Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to the field of image processing, and more specifically to the encoding and decoding of digital images and digital image sequences.
- the encoding / decoding of digital images applies in particular to images from at least one video sequence comprising:
- the present invention applies similarly to the coding / decoding of 2D or 3D type images.
- the invention may especially, but not exclusively, apply to video coding implemented in current AVC and HEVC video encoders and their extensions (MVC, 3D-AVC, MV-HEVC, 3D-HEVC, etc.), and to corresponding decoding.
- MVC Motion Picture Codon Coding
- 3D-AVC 3D-AVC
- MV-HEVC 3D-HEVC
- 3D-HEVC 3D-HEVC
- residue block also called residue of prediction, corresponding to the original block minus a prediction.
- the residue blocks are transformed using a transform mathematical operation and then quantized using a mathematical quantization operation, for example of the scalar type.
- a mathematical quantization operation for example of the scalar type.
- the mathematical operation of transform will be called later 'transformed' and the mathematical operation of quantification will be called later 'quantification'.
- a one-dimensional list of coefficients is obtained after the quantization.
- the coefficients of this list are then encoded in bits by an entropy coding whose purpose is to code the coefficients without loss.
- bits obtained after entropy coding are written in a signal or data stream which is intended to be transmitted to the decoder.
- such a signal comprises:
- the decoding is done image by image, and for each image, block by block. For each block, the corresponding elements of the stream are read. The inverse quantization, the reverse course operation, and the inverse transform of the block coefficients are performed to produce the decoded prediction residue. Then, the prediction of the block is calculated and the block is reconstructed by adding the prediction to the decoded prediction residue.
- the conventional coding / decoding technique that has just been described certainly allows improvements in coding performance. Depending on the video context, it allows:
- DCT discrete Cosine Transform
- DST discrete sinus transforms
- the aforementioned DCT or DST transforms are of the separable type.
- a separable transform can be applied in two different cases.
- a first transform A1 to a residue block x of K pixels which are organized in the form of an MxN matrix, where Al is a data matrix of size MxM and M, N are natural numbers greater than or equal to 1.
- a first transformed block Al.x At the end of the application of this first transform is obtained a first transformed block Al.x.
- a transposition operation t is then applied to the transformed block Al.x.
- a transposed block (Al.x) f is obtained.
- the transformed block X obtained according to this second case is similar to the transformed block X obtained according to the first case, to a close transposition.
- the corresponding inverse transform makes it possible to obtain the residue block x using the following calculation:
- AI "1 and Ac " 1 represent the respective inverse transforms of the Al and Ac transforms. They make it possible to obtain the values of the residue block x from the values of the transformed block X.
- the matrices AI "1 and Ac " 1 are commonly called inverse matrices of Al and Ac respectively. In the case where the matrices are chosen orthogonal they correspond to the matrices transposed of Al and Ac respectively.
- non-separable type transforms such as, for example, the Karhunen-Loeve transform (KLT) which is considered to provide an optimal decorrelation of the data of a block considered.
- KLT Karhunen-Loeve transform
- Non-separable transforms have the advantage of being able to exploit correlations between any pair (or more) of data within a given block, unlike separable type transforms that can only exploit the correlations between data sharing either the same row or the same column of a block considered across Al and Ac transforms that act independently. Such a difference makes the non-separable type transforms more efficient than the separable transforms, in particular from the point of view of energy compression and coding performance.
- non-separable transforms are very complex, which makes them difficult to implement in current video encoders. This is the reason why the DCT or DST transforms are currently preferred, especially since they may in certain cases be a good approximation of the KLT transform.
- a non-separable type transform is mathematically written to the encoding as the multiplication of the residue block x, put in the form of a vector of dimension 1 xK, by a matrix A of size KxK.
- the transformed block X obtained after the application of this transform is then written as follows:
- the inverse transform consists in multiplying the transformed block X by the inverse matrix A "1 of A which can be the transpose of A, when A is orthogonal. This inverse transform makes it possible to obtain the following residue block x:

- a current image ICj is partitioned into a plurality of blocks Bi, B 2 , B ,, ..., B F (1 ⁇ i ⁇ F), for example of size 4x4 pixels.
- Such a partitioning step is implemented by a partitioning device MP_C shown in FIG. 2, which device is controlled by the processor PROC_C.
- block means coding unit (coding unit). This latter terminology is used in the HEVC standard "ISO / I EC / 23008-2 Recommendation ITU-T H.265 High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC)”.

- Such a coding unit could, in a future standard, also group together sets of pixels having other geometric shapes.
- Said blocks B ; B 2 , B ,, ..., B F are intended to be coded according to a predetermined order of travel, which is for example of the lexicographic type. This means that the blocks are coded one after the other, from left to right, then from top to bottom. Other types of course are of course possible. Thus, it is possible to cut the image ICj into several subimages called slices and to independently apply a division of this type on each sub-image. It is also possible to code not a succession of lines, as explained above, but a succession of columns. It is also possible to browse the rows or columns in one direction or the other.
- Each block can also be divided into sub-blocks which are themselves subdividable.

- the two weighting data used in the first weighted sum are equal in absolute value to the two weighting data used in the second weighted sum.

- the calculation of the first and second weighted sums amounts to applying the aforementioned first rotation matrix G 0 to the current vector Bv, as below, which amounts to applying a rotation affecting the indices mi and m 2 of this vector:
- Such a calculation thus makes it possible to adapt the data of the current block B in the spatial domain before the following step C4 of application of a transform of separable type, as represented in FIG.
- the use of such a rotation matrix G 0 does not make the calculations too complex since they are actually implemented on only two pixels of the current block B ,, as shown in FIGS. 4A to 4C and induce two Linear combinations as expressed on the previous calculation.
