Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to the video data compression technology, particularly relate to the method for estimation in a kind of video data compression.
Background technology
In multimedia application, the shared data volume of one 640 * 480 256 color images is 300kB, and dynamic video requires per second to play 25～30 two field pictures, thereby play 256 color look video images with 640 * 480 window, even do not having under the situation of voice data, also require the data volume about per second processing 8MB, this shows, a slice capacity is that the CD-ROM dish of 650MB only can be stored about about 80 seconds dynamic video.In addition, the data transmission rate maximum of ordinary PC isa bus can only reach 5MB/ second, can't real-time Transmission dynamic video data.Therefore, for storage and the processing in real time of carrying out multi-medium data, must adopt some technology to reduce the data volume of multi-medium data, wherein, important is the video data compression technology.
It is I=D-du that multimedia data volume and amount of information are closed, and wherein, I is an amount of information, and D is a data volume, and du is an amount of redundancy.Amount of information is the key data that will transmit, and data redundancy is useless data, there is no need transmission.Have mass of redundancy data on the vision signal, this is the basis of carrying out video data compression, and the redundancy of multimedia video signal is present in structure and statistics two aspects.
In configuration aspects, redundancy shows as very strong spatial coherence and temporal correlation, spatial coherence is an in-frame correlation, temporal correlation is a frame-to-frame correlation, this is that the variation of most of regional signal of image is slow because generally speaking, and especially background parts is almost constant, so there is stronger correlation in vision signal between adjacent image point, between adjacent lines and even between consecutive frame, this correlation just shows as spatial redundancy and time redundancy.
Aspect statistics, redundancy shows as the limitation of human eye when observing image, human eye all has one to delimit to image detail resolution, Motion Resolution rate and contrast resolution's sensation, so considerable image information is inessential for human eye, even without these information, human eye thinks that also image is intact and enough good.So these information are exactly redundant information, under the necessarily required prerequisite, can suitably reduce signal accuracy to picture quality satisfied, realize data compression.
In image compression encoding method of being used widely and standard, mainly utilize three kinds of means that image is compressed: to utilize discrete cosine transform (DCT) and vector quantization to eliminate in-frame correlation, utilize estimation to eliminate frame-to-frame correlation, the redundancy of utilizing the digital coding of entropy coding removal of images to bring.
The method of traditional elimination frame-to-frame correlation is an estimation, promptly,, calculate the motion vector of the data of present frame with respect to the former frame data at first in former frame search and its zone of mating most for the data of current image frame, after searching out the result, both differences are encoded.Therefore, the precision of estimation is the key factor of decision code efficiency.
Multiple motion estimation algorithm is arranged at present, as BMA.In BMA, every two field picture is divided into the sub-piece of the N * N pixel of two dimension, General N is 16, suppose the translational motion that all pixels works in each sub-piece equate, the sub-piece of the N * N of present frame is searched for the sub-piece that mates most with it in the neighborhood window of the sub-piece of former frame correspondence, the displacement of the match block of current sub-block and preceding frame on two dimensional surface is the motion vector that estimation obtains.
In the BMA search matched sub-block method also have multiple, as full search method.Full search method is each macro block for present frame, in the particular range (being generally neighborhood) of preceding frame, calculate the piece matching value of each point, each point in this neighborhood is match point, then with the match point of smallest blocks matching value correspondence as optimal match point, the motion vector of optimal match point correspondence is the motion vector of current macro.Usually, the piece matching value be in the match point corresponding blocks in macro block and the hunting zone one to one the difference absolute value of picture element gray value and, i.e. absolute difference and (SAD), described match point corresponding blocks is that match point is at the piece upper left corner, that equate with macroblock size.The computing formula of SAD is as follows:
Wherein, I
c(i, the j) gray value of pixel in the expression current macro, I
r((u v) is a motion vector for i+u, the j+v) gray value of the corresponding pixel of coupling macro block in the preceding frame of expression.
Top method is as an overall calculation piece matching value with a macro block, if in interior macroblocks, the direction of motion of different sub-pieces has different, then said method will produce than mistake, so in the method for estimating after improvement, adopt the method for multiple match pattern, piece match pattern commonly used has four kinds: 16 * 16,16 * 8,8 * 16 and 8 * 8, when calculating the piece matching value of a macro block, calculate the piece matching value SAD1 of whole macro block respectively, the piece matching value sum SAD2 of two horizontal sub-pieces, the piece matching value sum SAD4 of the piece matching value sum SAD3 of two vertical sub-pieces and four sub-pieces gets SAD1, SAD2, the block mode of minimum is as the block mode of macro block estimation among SAD3 and the SAD4.
Though this method reduces the error of estimation greatly, but, also there is big defective, promptly for each macro block, all need intactly pointwise to calculate the optimum matching point of all computing blocks in four kinds of block modes, between every kind of block mode without any contact, for example, when using 16 * 8 piece computing block matching value, do not utilize the piece matching value data of 16 * 16 piece, therefore cause the operand of estimation too big.

In the embodiment of above-mentioned estimation, be example with full search, but the present invention not only is confined to the method for full search, also can be applicable to any searching method, for example three steps search, diamond search etc.As long as write down the piece matching value of boy's piece under each motion vector earlier, can in the subsequent searches step, utilize the data of the piece matching value of front, only need to do the simple addition computing.
But, when estimation, the piece matching value that might need to calculate new search point (motion vector) or calculate interpolation point, and do not write down corresponding piece matching value in the search step in front, this just can't utilize the piece matching value information that has write down, and needs the piece matching value of this computing block of pointwise again.So, calculating computing block before the piece matching value of certain search point at every turn, can add a step: judge whether there is the sub-piece of forming this computing block piece matching value in the record at this search point, if then the piece matching value addition of the sub-piece of forming this computing block is obtained the piece matching value of computing block; Otherwise the piece matching value of this computing block at this search point calculated in pointwise.
In addition, in the above-described embodiments, earlier carry out estimation, because the hunting zone of this block mode is bigger usually, so can utilize the piece matching value of record when calculating the piece matching value of the computing block under other block mode more since 16 * 16 block mode.But the present invention does not get rid of the execution mode that carries out estimation earlier since 8 * 8 block mode yet.
In concrete implementation process, can carry out suitable improvement, to adapt to the concrete needs of concrete condition to the method according to this invention.Therefore be appreciated that according to the specific embodiment of the present invention just to play an exemplary role, not in order to restriction protection scope of the present invention.
