Definitions

  • Figure 5 illustrates the quantisation values generated by the process, for an illustrative sequence of frames
  • Figure 1 represents the operations performed in carrying out the invention as a series of functional elements. It will be understood that these operations may be performed by a microprocessor, and that the physical components are not necessarily distinct. In particular, similar processes shown as operating in parallel or sequentially 10,
  • the video encoder 1 comprises a number of functional elements.
  • the encoder 1 processes the data retrieved from the database 4 using a 'two-pass' process. Firstly, the entire sequence is parsed (10, 11 , 12, 13). From these results, the sequence is split (14) into a number of segments and statistics are stored (15) for those segments. Data from the encoding process is used to generate a general relationship between bit rate and quantisation level (16) and an optimum quantisation level is then identified 17 for each segment. This value is modified by a smoothing process 18. Using these statistics, a final bit-stream (or multiple bit-streams) with 'VBR' characteristics can be generated in a second pass 19. The statistics can also be used to prevent 'buffer-overflow' and 'underflow'.
  • the R-Q function is applicable to multiple streams of variable bit rates so it is referred to below as the 'Multi-Stream Rate Control (MRC)' function. It may be determined (process 16) as follows. In this embodiment two mathematical models are used, as experimental results have shown that they are accurate over different ranges of Q.
  • MRC Multi-Stream Rate Control
  • this check is performed for every frame. More typically, this value is set equal to the target frame rate. For example, if the target frame rate for a video sequence to be encoded is 15 frames/sec, S is set at a value of 15, so, the check will take place every 15 frames. In the example shown in Figure 3, the entire sequence has a length of 49 frames, and it has been dynamically separated into four individual segments Wn. Of course, in another example, there may be a smaller or larger number of segments Wn, depending on the content, and on the value of the threshold (A), set at the beginning of the encoding process.
  • Figure 2 shows a typical trace of 'Average Bits/frame(R)' in the 'y-axis', versus 'Frame No (N) 1 in the 'x-axis'.
  • Qn and QR are the values generated by the optimiser 17, but QL is the value resulting from the smoothing process when applied to the previous segment. In its turn, QR will be revised, using for the preceding segment the value of Qn' that is about to be generated).
  • This invention allows buffer underflow to be avoided by modification to the tramnsmitted signal before the actual transmission of the clip.

Abstract

Un flux vidéo a été codé sous forme numérique de façon que la fréquence à laquelle des segments particuliers de données sont codés varie en fonction de la quantité de données requise pour générer chaque segment. Au niveau du décodeur (2), des trames sont effacées du flux de manière sélective de sorte que la fréquence de trame cumulée ne soit pas inférieure à une valeur prédéterminée. Ce processus peut servir à garantir qu'une mémoire tampon (6) associée au décodeur (2) ne soit pas surchargée. La sélection des trames destinées à être effacées permet de préserver l'intégrité des trames restantes. Le décodeur (2) est adapté de manière à identifier les endroits où les trames ont été omises dans la transmission décodée, et à effectuer une resynchronisation (7) sur le flux décodé en comparant les estampilles temporelles du flux vidéo et d'un flux audio correspondant. L'on peut réaliser la resynchronisation en allongeant la durée de trames particulières ou en répétant des trames.
