Abstract
The image coding apparatus does not determine the intra-frame prediction mode based on the prediction error of the entire blocks included in a macro block, but executes intra-frame prediction with the predetermined intra-frame prediction mode for a certain block. The block selection unit judges that the current block to be coded is a prediction error calculation block or a non-prediction error calculation block. In the case where the current block is a prediction error calculation block, the mode error value calculation unit calculates the prediction error by the sum of absolute differences and the like for all of the intra-frame prediction modes, the inter-mode comparison unit compares the prediction errors, and as a result of the comparison, the intra-frame prediction mode having the minimum prediction errors is determined as the intra-frame prediction mode. In the case where the current block is a non-prediction error calculation block, the prediction error is not calculated. As an alternative method the prediction mode estimation unit determines the intra-frame prediction mode based on the neighboring prediction mode information stored in the storage unit.

The image information of the present frame that is encoded is input to the piece selected cell 41 from external device (ED).
In piece selected cell 41, the current block that is encoded is divided into predicated error computing block and nonanticipating Error Calculation piece, the predicated error computing block is used for determining intra prediction mode by calculating predicated error, determines intra prediction mode but not the predicated error computing block is used for not calculating predicated error.In fact in piece selected cell 41, store one or more patterns of cutting apart in advance, these cut apart the arrangement that pattern is represented predicated error computing block and nonanticipating Error Calculation piece." cut apart " by determining that cutting apart one of pattern carries out.Fig. 6 A to 6F is the exemplary plot that is divided into predicated error computing block and nonanticipating Error Calculation piece with 4 * 4.Numeral coded sequence in each 4 * 4.Or rather, Fig. 6 A shows only to calculate and is positioned at upper left prediction errors, and does not calculate the situation of other three prediction errors.Fig. 6 B shows only to calculate and is positioned at two prediction errors of upper left side and lower left, and does not calculate the situation of two other prediction errors.Fig. 6 C shows and only calculates two prediction errors that are positioned at the top, and does not calculate the situation of two other prediction errors of below.The situation of three prediction errors during Fig. 6 D shows and calculates 4 * 4 except being positioned at a bottom-right pixel.During showing and calculate 16 * 16, Fig. 6 E is positioned at the situation of seven prediction errors of the top and the leftmost side.Fig. 6 F shows as carreau, calculates 4 * 4 the upper left side and the situation of bottom-right two prediction errors of being positioned at.Shown in Fig. 6 A to 6F, with regard to predicated error computing block and nonanticipating Error Calculation piece, depend on and cut apart figure that the number that calculates the piece of its predicated error is inequality.In piece selected cell 41, store the composite diagram of predicated error computing block and nonanticipating Error Calculation piece in the macro block in advance, and predicated error computing block and nonanticipating Error Calculation piece are that the processing load by considering coding method selected cell 50 and the processing operational ton of each width of cloth composite diagram are determined.For example under the processing of coding method selected cell 50 load condition with higher, select to have height ratio nonanticipating Error Calculation piece cut apart figure.On the other hand, under the relatively low situation of the processing of coding method selected cell 50 load, select to have height ratio the predicated error computing block cut apart figure.These only are some examples of option, and option is not limited to these examples.In addition, the macro block of same frame both can use the identical figure of cutting apart for whole, also can use the different figure of cutting apart for whole.
Mode error value computing unit 42 uses the present frame information of the current block that will be encoded that is confirmed as the predicated error computing block, and the present frame that calculating will be encoded is each prediction on intra-frame prediction mode error optionally.Absolute difference sum (SAD) is generally used for predicated error with difference of two squares sum (SSD).
Next, comparing unit 43 compares each prediction on intra-frame prediction mode error between pattern, and determines to have the predicated error of minimum value.Intra prediction mode corresponding to this predicated error is confirmed as, and has been defined as the intra prediction mode of the current block that will be encoded of predicated error computing block.

For example, the prediction error value of supposing each intra prediction mode M of k piece be E (k, M).Notice that M represents intra prediction mode 0 to 9.The equation of the addition value S (M) of each intra prediction mode is as follows:
S (M)=∑
K=0 to 3E (k, M)
Therefore, the intra prediction mode M that S (M) value has minimum value is selected as the intra prediction mode of the 3rd piece.

(second embodiment)
Hereinafter with reference to each width of cloth accompanying drawing, the second embodiment of the present invention is described.
The unitary construction of the picture coding device 1 of second embodiment is identical with first embodiment shown in Figure 4, therefore no longer comprises its description here.
Figure 16 is the block diagram of the intraprediction unit structure of expression second embodiment of the invention.Intraprediction unit 11 is by skipping some pixel, calculates in 16 * 16 macro blocks 8 * 8 predicated error, and 4 * 4 intra prediction mode in determining 8 * 8.Intraprediction unit 11 comprises comparing unit 43 and piece predictor calculation unit 62 between pixel selection unit 61, mode error value computing unit 42, pattern.
Here the predicated error computing unit is corresponding to piece predictor calculation unit 62, and the macro block mode determining unit is corresponding to comparing unit 43 between pixel selection unit 61, mode error value computing unit 42 and pattern.
The image information of the present frame that is encoded is input to the pixel selection unit 61 from external equipment.
In pixel selection unit 61, in 64 pixels from comprise 8 * 8 of the current block that will be encoded, select the pixel that is used to calculate each prediction on intra-frame prediction mode error.
Figure 17 is an exemplary plot of selecting 16 pixels that are used to calculate all optional prediction on intra-frame prediction mode errors from 8 * 8.In Figure 17, selected pixel is represented with hacures.Unselected pixel is represented with white circle.In the present embodiment, pixel selection unit 61 is selected to be positioned evenly over being used in 8 * 8 and is calculated the pixel of predicated error.Or rather, be each 4 * 4 pixels of selecting similar numbers, and also select being positioned at the pixel of delegation and being positioned at the pixel of same row of similar number respectively.In other words, consider that the side that selected pixel is not positioned at this piece selects pixel, and more pixel adjacent can be as the reference of all optional intra prediction modes.
Figure 18 (a) is the figure of 4 * 4 middle number of pixels of expression.Figure 18 (b) is that the pixel figure of 8 * 8 middle number of pixels is afterwards skipped in expression.Shown in Figure 18 (a) and Figure 18 (b), 4 * 4 with 8 * 8 in number of pixels be identical, therefore do not skip the situation (a) of pixel for calculating 4 * 4 predicated error and calculate 8 * 8 predicated error and select for the situation (b) with the pixel of 4 * 4 similar numbers by skipping pixel, mode error value computing unit 42 performed operational tons are identical.According to this method, the pixel that is used for calculating predicated error is positioned evenly over 8 * 8, and the pixel value that is used for each intra prediction mode thus in 8 * 8 is reflected in the result of predicated error equably.Therefore, be better than based on the situation (a) of only selecting intra prediction mode by the predicated error of 4 * 4 middle calculated for pixel values in upper left side, under based on the situation (b) of selecting intra prediction mode by the predicated error that is positioned evenly over the calculated for pixel values in 8 * 8, can expect more accurate infra-frame prediction.
Figure 19 A is illustrated in by intra prediction mode " 0 " to select equably under the situation of the pixel in 8 * 8, the figure of related neighbor, and Figure 19 B is the intra prediction mode " 0 " that is illustrated in by in 8 * 8, under the situation on all pixels are positioned at from the upper left side to bottom-right diagonal, the figure of related neighbor.In Figure 19 A, the neighbor that relate to comes mark with grid.Shown in Fig. 2 B,, on the vertical direction of piece, calculate predicated error by intra prediction mode " 0 ".On the other hand, in the piece of Figure 19 A, the selected pixel that is used for calculating predicated error is positioned evenly over 8 * 8.Therefore because these pixels are present in each row in the piece, therefore relate to come from the adjacent up encoding block of current block in 8 pixels in the middle of the one-row pixels bottom.In the piece shown in Figure 19 B, use this pattern " 0 ", selected pixel is positioned at from the upper left side to bottom-right diagonal, and image pattern 19A is the same, because these pixels are present in each row in the piece, therefore relate to come from the adjacent up encoding block of current block in the pixel of similar number, i.e. 8 pixels in the middle of the one-row pixels bottom.
Figure 20 A is illustrated in by intra prediction mode " 4 ", and selected pixel is positioned evenly under the situation in 8 * 8, the figure of related neighbor.Figure 20 B is that intra prediction mode " 4 " is passed through in expression, under the situation on selected pixel is positioned at from the upper left side to bottom-right diagonal, and the figure of related neighbor.Intra prediction mode 4 is shown in Fig. 2 B, calculates the pattern of predicated error on the direction from the upper left side to the lower left.On the other hand, in the piece shown in Figure 20 A, the selected pixel that is used for calculating predicated error is positioned evenly over 8 * 8, so these pixels almost are present in each row.Among Figure 20 A, in the upper right corner and the lower left corner, on bottom-right direction, all do not have pixel, therefore with the delegation bottom of the adjacent up encoding block of current block in, relate to 7 pixels.In addition, with current block in rightmost one row of the adjacent encoding block in left side, relate to 7 pixels.Compare with the situation of Figure 20 A, in the piece of Figure 20 B, selected pixel is positioned at from the upper left side to bottom-right diagonal, and all pixels all are positioned at from the upper left side to a bottom-right line, and lists at other and not have pixel.Therefore, use intra prediction mode 4, with current block in rightmost one row of the adjacent encoding block in left side, only relate to 2 pixels.
Pixel selection unit 61 according to second embodiment, as Figure 19 A, Figure 19 B, seen among Figure 20 A and Figure 20 B, the selected pixel that is used for calculating predicated error is positioned evenly over this piece and independent of direction, thereby the information of relevant 8 * 8 blocks of middle images can be reflected as the predicated error that all intra prediction modes will calculate equably, and the more accurate infra-frame prediction to nonanticipating Error Calculation piece is to be worth expectation thus.
Next, the information that mode error value computing unit 42 uses about the present frame that will be encoded, be defined as being used to calculating 8 * 8 of pixel of predicated error for use, calculating for the current block that will be encoded is optional each prediction on intra-frame prediction mode error.Absolute difference sum (SAD) is generally used for predicated error with difference of two squares sum (SSD).Have only selected pixel to be used to calculate predicated error here, rather than use 64 pixels, therefore can reduce operational ton.
Next, comparing unit 43 compares each prediction on intra-frame prediction mode error between pattern, and determines to have the predicated error of minimum value.All intra prediction modes of 4 * 4 that are confirmed as comprising in 8 * 8 corresponding to the intra prediction mode of this predicated error.
Next, all pixels that piece predictor calculation unit 62 uses in determined intra prediction mode and the piece are calculated predicated error.In standard H.264, the profile (profile) that can be used for 8 * 8 intra prediction modes is limited, and this predictive mode can not be used for master profile (main profile).According to preceding method,, can reduce operational ton effectively by all intra prediction modes of 4 * 4 in determining 8 * 8.
About the advanced profile (high profile) that can be used for 8 * 8 intra prediction modes, use determined 8 * 8 intra prediction modes, 8 * 8 infra-frame predictions can be carried out, and 4 * 4 infra-frame predictions need not be carried out.
Figure 21 be expression by skipping the pixel in shown in Figure 17 8 * 8, and determine the flow chart of the order of intra prediction mode.In other words, in the method, calculate this predicated error, and select to have the intra prediction mode of minimum prediction error value by the pixel of skipping in 8 * 8.The pixel (S801) that predicated error is calculated is selected to be used in pixel selection unit 61 in 8 * 8.Piece predictor calculation unit 62 uses selected pixel, calculates selectable each prediction on intra-frame prediction mode error (S802) that is used for this piece in the middle of 9 kinds of intra prediction modes.Judge these 8 * 8 then by 4 * 4 intraframe predictive codings or by 8 * 8 intraframe predictive codings (S803).Next, under the situation of encoding by 4 * 4 infra-frame predictions, to determine to have the predictive mode of predicated error minimum value be to be used for 8 * 8 all intra prediction modes of 4 * 4 (S804) to comparing unit 43 between pattern, and under the situation of being encoded by 8 * 8 infra-frame predictions, the predictive mode with predicated error minimum value is to be used for 8 * 8 intra prediction mode (S805).
