  • video applications are becoming increasingly mobile as a result of higher computation power in handsets, advances in battery technology, and high-speed wireless connectivity.
  • Video compression i.e., video coding
  • video compression techniques that apply prediction, transformation, quantization, and entropy coding to sequential blocks of pixels, i.e., macroblocks, in a video sequence to compress, i.e., encode, the video sequence.
  • a macroblock is defined as a 16 ⁇ 16 rectangular block of pixels in a frame or slice of a video sequence where a frame is defined to be a complete image captured during a known time interval.
  • a quantization parameter may be used to modulate the step size of the quantization for each macroblock.
  • quantization of a transform coefficient involves dividing the coefficient by a quantization step size.
  • the quantization step size which may also be referred to as the quantization scale, is defined by the standard based on the QP value, which may be an integer within some range 0 . . . 51.
  • a step size for a QP value may be determined, for example, using a table lookup and/or by computational derivation.
  • the quality and bit rate of the compressed bit stream is largely determined by the QP value selected for quantizing each macroblock. That is, the quantization step size (Qs) used to quantize a macroblock regulates how much spatial detail is retained in a compressed macroblock. The smaller the Qs, the more retention of detail and the better the quality but at the cost of a higher bit rate. As the Qs increases, less detail is retained and the bit rate decreases but at the cost of increased distortion and loss of quality.

  • coding operations of prediction, transformation, quantization, and entropy coding are performed based on fixed size 16 ⁇ 16 blocks referred to as macroblocks. Further, a quantization parameter is generated for each macroblock with no provision for doing so for larger or smaller blocks. For larger frame sizes, e.g., frame sizes used for high definition video, using a larger block size for the block-based coding operations may provide better coding efficiency and/or reduce data transmission overhead. For example, a video sequence with a 1280 ⁇ 720 frame size and a frame rate of 60 frames per second is 36 times larger and 4 times faster than a video sequence with a 176 ⁇ 144 frame size and a frame rate of 15 frames per second.

  • an increased block size may adversely affect rate control. That is, many rate control techniques manage QP on a block-by-block basis according to the available space in a hypothetical transmission buffer. Increasing the block size reduces the granularity at which rate control can adjust the value of QP, thus possibly making rate control more difficult and/or adversely affecting quality. Further, reducing the granularity at which QP can change by increasing the block size impacts the visual quality performance of perceptual rate control techniques that adapt the QP based on the activity in a block.
  • Embodiments described herein provide for block-based video coding with a large block size, e.g., larger than 16 ⁇ 16, in which multiple quantization parameters for a single block may be generated.

  • LCU largest coding units

  • the rate control component 344 may determine the CU partitioning and corresponding QPs at least in part based on the spatial characteristics of the LCU. As is well known, if a region of a picture is smooth, quantization errors can be more visible to the human eye whereas if a region is busy (e.g., high textured), any quantization error will likely not be visible.
  • the rate control component 344 may determine the activity in an LCU and then partition the LCU into CU sizes based on the locations/levels of the activity.
  • An activity measure for a region of an image may be determined, for example, based on edge information, texture information, etc. The goal would be to assign lower QP values to flat regions (regions with little to no activity) to reduce quantization error and to assign higher QP values to busy regions (regions with high activity) as the quantization error will be hidden.
  • LCUs there will be transition regions in which LCUs will have both sky and trees.
  • Such LCU may be partitioned into CUs sized based on activity (within the limits of the quadtree coding structure). For example, an LCU may be divided into four CUs A, B, C, and D, and the activity level in areas of each CU may then analyzed. If a CU, say CU A, has regions of widely varying activity levels, then CU A may be further divided into four CUs, A 1 , A 2 , A 3 , and A 4 in an attempt to reduce the variance in activity level over the area where a QP will be applied. These four CUs may each also be further divided into four CUs based on activity. Once the CU partitioning is complete, QP values may then be computed for each CU.
  • the coding control component 340 provides information regarding the initial LCU CU structure and the QPs determined by the rate control component 344 to the various components of the LCU processing component 342 as needed. For example, the coding control component may provide the LCU and SCU size to the entropy encoder component 340 for inclusion in the compressed video stream at the appropriate point. In another example, the coding control component 340 may generate a quantization parameter array for use by the quantize component 306 and store the quantization parameter array in the memory 346 . The size of the quantization parameter array may be determined based on the maximum possible number of CUs in an LCU. For example, assume the size of the SCU is 8 ⁇ 8 and the size of the LCU is 64 ⁇ 64.
