Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to television methods and means, and more particularly to television systems that conserve and are not wasteful of bandwidth caused by transmitting redundancies from multiple sources which do not contribute to a picture presentation quality, and more specifically to coding systems for transmitting only pixel data that is not repetitive. There exists and will exist a need for high definition television in relatively narrow bandwidths.
- inter-frame redundancy Another form of redundancy in video is inter- frame. In a series of individual video frames, it is reasonable to predict that the differences between frames will be relatively small. Although taking advantage of inter-frame redundancy can generally result in about 600% additional compressibility, there is not always interframe redundancy. Depending on the actual individual video, interframe redundancy can range from very high to zero. Disclosure of Invention
- the present invention is a block coding method for television communications which is particularly suitable for high definition, yet narrow-band applications such as specialized picture transmission systems and video links.
- the block coding method provides a system that is not wasteful of bandwidth caused by transmitting redundancies from multiple sources which do not contribute to the quality of picture presentation.
- the invention utilizes a differential order video encoding (DOVE) scheme to produce true high-quality video with real-time TV encoding for delivery in about half of the bandwidth of the 4.5 MHZ vestigial sideband suppressed television system in universal use.
- DOVE differential order video encoding
- Efficient coding algorithms based on the concept of finding and eliminating multiple source redundancies, characterizing the redundancies and then creating, in real-time, an efficient set of codes for encoding only the information that is different, eliminating the need for full 4.5 MHZ bandwidth.
- the objectives of DOVE are (a) to provide intra- frame coding that is nearly uniform for a wide variety of pictures, (b) to provide interf rame coding which provides good results with relatively low data flow rate out of the encoder, taking into account the wide expected variability in interf rame redundancy, (c) to at all times provide high-quality video consistent with TV broadcast standards, and (d) to provide a video coding method that can be easily implemented in microcircuit technology.
- Figure 1 is a functional flow diagram of the essential procedural elements of the differential order video encoding (DOVE) coding method of the present invention.
- DOVE differential order video encoding
- the differential order video encoding (DOVE) system uses YUV color coordinates to take advantage of the lower frequency color components by subsampling U and V with respect to Y samples.
- DOVE differential order video encoding
- E j 0.06E R - 0.28E G - 0.32E ⁇
- U is a color coordinate
- EQ V is a color coordinate E ⁇
- V is a color coordinate
- E ⁇ dU pixel U - previous pixel
- U dV pixel V - previous pixel
- sgn(dx) the sign of dx represented by -1 if dx is minus: 1 if dx is positive; and 0
- V 64 + (((64 * r) + (-54 * g) + (-10 * b))/128)
- the first step in the DOVE coding process is best described as a non-linear differential quantizer 11. If information is considered as "the difference that makes a difference" the concept of differential quantization is easier understood.
- Individual pixels are arranged in blocks. For example, each major such block (6 X 6) is further arranged into 4 smaller (minor) blocks of, for example, (3 X 3).
- U and V values for both the major block and 4 minor blocks are obtained by taking the sum of all U's and Vs in a 3 X 3 block, divided by 9, and then sum the 4 minor block U's and V's, divided by 4.
- the division by 9 is approximated with integer arithmetic using 1/16 + 1/32 + 1/64.
- dX means either dU or dV: if abs(dX) > 0 and abs(dX) ⁇ 2 then dX ⁇ 1 * (sgn(dX)) if abs(dX) > 1 and abs(dX) ⁇ 5 then dX ⁇ 3 * (sgn(dX)) if abs(dX) > 4 and abs(dX) ⁇ 10 then dX ⁇ 7 * (sgn(dX)) if abs(dX) > 9 and abs(dX) ⁇ 17 then dX ⁇ 13 * (sgn(dX)) if abs(dX) > 16 and abs(dX) ⁇ 32 then
- test 12 for overflow and underflow out of the quantizer 11, whereby if dX + Previous X > 127 or ⁇ 0 then dX ⁇ next lower quantize value, then test again.
- the 6 X 6 UVs are differenced from the preceding (horizontal) block, and these differences are quantized.
- the 4 individual small blocks (3 X 3) are differenced from the large block. After quantization, if the difference of any one of the 4 small blocks exceeds a threshold, then that 3 X 3 block is encoded 14, together with the large block.
- Each 6 X 6 block has a single bit associated therewith to indicate whether the encoding is for a single large block or the encoding is for the large block plus one or more small blocks.
- the subsampling ratio is dynamically variable between 6:1:1 and 3:1:1, depending on the setting of the threshold compared to the actual variance in U, V.
- Quantized U and V differentials are encoded, both for the large blocks and for any small blocks whose values are different from the large blocks by an adjustable error (UVerr).
- UVerr adjustable error
- UV components are reduced from 14 bits to 0.243 and 0.148 for ratios of 58:1 and 94:1, respectively.
- CCIR specifies UV subsampling of 4:2:2 for highest quality studio work while NTSC uses 4:1:1.
- DOVE is more accurate than NTSC, but not quite as accurate as the highest quality studio video .
- Typical coding for UV components would be: dV, dU, 0 for 6 X 6 no exception
- Block Characterization bit 0 no 3 X 3 exception
- 3 X 3 block, 1 dU, dV for excep ⁇ tion block follows. dU, dV for 3 X 3 exception block is referenced to
- the characterization bit for each 6 X 6 block in a row of blocks can be compressed by putting these bits in a stream at the front of each row of blocks.
- the compression takes place by run-length coding 15 the stream of such bits, because there is a high probability of the characterization bit being a "0" (a lot of redundant "0s" ) .
- UVbuf dimension
- O's The resultant lengths of runs (l's or O's) is saved in memory, LGTHbuf. rnlgth: ' subroutine to runlength code
- the individual run lengths are coded as follows:
- DOVE uses a 3 X 3 block and the Y components are encoded using 6 different techniques.
- YO is the sum of all Ys in 3 X 3 block, divided by 9. For simplicity of implementation, the division by 9 is approximated with integer arithmetic using 1/16 + 1/32 + 1/64.
- YO differentials, using YO of previous block (first YO in each row is absolute YO) are then quantized 16, as indicated at 16 (Fig. 1).
- Small Blocks are characterized as blocks where the quantized differential Y for all 9 pixels is within +/-1 with respect to quantized YO .
- Medium Small Blocks have quantized differentials within the range of +/-5.
- Medium Large Blocks have all 9 quantized differentials with the range of +/-26, while Large Blocks have all 9 quantized differentials in the full range.
- the concept of quantizing differences may be understood by considering the nature of video information.
- the human eye is extremely non-linear, and is sensitive to and can detect small absolute differences in adjacent elements of brightness very much more than it can detect absolute large differences.
- the imagers utilized in TV cameras are essentially linear devices. To make them more like the human eye, TV cameras employ a non-linear correction called "Gamma Correction", which gives much more accuracy and sensitivity to low levels than to high levels of brightness.
- the maximum quantized differential of 76 was chosen based on the theoretical maximum slewing rate of a signal which has been bandwidth limited to 4.5 MHZ and sampled at at least 2 X 4.5 MHZ. If the rate of change of input signal were not limited to 4.5 MHZ, the effect of quantizing to a maximum of 76 would be to limit the rise time as if the signal were limited to an effective bandwidth of 1/2 sample rate.
- the step 20, 21 in the coding process provides an important additional level of compression of Y information. It comprises first partitioning the 3 X 3 block into 2 values of luminosity, Yl and Y2, Yl being the sum of all pixels in the block whose value is greater than YO, divided by the quantity of such pixels, and Y2 being the sum of all pixels in the block whose value is equal to or less than YO, divided by the quantity of such pixels.
- Discrepencies e.g., 9 pixels > YO are possible because of minor changes due to quantization.
- cpt is the average of all 9 quantized pixels.
- the actual possible counts used as divisors are in the range of 1 to 8.
- the code for count becomes 0 to 7 , and thus is only 3 bits.
- accuracy of Yl and Y2 is not of prime importance, this can be simplified and the Y value used to obtain the sums for Yl , Y2 of each pixel divided by 2, truncated.
- the required division can be done in a read-only- memory look-up table.
- Yl the average Y for all pixels exceeding YO
- This step is sometimes called luminance partitioning.
- the next step in this process is to generate a 9 bit map in which a 1 means the pixel will be represented by Yl , and 0 means the pixel will be represented by Y2.
- the block is then decoded and a pixel-by-pixel comparison is made with the values of the original in that particular block. If the error created by mapping is within acceptable limits, that block is encoded as a mapped block. Otherwise, it is a small, medium small, medium large or large block, encoded as outlined above.
- error tolerance There are two aspects of error tolerance. One is the error in Y caused by mapping, and the other is allowing N pixels to exceed the error.
- Each of three types of blocks (medium small, medium large, and large) are submitted to the mapping process and tested for error 21. Since small blocks encode in only 1 bit per pixel, the mapping process does not provide additional compression. Therefore small blocks are not submitted to the mapping process.
- the quantizing and encoding YO differentials 23 is by using YO of a previous block where first YO in each row is absolute YO, wherein small blocks are characterized as blocks where the quantized differential Y for all 9 pixels is within +/- 1 with respect to quantized YO and medium small blocks have quantized differentials within the range of +/-5 and medium large blocks have all 9 quantized differentials with the range of +/-26, while large blocks have all 9 quantized differentials in the full range. Encoding 25 quantized differentials, if not already mapped, is done, and the buffering and organizing 26 data for output is done.
