- the image encoding and decoding in this application are the same as the encoding and decoding of video images. Some basic processes and related content of the encoding and decoding of video images are described in detail below.
- Video coding generally refers to processing a sequence of pictures that form a video or video sequence.
- the terms "picture”, "frame” or “image” can be used as synonyms.
- Video encoding used in this article means video encoding or video decoding.
- Video encoding is performed on the source side and usually includes processing (for example, by compressing) the original video picture to reduce the amount of data required to represent the video picture, so as to store and/or transmit more efficiently.
- Video decoding is performed on the destination side and usually involves inverse processing relative to the encoder to reconstruct the video picture.
- the “encoding” of video pictures involved in the embodiments should be understood as involving “encoding” or “decoding” of a video sequence.
- the combination of the encoding part and the decoding part is also called codec (encoding and decoding).
- a video sequence includes a series of pictures, the pictures are further divided into slices, and the slices are divided into blocks.
- Video coding is performed in units of blocks.
- the concept of blocks is further expanded.
- MB macroblock
- the macroblock can be further divided into multiple prediction blocks (partitions) that can be used for predictive coding.
- HEVC high efficiency video coding
- basic concepts such as coding unit (CU), prediction unit (PU), and transform unit (TU) are adopted.
- CU coding unit
- PU prediction unit
- TU transform unit
- a variety of block units are divided, and a new tree-based structure is used for description.
- the CU can be divided into smaller CUs according to the quadtree, and the smaller CUs can be further divided to form a quadtree structure.
- the CU is a basic unit for dividing and encoding the coded image.
- PU can correspond to prediction block and is the basic unit of prediction coding.
- the CU is further divided into multiple PUs according to the division mode.
- the TU can correspond to the transform block and is the basic unit for transforming the prediction residual.
- no matter CU, PU or TU they all belong to the concept of block (or image block) in nature.
- a CTU is split into multiple CUs by using a quadtree structure represented as a coding tree.
- a decision is made at the CU level whether to use inter-picture (temporal) or intra-picture (spatial) prediction to encode picture regions.
- Each CU can be further split into one, two or four PUs according to the PU split type.
- the same prediction process is applied in a PU, and relevant information is transmitted to the decoder on the basis of the PU.
- the CU may be divided into transform units (TU) according to other quadtree structures similar to the coding tree used for the CU.
- quad-tree and binary tree quad-tree and binary tree (quad-tree and binary tree, QTBT) are used to divide frames to divide coding blocks.
- the CU may have a square or rectangular shape.
- the image block to be encoded in the currently encoded image may be referred to as the current image block.
- a reference block is a block that provides a reference signal for the current image block, where the reference signal represents the pixel value in the image block.
- the block in the reference image that provides the prediction signal for the current image block may be the prediction block, where the prediction signal represents the pixel value or sample value or sample signal in the prediction block. For example, after traversing multiple reference blocks, the best reference block is found. This best reference block will provide prediction for the current image block, and this block is called a prediction block.
- the original video picture can be reconstructed, that is, the reconstructed video picture has the same quality as the original video picture (assuming no transmission loss or other data loss during storage or transmission).
- quantization is performed to perform further compression to reduce the amount of data required to represent the video picture, and the decoder side cannot completely reconstruct the video picture, that is, the quality of the reconstructed video picture is compared with the original video picture The quality is low or poor.
- Video coding standards of H.261 belong to "lossy hybrid video coding and decoding” (that is, combining spatial and temporal prediction in the sample domain with 2D transform coding for applying quantization in the transform domain).
- Each picture of a video sequence is usually divided into a set of non-overlapping blocks, and is usually coded at the block level.
- the encoder side usually processes at the block (video block) level, that is, encodes the video.
- the prediction block is generated by spatial (intra-picture) prediction and temporal (inter-picture) prediction, from the current image block (current processing or The block to be processed) is subtracted from the prediction block to obtain the residual block, the residual block is transformed in the transform domain and the residual block is quantized to reduce the amount of data to be transmitted (compressed), and the decoder side will be inverse to the encoder
- the processing part is applied to the coded or compressed block to reconstruct the current image block for representation.
- the encoder duplicates the decoder processing loop, so that the encoder and the decoder generate the same prediction (for example, intra prediction and inter prediction) and/or reconstruction for processing, that is, to encode subsequent blocks.

- ME Motion estimation
- Motion estimation is to try multiple reference blocks in the reference image for the current image block, and then use rate-distortion optimization (RDO) or other methods to finally determine one or two reference blocks from the multiple reference blocks ( Two reference blocks are required for bidirectional prediction), and the reference block is used to perform inter-frame prediction on the current image block.

- the motion information of the current image block includes the indication information of the prediction direction (usually forward prediction, backward prediction or bidirectional prediction), one or two motion vectors (motion vectors, MV) pointing to the reference block, and the reference block
- the indication information of the image in which it is located usually recorded as a reference frame index (reference index)).
- Forward prediction means that the current image block selects a reference image from the forward reference image set to obtain a reference block.
- Backward prediction means that the current image block selects a reference image from the backward reference image set to obtain a reference block.
- Bidirectional prediction refers to selecting one reference image from the forward reference image set and the backward reference image set to obtain the reference block. When the bidirectional prediction method is used, there will be two reference blocks in the current coding block, and each reference block needs a motion vector and a reference frame index to indicate, and then the pixels in the current image block are determined according to the pixel values of the pixels in the two reference blocks The predicted value of the point pixel value.
- AMVP mode In HEVC, there are two inter prediction modes, namely AMVP mode and merge mode.
- the AMVP mode it first traverses the current coded block's spatial or temporal adjacent coded blocks (denoted as neighboring blocks), constructs a candidate motion vector list based on the motion information of each neighboring block, and then obtains the candidate motion information from the candidate motion information through the rate distortion cost
- the optimal motion vector is determined in the list, and the candidate motion information with the smallest rate-distortion cost is used as the motion vector predictor (MVP) of the current coding block.
- MVP motion vector predictor
- the rate-distortion cost can be calculated according to formula (1), where J is the rate-distortion cost, and SAD is the difference between the pixel prediction value obtained after motion estimation using the candidate motion vector prediction value and the original pixel value
- the sum of absolute differences (SAD) R is the code rate
- ⁇ is the Lagrangian multiplier
- the encoder transmits the index value of the selected motion vector predictor in the candidate motion vector list and the reference frame index value To the decoding end.
