Definitions
- the technical field of the invention is that of bit rate reduction coding of moving image sequences, particularly video.
- Video coding applications are particularly numerous.
- IP Internet Protocol
- mobile (“IP Streaming”
- Computer storage of videos
- the invention is particularly applicable in the context of systems implementing an MPEG type coding.
- MPEG type coding is understood a coding based on a temporal prediction and a discrete cosine transformation based on a rigid block structure, often of fixed size, but possibly of variable size.
- the 2 representative standards for this coding family are the MPEG-4 standards from version 1 to 4 and ITU-T / H.263 up to version 2.
- the invention can also be applied in the context of the recommendation CCITT H26L (see for example the corresponding document VCEG-N83dl).
- MPEG-4 encoding is considered to be the state of the art not only of standardized encodings, but also of all published encodings.
- MPEG-4 or ITU-T / H.263 ++ encodings are considered to have reached their limits, in particular because of the rigid block structure of fixed size used to support all the calculations and coding operations. In particular, the temporal prediction of images within a sequence is insufficiently exploited.
- coders In order to obtain coded video sequences at low bit rate, coders generally reduce the size of the images and time sub-sample the original video sequence.
- the second technique has the drawback of restoring jerky movements which are more or less annoying for the user depending on the level of subsampling.
- an objective of the invention is precisely to overcome the limitations of the prior techniques. More specifically, an objective of the invention is to provide a technique for coding, and decoding, image data, which makes it possible to obtain a reduced bit rate and / or a better quality of reconstructed image, compared with the techniques. known.
- This objective is achieved, according to the invention, using an image coding method, selectively implementing at least two image coding modes, each optimizing the compression of at least one image. a video sequence based on different optimization criteria.
- information on the choice of one of said coding modes can be known to a decoder according to at least one of the techniques belonging to the group comprising: predefined choice, known during coding and decoding; information representative of the choice included in a data stream comprising at least some of the coded image data; - information representative of the choice included in a data stream independent of the coded image data; determination of the choice intrinsically, by the decoder.
- the method comprises a step of selecting a coding mode to be applied to said image, among at least: - a first coding optimizing a photometric representation of an image; a second coding optimizing a representation of the movement between at least two images.
- the present invention relates to a new video coding method by hybridization of a coding in particular of the MPEG type and of a coding by temporal interpolation based on a representation by meshes, as well as the decoding method and the structure of the binary representation. associated.
- said second coding takes account of at least one previous image and / or at least one following image coded using said first coding.
- said second coding takes account of a motion vector field calculated from the immediately preceding image coded using said first coding and / or a motion vector field calculated from the image immediately following coded using said first coding.
- these vector fields are applied to a mesh.
- said motion vector fields can be used to determine a deduced motion vector field, associated with an image coded using said second coding.
- said selection step is based on the implementation of a subsampling of fixed factor N, an image on N being coded using said first coding.
- this value N is variable, as a function of at least one predetermined criterion.
- said first coding implements a transformation on blocks of images and a temporal prediction by blocks.
- This transformation is for example of the DCT type, Hadamard transformation, wavelet transformation, ...
- This first coding can in particular be an MPEG-4 or H26L coding.
- type I (intra) and / or type P (predictive) images are preferably used (and not, preferably, type B images).
- said second coding advantageously rests on the implementation of a hierarchical mesh of M levels
- M being greater than or equal to 1, and for example a triangular mesh.
- the method preferably comprises a step for managing the occlusion zones.
- the data produced can be gathered in a single flow.
- Said data flows advantageously belong to the group comprising: a global header; - image data coded according to said first coding; image data coded according to said second coding.
- the transmission of flows can therefore take place independently. This allows in particular a progressive and / or partial decoding of the images, according to the means and the needs.
- the mesh-based approach avoids the usual block effects thanks to the use of continuous motion fields.
- the mesh technique makes it possible to detect occultations of “objects”, as well as an error coding well suited to these areas.
- MPEG type error coding By further combining an MPEG type error coding around these zones, it is possible to significantly improve the efficiency of the interpolation at a cost much lower than the bidirectional images (type B images) proposed by MPEG.
- the invention also relates, of course, to: the methods of decoding an image signal coded using the coding method described above; - the devices for coding an image signal coded using the coding method described above; the devices for decoding an image signal coded using the coding method described above (advantageously comprising means for determining at least part of a vector field and / or at least part of the occlusion zones, similar to those used during coding); devices for storing at least one image signal coded using the coding method described above; systems for coding, transmitting and / or decoding an image signal coded using the coding method described above (the choice of one of said coding modes can advantageously be known to a decoder according to at least one of the techniques belonging to the group comprising: predefined choice, known for coding and decoding; - information representative of the choice included in a data stream comprising at least some of the coded image data; information representative of the choice included in a data stream independent of the coded image data; - determination of the choice intrinsically, by
- this signal comprises at least one indicator indicating whether or not the process is activated.
- the signal comprises data specifying the structure of the frames, at the start of the video sequence and / or in each signal frame.
- a sequence coded using said second coding begins with a header specifying the number of frames coded according to this second coding.
- the signal comprises at least two data streams, which can be transmitted over independent transmission channels.
- said data streams advantageously belong to the group comprising: a global header; - image data coded according to said first coding; image data coded according to said second coding.
- the invention finds applications in numerous fields, and in particular in the fields belonging to the group comprising: digital television; - real-time video on network D? ; network real-time video to mobiles; storage of image data.

- FIG. 10 presents a block diagram of a decoder according to the invention.
- the embodiment of the invention described below essentially consists in the hybridization of an MPEG type coding, for example MPEG-4 with a mesh coding operating in interpolated mode, also called B mode or B images in the MPEG standards.
- MPEG-4 coding mentioned here can be replaced by any coder based on equivalent techniques, i.e. using a temporal prediction and a discrete cosine transformation based on a block structure, and the quantifications and codings entropy for the information generated.
- ITU-T / H.263 ++ coding can be substituted for MPEG-4 coding.
- the latter decides according to a certain decision process (for example, a temporal subsampling of a fixed factor) to code it with the MPEG-4 encoding module, or well with the mesh-based encoding module.
- a certain decision process for example, a temporal subsampling of a fixed factor
- the coded images in mesh mode use as references for their temporal prediction the coded images in MPEG-4 mode located immediately before or immediately after the group of coded images in mesh mode to which they belong.
- the key point of the compression efficiency of the invention is that the mesh-based motion compensation leads to a very powerful time prediction, for a very low associated coding cost.
- Figure 1 gives a general view of the principle of the coder.
- the incoming images are routed either to the MPEG encoding module, or to the mesh-based encoding module, according to a given decision mode, for example according to a predefined rhythm: 1 image on N is coded in MPEG, the others in interpolated mesh mode.
- N k the numbers of the images coded in MPEG mode.
- All the other images I RheinN k ⁇ l ⁇ N k + 1 are encoded by an encoder based on a mesh, for example triangular, operating in interpolated mode called mode B.
- the general principle of this encoder is as follows:
- motion compensation can be performed according to three approaches: with a forward estimate, with a back estimate or with a front estimate and a back estimate.
- 1) with an estimation before: • During the interpolation, the motion between I ⁇ and I t 2 is estimated. If the application of the motion vectors does not lead to any reversal (which corresponds to the predictable areas) then we perform motion compensation by weighting the vectors with a scalar k m / (tl + t2) (0 ⁇ k ⁇ l) so as to interpolate Im with m belonging to [tl, t2].
- the estimated image E2 is obtained. 3) the two together:
- Fields of forward and backward motion between the images N k and N k + 1 are calculated, in the form of hierarchical meshes, for example triangular, T b k and T f k + 1 , as indicated in FIG. 2.
- Such meshes are obtained by dividing certain meshes, for example, the triangular meshes are divided into 4 sub-triangles, according to a certain criterion during the process of estimation of the movement. At each level of the hierarchy, the decisions of division or not are taken for each mesh. Once these divisions have been decided, the adjacent meshes of the divided meshes are then divided so as to maintain a conforming mesh structure.
- the initial mesh, before division (top of the hierarchy), can be arbitrary.
- the motion estimator decides to divide triangles 3 and 8. this results in the division of triangles 2, 4, 7 and 9. the process is iterated up to a predefined level of hierarchy.
- • - ⁇ er (e) ⁇ denotes the set of its three nodes or vertices, numbered i, j, k with positions p ⁇ , p and p k ,
- Such a model defines an everywhere continuous field. In addition, it allows fine control of the representation accuracy, an essential characteristic for compression.
- the nodal motion vectors are calculated so as to minimize a prediction error.
- Different mesh-based motion estimators can be used, for example the one described in patent FR No. 98 11227, or FR No. 99 15568.
- the important point is that the final mesh results from a hierarchical process starting from an initial mesh by divisions.
- This hierarchical character is in fact used for the differential coding of the nodal motion vectors between a node and its parent nodes (the ends of the arc on which it has been inserted).
- the structure of the mesh is recalculated at the decoder on the basis of the knowledge of the initial mesh, and of the mesh division indicators.
- the occultation zones that is to say not predictable in the image N k from the image N k +! or vice versa, due to the recovery or the discovery of objects, are detected.
- the figure illustrates the occultation detection based on the overlapping of triangles after displacement.
- the coder can continue the motion estimation by deactivating the triangles of the occultation zones, so as to obtain less biased displacement vectors.
- the reference image for a possible prediction is selected from I Nk , I N (k + 1) , but also I c Uberwhich is the image obtained at time 1 by motion compensation with the mesh T b k or T f k + 1 at a level where there is not yet an overlap of mesh. More precisely, the choice between I Nk and I N (k + 1) simply depends on the mesh T b k or T f k + 1 having generated the current occultation zone. Then, this mesh is used to predict the image and give I e,. The choice between I ° ⁇ and I Nk or + ⁇ se ⁇ based on prediction error criteria: the image giving the lowest error is retained. Thus, it suffices to insert 1 bit in the bit stream, per zone, to code the choice of the prediction retained.
- a motion estimate is then made between 1, (the image to be coded) and Ii (the result of the prediction of mode 1) on the occultation area.
- the residual prediction error is coded according to a procedure defined below. Mode 3; No prediction is made and the original values of the pixels of the area are coded.
- the texture is then approximated on each mesh according to a choice: -
- the meshes rich in high frequencies are coded based on transform in discrete cosine, known as DCT -
- DCT discrete cosine
- the smoother meshes are coded by a model of finite elements, affine .
- the approach adopted makes it possible to conserve the low coding cost associated with a regular hierarchy of meshes while allowing local adaptation to the content of the images made possible by the irregular decomposition of meshes.
- the meshes are subdivided into 4 triangular sub-meshes up to a given level.
- an optional permutation of the diagonals of the quadrilaterals generated by 2 adjacent triangles can be implemented, if this induces a reduction in the approximation error.
- the nodes of the triangular mesh carry the photometric information (color, error) and the interpolation for the points inside the triangle is carried out by a finite element of Lagrange, also called affine interpolation.
- v (J3) can be one of the photometric components Y, U or N of the point, or even the prediction error for these components.
- Figure 4 describes the different stages of the process: selection of the triangle T, affine transformation of this into a right isosceles triangle T '. Due to the affine transformation, the pixels of the triangle are no longer located on a regular orthogonal grid, and the photometric values of the interior of the reference triangle should be resampled. For this, we use a process analogous to that of motion compensation in the image (in this case the affine transformation), using an interpolator, for example bilinear.
- the affine transformation F and its inverse F 1 are defined by the following equations:
- the photometric values M (i, j) an triangle T '(therefore of block M, symmetrized of T') are obtained by inverse transformation F "1 then interpolation F of the texture of the image to be coded: where the coefficient M (i ⁇ , j x ) is the value at point Q (X, Y) whose transform P (x, y) is F ⁇ Q)
- I v denotes the interpolator used to calculate the value of the image at the point, with potentially non-integer coordinates.
- the reconstruction f of the texture F is given by: or /. denotes the interpolated texture from the values of block M ', quantified version of M.
- a scale factor ⁇ is introduced for the calculation of block M; (of size N, XN ( ) for each triangle i: or :
- ⁇ a nested hierarchical mesh is defined on the area to be coded, by creating a regular initial mesh then iterative sub-di vision of the triangles into 4 sub-triangles by insertion of new nodes in the middle of the arcs.
- the values with the nodes are calculated to minimize the error of approximation of the zone by the mesh; ⁇ the pixel values are approximated by an affine interpolation on the triangle containing them from its values at the nodes.
- the different information is coded as follows.
- the YUN nodal values are first predicted from the values of the parent nodes (ends of the arc where the current node is inserted) .
- the difference between the value of the node and its predicted value is then quantified.
- the structure of the quaternary tree (including the indicators of division or not of the triangles), the indicators of permutation of diagonals, the nodal differential values of YUN and the quantized DCT coefficients are coded by an arithmetic coder and inserted in the train binary.
- Each group of frames encoded in mesh mode between ⁇ k +1 and N k + 1 -1 (where N k N k + 1 are respectively the previous frame and the next frame encoded in MPEG mode) is represented as a whole in the stream binary.
- the information conveyed includes, in coded form:
- a header for the entire group of frames including among other things the actual number of encoded frames.
- the global bit stream consists of a succession of frames encoded in MPEG mode, and groups of frames encoded in mesh mode, as shown in Figure 8.
- the global header of the bit stream representative of the coded sequence contains inter alia the indication of hybrid coding.
- the part of the bit stream corresponding to a group of frames coded in mesh mode begins with a header indicating inter alia the number of frames actually coded, possibly zero.
- the different data streams (bit streams) corresponding respectively to the global header of the coded sequence, to the MPEG encoded images and to the groups of i images encoded in interpolated mesh mode can be sent on different independent channels if necessary.
- the coding method allows hierarchical (or scalable) decoding of the sequence, that is to say a decoding using only part of the total bit rate.
- Decoding process Figure 9 gives a general view of the principle of decoding.
- the decoding of the header makes it possible to activate the hybrid decoding.
- the decoder recognizes for each part of the bit stream corresponding to an autonomous entity whether it is an MPEG-4 encoded frame or a group of frames encoded by mesh.
- the MPEG-4 frames are supplied to the MPEG-4 decoding module, and the groups of coded frames in mesh mode are supplied to the mesh decoding module.
- the pixels outside the occultation zones are simply interpolated from the I Nk images and and fields of motion T b k and T f k + 1 .
- the coarsest texture mesh top of the hierarchy is found for each occultation zone according to a process identical to that of the coder.
- the information associated with the corresponding hierarchical mesh (triangle division indicator, affine interpolation or DCT coding decisions, differential nodal YUV value and quantized DCT coefficients) is then decoded and the YUy values of the pixels of these reconstructed areas.
