Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of video CODECs.
  • Video data is generally processed and transferred in the form of bit streams.
  • Typical video compression encoders and decoders (“CODECs”) gain much of their compression efficiency by forming a reference picture prediction of a picture to be encoded, and encoding the difference between the current picture and the prediction. The more closely that the prediction is correlated with the current picture, the fewer bits that are needed to compress that picture, thereby increasing the efficiency of the process. Thus, it is desirable for the best possible reference picture prediction to be formed.
  • the current picture to be coded or decoded is more strongly correlated with the reference picture scaled by a weighting factor than with the reference picture itself.
  • Video codecs without weighting factors applied to reference pictures encode such fading sequences very inefficiently. Unfortunately, the transmission of weighting factors requires that some additional bits be sent in the bitstream.
  • MPEG Moving Picture Experts Group
  • MPEG-2 MPEG-2
  • MPEG-4 MPEG-4
  • a motion compensated version of a previous reference picture is used as a prediction for the current picture, and only the difference between the current picture and the prediction is coded.
  • P single picture prediction
  • the reference picture is not scaled when the motion compensated prediction is formed.
  • bi-directional picture predictions (“B" pictures)
  • intermediate predictions are formed from two different pictures, and then the two intermediate predictions are averaged together, using equal weighting factors of (Vz, Vz) for each, to form a single averaged prediction.
  • Vz, Vz the two reference pictures are always one each from the forward direction and the backward direction for B pictures.
  • a video decoder for decoding video signal data for an image block with first and second reference picture indices to predict the image block.
  • the decoder comprises a reference picture weighting factor unit responsive to the relative positioning between the image block and the first and second reference pictures.
  • the reference picture weighting factor unit's output utilized for determining implicit weighting factors corresponding to each of the first and second reference picture indices, respectively.
  • the present invention utilizes implicit weighting of reference pictures in video coders and decoders in accordance with the following exemplary figures, in which:
  • FIG. 1 shows a block diagram for a video decoder, in accordance with the principles of the present invention
  • Figure 2 shows a block diagram for a video decoder with implicit reference picture weighting, in accordance with the principles of the present invention
  • Figure 3 shows a flowchart for a decoding process, in accordance with the principles of the present invention
  • FIG. 4 shows a block diagram for a video encoder, in accordance with the principles of the present invention
  • Figure 5 shows a block diagram for a video encoder with implicit reference picture weighting, in accordance with the principles of the present invention.
  • FIG. 6 shows a flowchart for an encoding process, in accordance with the principles of the present invention.
  • the present invention encompasses an apparatus and method for implicit weighting of reference pictures in video CODECs.
  • video sequences with fading for example, the current picture or image block to be coded is more strongly correlated to a reference picture scaled by a weighting factor than to the reference picture itself.
  • Video CODECs without weighting factors applied to reference pictures encode fading sequences very inefficiently.
  • weighting factors are used in encoding, a video encoder needs to determine both weighting factors and motion vectors.
  • each P picture can use multiple reference pictures to form a picture's prediction, but each individual motion block or 8x8 region of a macroblock uses only a single reference picture for prediction.
  • a reference picture index is transmitted for each motion block or 8x8 region, indicating which reference picture is used.
  • a limited set of possible reference pictures is stored at both the encoder and decoder, and the number of allowable reference pictures is transmitted.
  • bi-predictive pictures also called "B" pictures
  • two predictors are formed for each motion block or 8x8 region, each of which can be from a separate reference picture, and the two predictors are averaged together to form a single averaged predictor.
  • the reference pictures can both be from the forward direction, both be from the backward direction, or one each from the forward and backward directions.
  • Two lists are maintained of the available reference pictures that may used for prediction.
  • the two reference pictures may be referred to as the list 0 and list 1 predictors, or the refO and ref 1 reference pictures.
  • An index for each reference picture is coded and transmitted, ref_idx_IO and ref_idx_H , for the list 0 and list 1 reference pictures, respectively.
  • Joint Video Team Joint Video Team
  • Pred P1 * Predl + P0 * PredO + D (Eqn. 1) where P1 and PO are weighting factors, PredO and Predl are the reference picture predictions for list 0 and list 1 respectively, and D is an offset.
  • weighting factors are determined by the directions that are used for the reference pictures. In this method, if ref_fwd index is less than or equal to ref_bwd index, weighting factors of (V , Y ⁇ ) are used, otherwise weighting factors of (2, -1 ) are used. In the implicit mode, weighting factors of (2, -1) are always used for macroblocks coded in direct mode.
  • weighting factors of (2, -1) are always used for macroblocks coded in direct mode.
  • any number of weighting factors are transmitted for each slice. A weighting factor index is then transmitted for each motion block or 8x8 region of a macroblock that uses Bidirection prediction.
  • the decoder uses the received weighting factor index to choose the appropriate weighting factor, from the transmitted set, to use when decoding the motion block or 8x8 region. It has also been proposed to explicity transmit a weighting factor associated with each reference picture index once per slice or picture. A small but non-negligible number of bits is required to be transmitted for each slice or picture in this case.
