Definitions
- the field of the invention is that of encoding and decoding of images, and in particular of a video stream consisting of a series of successive images. More specifically, the invention applies to the compression of images or image sequences using block transforms.
- the invention can notably apply to video coding implemented in current (MPEG, H.264, etc.) or future (ITU-T / VCEG (H.265) or ISO / MPEG (HVC) video encoders) .
- each image can be sliced (in English "slice"), themselves cut into macroblocks, which are then subdivided into blocks.
- a block consists of a set of pixels.
- a macroblock is a square block of size equal to 16x16 pixels, which can be split into blocks of 8x8, 16x8 or 8x16 size, the 8x8 blocks can then be cut into sub-blocks of size 4x4, 8x4 or 4x8.
- the macroblocks or the blocks can be coded by intra-image prediction or inter-image prediction.
- a macroblock or block may be encoded by: a temporal prediction, that is, with reference to a reference block or macroblock belonging to one or more other images; and / or - a spatial prediction, depending on the blocks or macroblocks of the current image.
- the prediction of a current block can only be made from blocks that have been previously coded, using a directional extrapolation technique of the coded texture values. decoded on the neighboring blocks. These blocks are said to belong to the "causal neighborhood" of the current block, comprising blocks located before the current block in a predetermined direction of travel of the blocks in the image.
- nine intra prediction modes are used according to the ITU-T H.264 standard. These prediction modes comprise eight modes corresponding to a given orientation for copying the pixels from the previously coded-decoded neighboring blocks (vertical, horizontal, diagonal down left, diagonal down right, vertical right, vertical left, horizontal amount, horizontal descending), and a mode corresponding to the average of the pixels adjacent to the block from the neighboring blocks.
- a residual block also called prediction residue
- the coefficients of this block are quantized, after a possible transformation (for example the DCT transform - in English "Discrtica cosine transform", in French “transformed in discrete cosine"), then coded by an entropic coder.
- the prediction mode chosen is that which makes it possible to obtain the best rate-distortion compromise.
- a prediction of the texture values of the current block is established from the coded-decoded texture values of the neighboring blocks, and then a prediction residue is added to this prediction.
- the ITU-T H.264 standard uses motion-displacement to predict a block or macroblock from its time neighborhood. The motion vector is then encoded and transmitted.
- Alternative methods of intra prediction have recently been proposed, based in particular on the correlations between neighboring pixels.
- This technique makes it possible to synthesize a pixel p (or a group of pixels) in a target area C of the image, taking into account a source area S of the same image. It is based on correlations between neighboring pixels.
- the value of each pixel p of the target area C is determined by comparing (11) the pixels N (p) belonging to the causal neighborhood of the pixel p, defining a "template” or "mask” of the pixel p, with all the neighbors of the source area S.
- the mask N (p) is made up of previously coded / decoded pixels, which avoids the propagation of errors. If we find a region of the source zone S similar to the mask defined by N (p), then we assign (12) to the pixel p of the target zone C, the pixel (or group of pixels) of the source zone S presenting the most similar neighborhood.
- the pixels are synthesized in a fixed and predetermined order, generally from top to bottom and from left to right (in English "raster scan order").
- the "template matching” technique has also been extended to the block coding of an H.264 encoder by Wang et al., As described in the document “Priority-based template matching intra prediction. It is thus possible to code / decode a macroblock using blocks (composed of 4x4 pixels according to the H.264 standard) reconstructed by the "template matching" technique.
- the blocks are conventionally processed in a left-to-right and top-to-bottom ("raster scan") order of the blocks in the macroblock. Therefore, the macroblock is encoded / decoded (or rebuilt) block by block. Processing the blocks one after the other makes it possible to use the pixels of a previously coded / decoded block as "source zone" for a current block, according to the order of travel.
- the invention proposes a new solution which does not have all of these disadvantages of the prior art, in the form of a method of encoding at least one image, divided into zones of standard size, called macroblocks, a macroblock comprising a set of blocks of pixels.
- such a method implements, for at least one current macroblock of a current image: at least two iterations of the following steps:
- a coding priority level to at least one pixel of the current macroblock, adjacent to at least one previously predicted pixel, according to a predetermined priority determination criterion; - selection of a pixel with the highest priority level, says priority pixel;
- the coding step is implemented as soon as the predicted region complies with a predetermined coding criterion.
- the invention thus proposes to improve the existing "template matching" techniques by working directly on a macroblock, and by adapting the order of the macroblock pixels for the prediction of the macroblock.
- the efficiency of a template matching technique applied to an entire macroblock is limited because the further one moves towards the end of the macroblock, the more predicted pixels used for the prediction are away from the pixels to predict. Indeed, the pixels predicted at the beginning of the macroblock have not yet been coded / decoded (the prediction error has not yet been coded), the predicted pixels do not provide a sufficiently good prediction, and may propagate errors. errors towards the end of the macroblock and to increase by the same amount the cost of coding the residue. It is thus possible to signal once, for the entire macroblock, that a template matching technique is used, without having to report it for each block.
- the pixels are synthesized in a fixed and predetermined order
- the prediction residue corresponding to the difference between the predicted pixels of the predicted region and the original pixels belonging to the current image, can be practically nil. This means that the prediction is sufficient (for example for a targeted application: low speed, low quality, etc.). In this case, the obtained prediction residue is small and can be canceled during the quantization of the residue.
- the coding criterion belongs to the group comprising: a predicted number of pixels greater than a predetermined threshold; a predetermined configuration of the predicted pixels.
- Such a configuration is in agreement with the transforms used by the encoder, and corresponds to a 4x4 block in the case of an H.264-AVC encoder.
- Such a configuration can also be processed by a transform implemented in the encoder / decoder, and corresponds to a 2x8, or 8x2, or 16x1, or 1x16 block, or any region of 16 pixels in the case of a transform.
- SA-DCT type in English "Shape Adaptive DCT", in French “Adaptive form discrete cosine transform”).
- Pixels thus encoded / decoded (or reconstructed) can then be used for the prediction of following regions of the macroblock It is considered that these coded / decoded pixels now belong to a "source" zone as defined in relation with the prior art
- the predicted region comprises sixteen predicted pixels.
- sixteen pixels are predicted (forming a region of 4x4 pixels, 2x8 pixels, 8x2 pixels, 16x1 pixels or 1x16 pixels), the residue associated with this region, and we code / decode this region
- the priority determination criterion takes account of at least one parameter belonging to the group comprising.
- a statistical parameter representative of an activity of the vicinity of said pixel a number of candidates similar to said mask, defined for example by the sum of the absolute differences, as described in relation with the prior art
- the direction of travel of the pixels inside a macroblock takes into account parameters making it possible to optimize the coding by improving the efficiency of the prediction and therefore the quality of the reconstruction of the pixels.
- one of the parameters taken into account to assign a priority to a pixel corresponds to the number of available pixels already coded-decoded (or reconstructed) that can be used for coding this pixel.
- This parameter can have for example a value corresponding directly to the number of pixels available
- Another parameter takes into account the presence of an incident contour in a pixel, that is to say a contour that is also present in an already coded-decoded adjacent pixel.
- the technique according to one embodiment of the invention adapts the order of travel according to the direction of the contour, and the order of travel. obtained diagonal improves the quality of the prediction and thus the speed and quality of the decoding.
- This parameter indicating the presence of an incident contour in a pixel also noted as a contour parameter, may have for example a value of 1.
- Yet another parameter takes into account the number of previously predicted or coded pixels present in the mask defined near the pixel. This gives preference to the prediction of a target set for which the corresponding mask comprises the largest number of pixels already predicted. Then, the values of the parameters described above can be added, or multiplied, to obtain a priority level assigned to each pixel adjacent to a previously predicted pixel.
- At least one of the iterations is a refinement iteration, in which the assignment step assigns a coding priority level to at least one pixel of the current macroblock adjacent to at least one previously coded pixel.
- coded / decoded pixels are considered, and not only predicted. Indeed, coded / decoded pixels can be given greater confidence than only predicted pixels. It is recalled to this effect that if the predicted pixels do not provide a sufficiently good prediction, they may propagate errors towards the end of the macroblock and increase the coding cost of the residue. Pixels already coded / decoded are therefore used to refine the prediction.
- the invention also relates to a computer program comprising instructions for implementing the encoding method described above when the program is executed by a processor.
- the coding method according to the invention can be implemented in various ways, in particular in hard-wired form or in software form.
- the invention in another embodiment, relates to a device for encoding at least one image, divided into standard size areas, called macroblocks, a macroblock comprising a set of blocks of pixels.
- such a device comprises the following means, activated for at least one current macroblock of a current image and for at least two iterations:
- Such a signal comprises at least one piece of information representative of the coding criterion, such as a threshold corresponding to the minimum number of pixels that must be predicted to reconstruct a predicted region.
- This signal may of course include the various characteristics relating to the coding method according to the invention.
- the invention also relates to a method for decoding a signal representative of at least one image, divided into zones of standard size, called macroblocks, a macroblock comprising a set of blocks of pixels. According to the invention, such a method implements at least two iterations of the following steps, for at least one current macroblock of a current image:
- Such a decoding method is able to decode a signal as described above.
- such a method comprises a step of receiving at least one piece of information representative of the coding criterion.
- the invention also relates to a computer program comprising instructions for implementing the decoding method described above, when the program is executed by a processor.
- the decoding method according to the invention can be implemented in various ways, in particular in hard-wired form or in software form.
- the invention in another embodiment, relates to a device for decoding a signal representative of at least one image, divided into zones of standard size, called macroblocks, a macroblock comprising a set of blocks of pixels.
- such a device comprises the following means, activated for at least one current macroblock of a current image and for at least two iterations:
- FIG. 1 commented on in relation to the prior art, presents a simplified diagram of the so-called "template matching"technique;
- FIG. 2 illustrates an example of direction of travel for the coding of the blocks of a macroblock;

- Figure 5 shows the main steps implemented in the decoding according to a particular embodiment of the invention;
- Figures 6 and 7 respectively show the structure of a coding device and a decoding device according to a particular embodiment of the invention.
- the general principle of the invention is based on the adaptive coding / decoding of a macroblock, making it possible to predict pixels, and then to code / decode predicted pixel regions, as soon as there is a sufficient number of predicted pixels for each pixel. the transformation and coding of the residue.
- the coding / decoding of the macroblock does not require the coding / decoding of the different blocks of the macroblock, one after the other, according to a predefined order of travel.
- FIG. 3 illustrates the main steps implemented on the coding side, for at least one current macroblock of a current image.
- the line dividing the previously predicted pixels from the not yet predicted pixels is called the "prediction boundary", and the "coding boundary” is a line separating the already coded / decoded pixels from the pixels not yet coded / decoded.
- the coding method implements a step of coding a prediction residue for the predicted region of the macroblock, by determining a difference between the predicted pixels. of the predicted region and original pixels belonging to the current image. It is recalled that the prediction residue can be virtually zero. In this case, the prediction residue obtained is canceled during the quantization step.
- the predicted region is coded / decoded.
- the coding boundary is shifted to encompass the new coded / decoded pixels.
- These new coded / decoded pixels are now considered as pixels belonging to the source zone of the image, which can be used for the prediction of unpredicted pixels, or the refinement of previously predicted pixels.
- FIGS. 4A to 4G illustrate the application of a particular embodiment of the coding method to the case of intra prediction in an H.264 coder for example, using macroblocks of size 16 ⁇ 16. cut into blocks of 4x4 size.
- this is just an example.
- the invention also applies to an image encoder using regions of arbitrary size and shape, in the context of intra or interimage prediction.
- the current macroblock MB is composed of sixteen blocks each comprising 4x4 pixels.
- This macroblock MB is adjacent, in the image, to three already encoded-decoded macroblocks (located above the current macroblock - MBj, to the left of the current macroblock - MBL, and above to the left and the current macroblock - MBJL). .
- adjacent is meant here a macroblock that touches the boundary of the current macroblock.
- Macroblocks MBj, MBL and MBJL- previously coded / decoded are considered to belong to a source area of the image, which can be used for the prediction of regions not yet predicted.
- FIGS. 4B to 4G each illustrate the result obtained after a prediction iteration as described with reference to FIG. 3, for the coding of the current macroblock MB.
- the previously coded / decoded macroblocks MBj, MBL and MBJL define, with the current macroblock MB, a coding boundary FR.
- This FR coding boundary (illustrated in the other figures 4C to 4G in short dotted lines) is superimposed with a prediction boundary Fp (illustrated in long dashed lines) during the first iteration.
- a coding priority level is assigned to the unpredicted pixels of the macroblock MB located at the prediction boundary Fp.
- a priority level is assigned to all the pixels of the MB macroblock adjacent to a previously predicted pixel MBJ, MBL and MBJL macroblocks previously coded / decoded.
- the pixel p located in the top left corner of macroblock MB, has the highest priority level. Indeed, this pixel is adjacent to five pixels previously coded / decoded (and therefore predicted). This pixel is called "priority pixel".
- a mask Tp is identified, such that the mask Tp and the target set P form a block (see FIG. 4A for the sake of clarity).
- a source block comprising a similar zone Tn in the mask is then searched. Tp.
- This search region comprising a set of previously coded / decoded (or reconstructed) blocks, also called source zone, is delimited by the coding boundary.
- Tn previously coded / decoded (or reconstructed) blocks
- Tp we look in the source area for a "template” Tn (or mask) closest to the mask Tp, and then we build the target set P from the source block thus identified. To do this, it is possible to copy in the target set P the pixels of the source block identified that do not belong to the similar zone Tn.
- This "template matching" technique is more precisely described in relation to the prior art. In this way, a prediction of the target set P, delivering predicted pixels, is obtained.
- a new coding priority level is assigned to the unpredicted pixels of the MB macroblock adjacent to a previously predicted pixel. These non-predicted pixels correspond to the pixels located at the prediction boundary Fp.
- the pixel p corresponding to the pixel located on the fourth line, fourth column of the macroblock MB, has the highest priority level.
- this priority pixel p is located on a contour crossing the target set defined at the first iteration.
- the shape of the target set P and the mask Tp (that is to say the number of pixels and the configuration of the pixels) does not change during the different iterations.
- the pixels present in the target set P and in the mask Tp differ from one iteration to the other.
- a source block comprising a similar zone Tn to the mask Tp is then searched in the source zone.
- This research area is the same as for the first iteration, since the FR coding boundary has not evolved.
- the number of predicted pixels is not sufficient to code / decode a region of the macroblock MB.
- the FR encoding boundary has not changed.
- the prediction boundary Fp has shifted to encompass the new predicted pixels.
- the number of predicted pixels is sufficient to code / decode (or reconstruct) a predicted region of the macroblock MB, by coding a prediction residue associated with this region.
- a sufficient number of pixels has been predicted for these predicted pixels to be used for transformation and coding of the residue.
- the first block B 1 located at the top left of the macroblock MB
- this residue coding step can be implemented to code / decode (or reconstruct) a predicted region of different size, such as a region consisting of 2x2 predicted pixels, 4x4 predicted pixels, 8x8 predicted pixels, 2x8 predicted pixels, 8x2 predicted pixels, 16x1 predicted pixels, 1x16 predicted pixels, etc.
- One could therefore reconstruct a block of data as soon as 16 pixels have been predicted for example 16 pixels of the same line, or of the same column, ).
- this step of coding the residue is implemented as soon as the predicted region respects a predetermined coding criterion, such as a predicted number of pixels greater than a predetermined threshold, or a specific configuration of the predicted pixels.
- a predetermined coding criterion such as a predicted number of pixels greater than a predetermined threshold, or a specific configuration of the predicted pixels.
- the first block B1 of the macroblock MB is reconstructed (that is to say encoded and decoded with its residue). Therefore, the FR encoding boundary is shifted to encompass this new encoded / decoded B block, which is now part of the source area of the image, and can serve as a reliable source for predicting the remaining regions to be restored from the macroblock. MB. It is recalled that it is however not possible to use, for the prediction, predicted but not reconstructed pixels.
- the invention proposes to code / decode
- the algorithm can progress freely in the macroblock by restoring / predicting image regions "on horseback" over several blocks; the reconstruction of the blocks (4x4 size according to the H.264 standard) is not imposed according to a predetermined order.
- the proposed solution can be integrated without difficulty in a video coder based macroblock type H.264, without substantially changing its operation. For that, it is enough for example to add a new mode of spatial prediction of the macroblocks, or to replace several existing modes little used in the context of the present invention. In particular, the rate-distortion optimization process remains unchanged.
- the signal representative of the encoded image (s) according to the coding method described above can be transmitted to a decoder and / or stored on a recording medium.
- This signal can carry particular information.
- this signal may carry at least one piece of information representative of the coding criterion, such as a threshold corresponding to the minimum number of pixels that must be predicted to reconstruct a predicted region.
- This signal can also transmit information representative of the priority determination criterion. Indeed, the priority of the pixels to be predicted, located at the level of the prediction boundary, can be calculated at the encoder and transmitted to the decoder, or alternatively recalculated to the decoder. This signal can also transport the prediction residue (s) obtained by comparing the current image and the predicted image.
- Such a decoder implements the following steps, for at least one current image:
- At least one piece of information representative of this coding criterion may be conveyed by the signal.
- the decoding method comprises an additional step of receiving the information representative of this coding criterion.
- the decoding method may implement an additional step of receiving information representative of the priority determination criterion.
