Definitions
- the present invention relates to a moving image encoding method for generating an encoded stream by encoding an input image in units of blocks, and a moving image decoding method for decoding an encoded stream in units of blocks.
- Adaptive block transform is to perform orthogonal transform using a different transform block size for each macroblock in a video sequence when encoding a video (for example, non-patent literature). 1, see non-patent document 2).
- encoding distortion can be reduced and encoded image quality can be improved as compared with the case where only one transform block size is used.
- the appropriate conversion block size depends on the size of the video and the content of the motion in the picture.
- only one transform block size is sufficient. In that case, at the beginning of the sequence, at the beginning of the picture, a flag that prohibits multiple conversion block sizes (ie, constant conversion block size) is provided, and multiple conversion block sizes only when the flag power is ON. To switch.
- the implicit method uses the motion compensation block size to determine the transform block size. For example, if the motion compensation block size is greater than or equal to 8 X 8, the transform block size is 8 X 8. If the motion compensation block size is smaller than 8 x 8, the conversion block size is 4 x 4.

- the above prior art has the following problems to be solved.
- the problem to be solved regarding the implicit method is that different conversion block sizes cannot be flexibly used in the same picture in order to improve the quality of the encoded image.
- the problem with the explicit method is that additional information needs to be notified at the macroblock level for each picture using adaptive block transform, and the number of bits is large.
- the additional information often hinders the efficiency of the encoding.
- the use of adaptive block conversion may be completely prohibited and this additional information may not be sent at the macroblock level.
- switching of adaptive transform block size is prohibited. There is a possibility that the picture quality of the picture will be degraded.

You can switch between implicit or explicit methods. Therefore, adaptive block transform can be used efficiently, encoding efficiency can be improved, and moving picture quality can be improved.
- the implicit method may determine the transform block size based on a motion compensation block size used for motion compensation of the target block. Accordingly, for example, if the motion compensation block size is large, a large transform block size can be selected, and if the motion compensation block size is small, a small transform block size can be selected.
- the implicit method may determine the transform block size based on a motion vector of a block located in the vicinity of the target block.
- the target block contains complex motion (with different directions), so the error can be faithfully selected by selecting a small transform block size. Can be signed.
- the implicit method may determine the transform block size based on a quantization parameter used for quantization of the target block. For this reason, for example, when the quantization meter is large (the quantization step is large), it is often necessary to increase the compression rate by reducing the number of bits, so select a large transform block size. Thus, the number of bits after signing can be reduced.
- the moving picture decoding method is a moving picture decoding method for decoding a coded stream in units of blocks, and the coded stream power is also obtained when the target block is orthogonally transformed.
- An adaptive block conversion mode indicating a conversion block size notification method is acquired, the notification method is specified based on the adaptive block conversion mode, and the conversion block size is determined based on the specified notification method. It is determined, and the target block is subjected to inverse orthogonal transform with the determined transform block size to be decoded.

As a result of this determination, if the conversion size flag indicates 8 ⁇ 8 (Yes in step S902), the mode determination unit 207 selects 8 ⁇ 8 as the conversion block size (step S903). On the other hand, if the conversion size flag indicates 8 ⁇ 8 (No in step S902), the mode determination unit 207 selects 4 ⁇ 4 as the conversion block size (step S904).
- FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing the flow of operation of another specific example when determining the transform block size based on the transform size flag.
- the mode determination unit 207 determines whether or not the target macroblock force S intra code (intra-screen coding) is V and the motion compensation block size is smaller than 8 ⁇ 8! (Step S901). As a result of the determination, when intra-coding is not performed and the motion compensation block size is smaller than 8 ⁇ 8 (Yes in step S901), the mode determination unit 207 selects 4 ⁇ 4 as the transform block size (step S905) ).
- the reason for determining whether or not intra coding is used is that motion compensation block size cannot be obtained because motion compensation is not performed in the case of intra coding.
- the mode determination unit 207 acquires the conversion size flag of the target macroblock (step S801). .
- the mode determination unit 207 determines whether or not the conversion size flag indicates 8 ⁇ 8 (step S902). As a result of the determination, if the conversion size flag indicates 8 ⁇ 8 (Yes in step S902), the mode determination unit 207 selects 8 ⁇ 8 as the conversion block size (step S903). On the other hand, if the conversion size flag indicates 8 ⁇ 8! / ⁇ (No in step S902), the mode determination unit 207 selects 4 ⁇ 4 as the conversion block size (step S904).
- the conversion block size notification method is specified from the encoded stream used by selecting the implicit method or explicit method for each sequence, each picture, or each slice, and the conversion is performed.
- the block size can be determined.
- each functional block in the block diagrams shown in FIGS. 1 and 12 is typically an integrated circuit. It is realized as an LSI. These may be individually made into one chip, or may be made into one chip so as to include a part or all of them. (For example, functional blocks other than memory may be integrated into one chip.)
- IC integrated circuit
- system LSI system LSI
- super LSI monolithic LSI
- circuit integration is not limited to LSI's, and implementation using dedicated circuitry or general purpose processors is also possible.
- An FPGA Field Programmable Gate Array
- reconfigurable 'processor that can reconfigure the connection and settings of the circuit cells inside the LSI may be used.
- the moving picture coding method and the moving picture decoding method according to the present invention can be applied to any multimedia data, and can improve the coding efficiency and the quality of the moving picture.
- it is useful as a moving image encoding method and a moving image decoding method in storage, transmission, communication, etc. using a mobile phone, a DVD device, a personal computer, and the like.
