The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail hereinafter with reference to the attached drawings.
Fig. 1 is a block diagram showing a three-dimensional digital multimedia broadcasting (3D DMB) transmitting system in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
The 3D digital multimedia broadcasting transmitting system of the present invention is a system for receiving an Audio/video (AV) data, i.e., a video signal and an audio signal, and 3D additional AV data, i.e., a 3D additional video signal and a 3D additional audio signal, encoding the AV data and the 3D additional AV data based on MPEG-4, and outputting multiplexed MPEG-2 Transport Stream (TS) . As shown in Fig, 1, the 3D digital multimedia broadcasting transmitting system includes a video encoding module 110, a 3D additional video encoding module 130, an audio encoding module 120, a 3D additional audio encoding module 140, a system encoding module 150 and an M4 over M2 module 160.
Herein, the video encoding module 110 is a module for encoding one of a left image and a right image of a binocular 3D moving picture as an MPEG-4 part 10 Advanced Video Coding (AVC) baseline profile specification. The audio encoding module 120 is a module for encoding an audio signal transmitted from an outside as an MPEG-4 Bit Sliced Arithmetic Coding (BSAC) specification.
The 3D additional audio encoding module 140 is a module for encoding the 3D additional audio signal inputted from the outside as the MPEG-4 Bit BSAC specification.
The system encoding module 150 generates, encodes MPEG-4 Initial Object Descriptor (IOD) /OD/Binary Format for Scene (BIFS) data and packetizes an object descriptor (OD) / Binary Format for scenes (BIFS) stream generated by using Elementary Stream (ES) outputted from the 4 decoding modules 110 to 140 and the data received from the outside into a sync layer (SL) packet.
The M4 over M2 module 160 receives SL packet data, packetizes the SL packet data into MPEG-2 TSs, multiplexes the packetized MPEG-2 TSs into one MPEG-2 TS and outputs the MPEG-2 TS.
Fig. 2 is a block diagram illustrating a video encoding module of Fig. 1.
As shown in Fig. 2, the video encoding module 110 includes a video pre-processor 111 and a video encoder 113. The video pre-processor 111 receives a left or right video signal with respect to a binocular 3D moving picture from an outside and transforms a size of the image into a size of Quater Video Graphic Array (QVGA) 320X240 or Common Intermediate Format (CIF) 352X288. The video encoder 113 outputs a video Elementary Stream (ES) , which is obtained by encoding a video signal, a size of which is transformed in the additional video pre-processor 111 and the MPEG-4 part 10 Advanced Video Coding (AVC) baseline profile specification and an encoding parameter, which is a bit rate. Herein, the video encoding module 110 can receive and process a general 2D moving picture video signal.
Fig. 3 is a block diagram illustrating a 3D additional video encoding module of Fig. 1. As shown in Fig. 3, the 3D additional video encoding module 130 includes an additional video pre-processor 131 and an additional video encoder 133. The additional video pre-processor 131 receives a right or left video signal with respect to a binocular 3D moving picture from an outside and transforms a size of the image into a size of 160X240/320X120 or 176X288/352X144, which is reduced as large as a half of the QVGA/CIF size in height or width. The additional video encoder 133 outputs a 3D additional video ES, which is encoding a video signal transformed in the additional video pre-processor 131 into the MPEG-4 part 10 AVC baseline profile specification and an encoding parameter, which is a bit rate.
Fig. 4 is a block diagram illustrating an audio encoding module of Fig. 1. As shown in Fig. 4, the audio encoding module 120 includes an audio pre-processor 121 and an audio encoder 123. The audio pre-processor 121 transforms resolution and a sampling frequency of an audio signal received from the outside to meet an MPEG-4 BSAC specification. The audio encoder 123 receives an audio signal transformed in the audio pre-processor 121 and a 2 channel downmix audio signal generated in the 3D additional audio encoding module 140, and also generates an audio ES, which is encoded into an MPEG-4 BSAC specification based on an encoding parameter, which is a bit rate.
Fig. 5 is a 3D additional audio encoding module of Fig. 1 in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Fig. 5, the 3D additional audio encoding module 140 includes an additional audio pre-processor 141 and an additional audio encoder 143. The additional audio pre-processor 141 generates and outputs a 2 channel downmix signal and 3 channel 3D additional audio signal by using a 3D additional audio signal received from the outside, wherein the 2 channel downmix signal is outputted to the audio encoder 123 of the MPEG-4 audio encoding module 120. The additional audio encoder 143 outputs a 3D additional audio ES by encoding the 3 channel 3D additional audio signal into an MPEG-4 BSAC specification. Herein, the 3D additional audio signal can be diverse multi-channel stereophonic signal such as a 5 channel stereophonic signal, which includes a forward left speaker signal L, a forward right speaker signal R, a forward central speaker signal C, a backward left speaker signal LS and a backward right speaker signal RS, or 5.1 channel stereophonic signal, in which Sub-Woofer signal SW is added to the 5 signals. Fig. 6 is a block diagram illustrating an additional audio pre-processor of Fig. 5.
As shown in Fig. 6, the additional audio pre¬ processing block 141 includes a pre-processor 145 and a channel-mixer 147. The pre-processor 145 receives a 3D additional audio signal, which is diverse channel stereophonic signals, from the outside, processes a signal characteristic such as a sampling frequency and a number of quantization bit, and generates 5 channel stereophonic signal in which low-pass filtering is performed. The channel-mixer 147 generates a 2 channel downmix signals LO and RO, and 3 channel additional audio signals T, Ql and Q2 by using a mixing method defined by an ITU-R BS.775-1 specification from the 5 channel stereophonic signal. Herein, the 2 channel downmix signals LO and RO are left/right audio signals used when a stereo is played, and the 3 channel additional audio signal T, Ql and Q2 are signals for reorganizing an original signal. Also, when a 3D additional audio signal inputted to the pre-processor 145 is a 5 channel stereophonic signal, the pre-processor 145 can output the inputted signal without any special process.
Fig. 7 is a block diagram illustrating a system encoding module of Fig. 1. As shown in Fig. 7, the system encoding module 150 includes an SL packetizer 151, an OD/BIFS generator 153 and Initial Object Descriptor (IOD) generator 155.
Herein, the OD/BIFS generator 153 generates and outputs an OD/BIFS ES by using an OD/BIFS text data received from the outside. A 3D AV is expressed by individually using one OD with respect to a video/3D additional video and an audio/3D additional audio.
Also, the SL packetizer 151 receives a video ES, an audio ES, a 3D additional video ES, a 3D additional audio ES and the OD/BIFS ES from the above-mentioned 4 encoding modules, and outputs them by packetizing each of them as an SL packet according to a Korean mobile multimedia broadcasting specification.
The IOD generator 155 generates and outputs an IOD ES by using the IOD text data transmitted from the outside.
Fig. 8 is a block diagram showing a data structure of an object descriptor (OD) in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
In a video, two ES_Descriptors for left or right video and a 3D additional video of a right or left video are subordinately included in one OD to express a 3D AV while maintaining comparability with an OD/BIFS structure of a conventional DMB system. Also, in an audio, two ES_Descriptors for one OD lower audio and a 3D additional audio have a subordinate relationship.
The subordinate relationship can be expressed by using Stream DependenceFlag of MPEG-4 OD, and depends0n_ES_ID.
Also, ObjectTypelndication of a 3D additional video ES is set as User private, and stream type is set as Visual to provide a service of a 3D AV while maintaining comparability with a conventional DMB system. ObjectTypelndication of a 3D additional audio ES is set as User private and stream type is set as Audio. Other video and audio ES are set according to a conventional DMB system specification.
The conventional DMB system cannot recognize ObjectTypelndication information with respect to a 3D additional AV stream through this, and also cannot receive a related 3D additional AV encoding stream. As a result, since the conventional DMB system can recognize only a general 2D video and audio and receive only related encoding stream, backward comparability, which can be received as a 2D moving picture with respect to a 3D AV, is provided to a user. Fig. 9 is a block diagram illustrating an M4 over M2 module of Fig. 1.
As shown in Fig. 9, the M4 over M2 module 160 includes a Packetized Elementary Stream (PES) Packetizer 161, a PES to TS Packetizer 162, a multiplexer 163, a switch 164, a 14496 section packetizer 165, a PSI generator 166, a Program Specific Information PSI section to TS Packetizer 167 and a 14496 section to TS Packetizer 168.
The switch 164 receives an OD/BIFS SL packet from the system encoding module 150 and outputs the OD/BIFS SL packet as the PES Packetizer 161 or the 14496 section packetizer 165 according to encoding information of an SL packet.
The video SL packet, the Audio SL packet, the 3D additional video SL packet, the 3D additional audio SL packet received from the system encoding module 150, and the OD/BIFS SL packet inputted from the switch 164 are individuallly packetized as PES and outputted to the PES to TS Packetizer 162 by the PES packetizer 161.
The OD/BIFS SL packet inputted from the switch 164 is packetized into a 14496 section and outputted to the 14496 section to TS Packetizer 168 by the 14496 section packetizer 165.
The PSI generator 166 generates PSI including Program Association Table (PMT) section (PA_section) and Program Map Table (PMT) section (PM_section) by using the IOD information received from the system encoding module 150 and outputs the PSI to the PSI section to TS Packetizer 167.
