow;
8. filtering the reconstructed image B to remove the block effect to obtain an output image 0 of the current block; same as the 12 th step of the encoding flow;
referring to fig. 12 and 13, the second and third processes of the decoding end of the present invention: basically the same as one of the above-described processes at the decoding end, except that: one of the processing of the decoding end is directly compensated after quantization, the second processing of the decoding end is compensated after inverse quantization, and the third processing of the decoding end is compensated after inverse transformation.
The second and third schemes are similar to the first scheme, except that the compensation positions are different, and according to the difference of the compensation positions, inverse quantization and inverse transformation are carried out on the quantized predicted image.
The method for determining the scanning sequence based on the prediction mode can effectively improve the coding efficiency of the video coding method based on the multidirectional spatial prediction. In the JVT coding standard, a prediction mode based scanning module is implemented using the following steps:
in the design stage: firstly, respectively counting the probability that the coefficient of each frequency of the residual image is not 0 in each mode; then, a scan order table is generated in the order of the probabilities from large to small (for example, expressed by a variable matrix T (m, i): the position of the coefficient of the i-th scan in the m-th mode is T (m, i)). Instead of a single zigzag scan table z (i).
In the encoding and decoding stage:
when scanning is carried out, according to the selected mode m, the scanning sequence table T is searched according to the increasing sequence of i, and the residual error coefficients are scanned according to the sequence of the searched positions.
Referring to fig. 9, the encoding module in the apparatus of the present invention is further provided with a new scanning module between the residual coefficient calculating module and the entropy encoding module based on the apparatus of the prior art, and the new scanning module selects a predetermined scanning order according to the control of the mode selecting module, thereby improving the processing efficiency.

Taking fig. 11 as an example, the specific decoding process includes: and after entropy decoding is carried out on the code stream. The predicted image processed by the transformation quantization module and the code stream information processed by the entropy decoding are compensated in the prediction compensation module, and then are output after being processed by the inverse quantization module and the inverse transformation module in sequence. The difference from fig. 11 is: the prediction compensation positions shown in fig. 12 and 13 are located after the inverse quantization module or the inverse transform module, respectively.
