Definitions
- This invention relates to image encoding and is concerned in the most important example with video encoding in digital television services.
- the international standard ISO/IEC13818 (generic coding of moving pictures and associated audio information), known commonly as MPEG2, has been widely adopted as the method of encoding media and binding them together in a multiplex for transmission as digital services.
- media are compressed by removing temporally and spatially redundant information.
- Psycho-visual and psycho-acoustic models are also employed to reduce the information content of the compressed signal.
- the amount of information required to encode a video sequence according to the specification ISO/IEC13818 is highly dependent on the source material. It is generally the case that images with fast motion or high levels of detail require more bits of information to encode them to a comparable quality.
- both the encoder and decoder contain a buffer into which the compressed image data is fed and subsequently removed and sent on to be included in a multiplex or decoded.
- a feedback process governs the degree of compression applied to the pictures of the sequence to ensure that neither encoder nor decoder buffer overflows through holding too much data or underflows.
- the encoder's buffer will underflow if the buffer manager attempts to draw more elementary data from it than is currently held, the decoder buffer underflows if a picture's due decoding time passes before all the information needed to decode it has arrived in the buffer.
- the present invention consists in one aspect in a method for compression coding of an image signal, the visual quality of a displayed image generated through decoding of the compression coded signal being in general terms inversely related to the degree of compression, wherein a determination is made of the ' maximum practical visual quality ascertainable in the displayed image and the degree of compression controlled such that the degree of compression is not reduced beyond a level which would produce a visual quality in excess of said maximum practical visual quality.
- the present invention consists in a method for compression coding of an image signal to produce a bit rate reduced signal which can pass through a bandwidth limited channel to a downstream compression decoder generating a decoded image signal for display, compression encoding parameters being variable with variations in the image signal, characterised in that a determination is made of a point of maximum practical quality in the decoded image signal and the compression encoding parameters being controlled in response to said determination.
- a point of maximum practical quality for a compressed image in order to prevent it from consuming more bandwidth then necessary during transmission.
- This invention exploits the fact that within a typical broadcast environment video encoders may frequently, subject to the encoded material, encode an image with a quality in excess of that needed to produce an acceptable image to the viewer. This comes about due to limitations on the part of the receiving equipment, the receiver's connection to the display and the viewing environment. This invention therefore prevents wasted bandwidth and in one example recoups it to carry other information within the multiplex.
- Figure 1 is a graph illustrating a feature of the present invention.
- Figure 2 is a block diagram illustrating an example of the use of the present invention.
- the number of data bits generated as a result of encoding each picture of a video sequence according to the MPEG-2 video coding scheme is highly variable. Many factors contribute to this variation but it is generally true that sequences containing fine detail, fast motion and frequent shot changes will produce far more bits per picture than would the compression of less demanding material.
- a video encoder contains a buffer into which the data resulting from the compression of each picture is placed and is subsequently read at the rate (which may be constant) apportioned by a downstream multiplexer.
- a feedback process within the encoder aims to prevent this buffer from completely filling or emptying by varying the severity of compression applied in the picture coding process.
- a high degree of compression causes the encoder to generate fewer bits per picture.
- the degree of compression is increased by making the quantisation used in the video encoding process more coarse (i.e. increasing the value of the "quantiser_scale_code" parameter) and results in reduced coded picture quality.
- an encoder When coding less demanding picture material, an encoder will generally need to reduce the amount of compression applied in the encoding process to ensure that sufficient bits per picture are generated to prevent the buffer from emptying completely. With very simple picture material, even reducing the degree of compression to the minimum possible may not generate a sufficient number of bits per picture. In this case, the encoder is forced to insert stuffing bits into the coded video data which convey no information and serve only to prevent the buffer from emptying.
- a video encoder operating at or near minimum compression will produce pictures of a high quality to the original material.
- the quality of the decoded image may frequently be higher than that needed to produce an acceptable result at the receiver and display device.
- the image quality may even be beyond what the receiving equipment may be capable of displaying or the viewer perceiving.
- the example will be taken of a transmission system of one or more encoders creating a multiplex.
- any of the encoders finds it is able to produce an image above the level of highest quality it will in accordance with the present invention constrain itself to producing an image at the "point of maximum practical quality". This can be achieved by increasing (or failing to reduce) the degree of compression and reducing the elementary stream bit rate out of the encoder.
- a coarser quantisation process will be employed than (in the absence of the present invention) would otherwise have been chosen, preferably through increasing the value of the "quantiser_scale_code" parameter. By doing so it produces no more information for transmission than is practical, leaving that bandwidth available for other uses.
- FIG 2 there is shown in block diagram form an example of a transmission system in which the present invention is useful, the outputs of a number of separate programme encoders (1), (2) & (3) are combined in network remultiplexer (4) to create the multi-programme transport stream (5) which is the network output multiplex.
- Each programme encoder contains a video encoder (6) which encodes input video according to a video coding standard (e.g. MPEG-2).
- the multiplexer (7) requests data from the video encoder in order to fill the payloads of transport packets. Requests for video data and delivery of returned data takes place via proprietary interface (8).
- the number of transport packets filled with video data per unit time is set by the network video bit-rate controller (9) communicating with the video encoder and multiplexer via external bit-rate control interface (10).
- the network video bit-rate controller may assign fixed bit-rates to each video encoder or it may vary the assignments dynamically in order to create a statistical multiplex.
- the video encoder is configured in accordance with the present invention such that it may not ⁇ educe the degree of compression applied below that associated with the point of maximum practical quality. This means that for some combinations of (simple) picture material and output bit-rates, the encoder will be unable to reduce the degree of compression to the level required to prevent the buffer from emptying completely.
- the video encoder When the buffer occupancy reduces to a pre-determined minimum value, the video encoder ignores further requests for data from the multiplexer. In the absence of any returned video data, the multiplexer outputs a null packet in place of the intended transport packet which would otherwise have contained the returned video data. Because the video encoder is no longer sending data to the multiplexer, yet data resulting from the coding of new video source material is still entering the buffer, the buffer occupancy will increase. When the buffer occupancy has risen above the pre-determined minimum value, the encoder will respond normally to requests for data from the multiplexer.
- Video encoders are prevented from encoding to a quality in excess of the point of maximum practical quality and the multiplex capacity that would otherwise be wasted carrying the excessively high quality video is translated into a maximum number of null packets available for downstream opportunistic data insertion.
- an encoder operating in accordance with the present invention will provide a constant bit rate.
- the encoder is adapted to increase the quantiser scale code and to maintain a constant bit rate by the use of stuffing bits.
- a downstream device for opportunistic data insertion is then adapted to replace the stuffing bits with data.
