Definitions
- the present principles relate generally to video encoding and decoding and, more particularly, to methods and apparatus for the selection of transforms to be used for video encoding and decoding.
- the block-based discrete transform is a fundamental component of many image and video compression standards and recommendations including the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) Standard, the International Telecommunication
- MPEG-1 MPEG-1
- MPEG-2 the MPEG-2 Standard
- ISO/IEC MPEG-4 Part 10 Advanced Video Coding (AVC) Standard /ITU-T H.264 Recommendation
- MPEG-4 AVC Standard (hereinafter the "MPEG-4 AVC Standard"), and others, and it is used in a wide range of applications.
- the discrete cosine transform is the most extensively used block transform.
- the DCT scheme takes advantage of the local spatial correlation property of the image/frame by dividing the image/frame into blocks of pixels (usually 4x4 and 8x8), transforming each block from the spatial domain to the frequency domain using the discrete cosine transform, and quantizing the DCT coefficients.
- Most image and video compression standards use a fixed two-dimensional (2-D) separable DCT block transform. If several block sizes are allowed (typically, from 4x4 to 16x16 blocks), then they use a DCT having a size corresponding to the block. Nonetheless, there is only one possible transform for each block size.
- the image and video content has data with varying statistics and properties.
- the availability of, and hence forced use of, a single transform per block size fails to realize any potential compression gains that could be available using a different transform than the single transform available per block size.
- a video encoder capable of performing video encoding in accordance with the MPEG-4 AVC Standard is indicated generally by the reference numeral 100.
- the video encoder 100 includes a frame ordering buffer 110 having an output in signal communication with a non-inverting input of a combiner 185.

- KLT Karhunen Loeve Transform
- a second prior art approach proposes to modify the DCT transform to several frequencies, that is, changing the basis functions with different all-pass filters to attain a variety of warped frequency responses.
- the resulting transforms are called warped DCT (WDCT).
- An exhaustive rate distortion (R-D) search is performed for each block and the selected transform is indicated with side information.
- R-D exhaustive rate distortion
- a third prior art approach describes using the WDCT and embedding the transform selection within the transformed coefficients themselves.
- the method shows good performance for low-bit rate image compression.
- the method adds a post-filtering step that minimizes the mean square error (MSE).
- MSE mean square error
- a fourth prior art approach proposes an algebraic optimization of a set of transforms for a large database.
- the set is partitioned iteratively until it reaches a stable point in which each transform is sparse-optimal for its particular subset of data.
- the coder indicates through a quad-tree which transform is used in each block. Thus, the transform choice is not done independently for each block.
- a fifth prior art approach proposes an integer sine transform (1ST) for inter frame mode.
- An inter frame residue has a low correlation, and the DCT is adequate only for highly correlated data. Therefore, it proposes a sine transform, which is efficient for data with a correlation from -0.5 to 0.5.
- the KLT coincides with the sine transform in part of this range.
- the 1ST is derived from the sine transform in exactly the same way as the integer cosine transform in the MPEG-4 AVC Standard.
- the fifth prior art approach has implemented the 4x4 and 8x8 1ST versions. The same transform is applied for the whole macroblock, sending a flag, unless the macroblock is divided into 4 sub-macroblocks, then 4 flags are sent specifying the transform employed in each sub-macroblock.
- a sixth prior art approach proposes a scheme similar to that proposed in the fifth prior art approach.
- the sixth prior art approach proposes an adaptive prediction error coding (APEC) scheme that enables adaptive prediction error coding in the spatial and frequency domain. For each block of the prediction error, either transform coding or spatial domain coding is applied. The algorithm with a lower rate-distortion cost is chosen.
- APEC adaptive prediction error coding

- any flow charts, flow diagrams, state transition diagrams, pseudocode, and the like represent various processes which may be substantially represented in computer readable media and so executed by a computer or processor, whether or not such computer or processor is explicitly shown.
- the functions of the various elements shown in the figures may be provided through the use of dedicated hardware as well as hardware capable of executing software in association with appropriate software.
- the functions may be provided by a single dedicated processor, by a single shared processor, or by a plurality of individual processors, some of which may be shared.
- processor or “controller” should not be construed to refer exclusively to hardware capable of executing software, and may implicitly include, without limitation, digital signal processor (“DSP”) hardware, read-only memory (“ROM”) for storing software, random access memory (“RAM”), and non-volatile storage. Other hardware, conventional and/or custom, may also be included.
- DSP digital signal processor
- ROM read-only memory
- RAM random access memory
- non-volatile storage non-volatile storage.
- Other hardware conventional and/or custom, may also be included.
- any switches shown in the figures are conceptual only. Their function may be carried out through the operation of program logic, through dedicated logic, through the interaction of program control and dedicated logic, or even manually, the particular technique being selectable by the implementer as more specifically understood from the context.
- any element expressed as a means for performing a specified function is intended to encompass any way of performing that function including, for example, a) a combination of circuit elements that performs that function or b) software in any form, including, therefore, firmware, microcode or the like, combined with appropriate circuitry for executing that software to perform the function.
- the present principles as defined by such claims reside in the fact that ' the functionalities provided by the various recited means are combined and brought together in the manner which the claims call for. It is thus regarded that any means that can provide those functionalities are equivalent to those shown herein.
- a picture and “image” are used interchangeably and refer to a still image or a picture from a video sequence.
- a picture may be a frame or a field.
- the word “block” refers to a block of any block size, including a super macroblock, a macroblock, a macroblock partition, and a sub- macroblock partition.
- the word “refinement” with respect to a set of transforms or a transform refers to information required to derive a transform/set of transforms from a reference transforms/set of transforms. Usually, it is more efficient to send the information of the "difference" (refinement) of a transform/set of transforms than to send all the information required to derive the transform/set of transforms from scratch.
- side information refers to additional information that has to be included in the bitstream to convey to the decoder additional data that is not found in the usual bitstream. For instance, if two transforms may be used to encode a block, the selected transform has to be signaled so the decoder knows what inverse transform to use. Therefore, the encoder could include 1 bit of 'side information' indicating what inverse transform is to be used.
- such phrasing is intended to encompass the selection of the first listed option (A) only, or the selection of the second listed option (B) only, or the selection of the third listed option (C) only, or the selection of the first and the second listed options (A and B) only, or the selection of the first and third listed options (A and C) only, or the selection of the second and third listed options (B and C) only, or the selection of all three options (A and B and C).
- This may be extended, as readily apparent by one of ordinary skill in this and related arts, for as many items listed.
- the present principles are directed to methods and apparatus for transform selection in video coding. Recognizing that image and video content has data with varying statistics and properties, we also recognize that there are potential compression gains to be realized if several transforms could be used for each block, selecting for each situation the most favorable transform within a range of options. In at least one embodiment, we propose to optimize/design a set of transforms to given statistics or patterns and select from the set the best transform for each region or block. Thus, we propose a more general and broader approach that includes alternatives not considered in the prior art. In accordance with the present principles, we describe using a set of transforms (two or more transforms) and then encode an image or video choosing the best transform of the set for each region, slice, block or macroblock. The set of transforms may be optimized or designed for a range of statistics or image/video patterns. The present principles also involve how to choose the best transform and the proper signaling of the selected transform, so that the image/video decoder can recover the choice information efficiently.
- the video encoder can choose from among different transforms for each block, macroblock, or region to achieve the best performance. Then, in an embodiment, we combine the set of transforms in the encoder with a light syntax that does not damage the potential gains.

- Techniques exist to derive an optimal set of transforms when the data to be encoded is available or there is an adequate training data set. For instance, a training set of several sequences can be available and these techniques can provide a set of transforms that partition the data space such that each transform is the best for its part of the data. Then, given a block, the encoder has to determine the type of data the block belongs to and use the adequate transform.
- the set of transforms is derived offline employing a set of sequences as a training data.
- KLT-based, sparsity-based, energy- compaction or other methods can be used to derive the set of transforms once a good training set is established.
- the fourth prior art approach mentioned above proposes an off-line optimization based on training data with an algebraic optimization process.
- the process is driven by a cost function aiming to obtain a suited set of transforms for the given data.
- the cost function consists of two terms consistent with compression purposes.
- the algorithm attempts to minimize a reconstruction error term, while maximizing a term related to the sparsity of the transform coefficients representation. In principle, more sparsity means less bit-rate to convey the coefficients' information.
- each of these transforms may be non-separable or separable. If they are separable, each direction (vertical/horizontal) may be equal or different.
- a subset of a family of transforms can be selected, so that the subset has good properties in order to encode the input data.
- a subset of the WDCT could be determined for the video data to encode.
- a subset of the lapped transforms could be determined. Once the subset is fixed, the encoder only needs to convey the information of what transform within the family subset is used.
- the subset of transforms is selected according to the quality of the reconstructed video. The quality of the output can be determined by the quantization step of the encoder, the quantization parameter (QP), the goal bit- rate, the PSNR, and/or any parameter of metric that indicates the desired output video quality.
- QP quantization parameter
- the set of transforms is derived online from the data already being encoded.
- Two exemplary implementations of this embodiment are provided as follows.
- reconstructed data of previous frames is used as a training set to derive the set of transforms with any of the available methods.
- reconstructed data is used to refine the transform that is being used, so that the transform is updated online to match the ongoing data statistics.
- the set of transforms is derived from the data to be encoded.
- data to be encoded includes, but is not limited to, the original frame or statistics drawn from the next frames to encode. Therefore, the encoder analyzes the sequence or the next part of the sequence to encode and determines with any of the available methods the best set of transforms to use or selects the best family of transforms to use. In this case, the encoder needs to send as side information the set of transforms that are going to be used.
- the encoder finds the best set of transforms and sends all the transforms to use.
- the encoder finds the best set of transforms to use, and the decoder tries to deduce the best set from previous decoded data, so that the encoder only needs to send a refinement of the transform deducted by the decoder (so that there is no error or mismatch between the encoder and decoder).
- the encoder selects from a variety of sets of transforms (available at both the encoder and decoder) the best set to use, and signals the particular set to the decoder.
- the encoder finds the particular set of transforms from a family of transforms that is best suited for the data. Then, the encoder conveys to the decoder the particular subset of the family of transforms that has been selected.
- the encoder can send the selected transform to the decoder with a flag included in the syntax at the slice, macroblock, or block level.
- the best transform for each block is determined with a rate-distortion cost function.
- the selected transform can be conveyed with a quadtree or other types of trees that allow specifying explicitly and flexibly the selected transform for different regions in the frame. In this way, the region of a transform can be more arbitrary than the simple block shape of the previous embodiment.
- the selected transform can be sent by hiding the flag (that indicates which transform is to be used) within the transforms coefficients themselves.
- a possible embodiment of this alternative is explained in the following. Presume that there are only two transforms in the set of transforms. Then, if transform 1 is selected, then the encoder enforces the sum of the transform coefficients to be even. If transform 2 is selected, then the encoder enforces the sum of the transform coefficients to be odd. At the decoder, the transform coefficients are recovered and the parity of their sum computed. If the parity is even, then the inverse transform to apply is that of transform 1. If the parity is odd, then the inverse transform to apply is that of transform 2.
- the flag can be hidden in the transform coefficients and it is recoverable at the decoder side so both the encoder and decoder are in synchrony.
- hiding the flag in the coefficients is not limited to having two transforms. Such technique can be straightforward extended to any number of transforms.
- the explicit information of the selected transform is not sent. In this case, it can be deduced from the data already decoded. This information has to be available at both the encoder and decoder and the way to extract the selected transform from the data has to be the same in both so they are in synchrony. There is a variety of information from which the transform can be selected.
- 5 particular embodiments of this implicit signaling are provided. Of course, the present principles are not limited to the following embodiments relating to implicit signaling and, given the teachings of the present principles provided herein, one of ordinary skill in this and related arts will contemplate these and other implementations, while maintaining the spirit of the present principles.
- the inter prediction mode employed is used to implicitly signal the transform(s). In one implementation of this embodiment, if it is a direct mode, transform 1 is used. Otherwise, transform 2 is used.
- the motion vector is used to implicitly signal the transform(s).
- the transform to be used can depend on the motion vector of the block (its size, direction, reference picture, and so forth).
- the transform depends on the residue of previous encoded blocks. Then, the statistics of the residue of the previous encoded blocks determines what transform within the set is used.
- the transform choice depends on the predicted data for the block. There is some correlation between the residue and the predicted data that can be exploited in the choice of the best transform. As an example, if the prediction has a directional component, then this directionality is usually also evident in the residue. Then, the use of a directional transform for that given direction gives a better performance because directional transforms can take advantage of the directional component of the residue in a way that non-directional transforms can not.
- the transform choice can be dependent on the transform selections of the neighboring reconstructed blocks, which are available at both the encoder and decoder.
- the present principles may be considered to involve two parts, namely how to select the set of transforms and how to convey the selected transform within the set for each particular block.
- Several alternatives are proposed for each of these two parts.
- the proposed approaches can combine any of the proposed alternatives for each of the parts.
- each transform may need its particular quantization process, as well as a different scanning order of the coefficients prior to entropy encoding.
- each scanning order may be done adaptive to the statistics of each transform. In one embodiment, the scanning order of each transform can be adaptive to the number of times a particular coefficient position has been previously encoded as significant.
- the present principles consider the following extensions of the transform: quantization process of the transform; scanning order of the transform; and potential adaptivity of this scanning order.
