摘要:
Various techniques and tools for coding and decoding interlaced video are described, including (1) hybrid motion vector prediction for interlaced forward-predicted fields, (2) using motion vector block patterns, (3) selecting between dominant and non-dominant polarities for motion vector predictors, (4) joint coding and decoding of reference field selection information and differential motion vector information, (5) joint coding/decoding of macroblock mode information for macroblocks of interlaced forward-predicted fields, (6) using a signal of the number of reference fields available for an interlaced forward-predicted field, and (7) deriving chroma motion vectors for macroblocks of interlaced forward-predicted fields. The various techniques and tools can be used in combination or independently.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for selecting a quantizer scale for each macroblock within a frame to optimize the coding rate is presented (130). A quantizer scale is selected for each macroblock (120) within each frame such that the target bit rate for the frame is achieved while maintaining a uniform visual quality over the entire frame.

摘要:
A method (200) and apparatus (100) for adapting and enhancing the behavior of an MPEG-like encoder to the presence and/or absence of 3:2 pull-down processed video information within a video information stream to be encoded. Specifically, a rate controller (140) within an MPEG-like encoder (100), in response to a detection (142; 235) of 3:2 pull-down processing of material to be encoded (IN), such as mixed mode video material, dynamically allocates (225-255) a group of pictures (GOP) bit budget (R).

There is provided an image recording device, including: a highly-gradating unit for highly-gradating an input image having a first gradation depth, thereby generating a high gradation image having a second gradation depth higher than the first gradation depth; an image quantizing unit for quantizing the high gradation image generated by the highly-gradating unit such that a quantization error is modulated into a band with relatively low sensitivity of human visual characteristics, thereby generating a recording target image having a third gradation depth lower than the second gradation depth; an encoding unit for encoding the recording target image generated by the quantizing unit; and a recording unit for recording the recording target image encoded by the encoding unit in a recording medium.

摘要:
A video bitrate control method and apparatus that control a generated bitrate of a picture to be encoded, based on an initial value of an allocation bitrate that is previously given to each picture are provided, wherein a difference between an allocation bitrate and an actually generated bitrate of a picture that has been encoded is obtained as an error bitrate, one of a maximum value and a minimum value of the allocation bitrate is selected for a plurality of subsequent pictures, as an allowable correction range, based on the sign of the error bitrate, the maximum value and the minimum value of the allocation bitrate being calculated based on the initial value of the allocation bitrate and a previously given constant, a difference between the allowable correction range and the allocation bitrate is obtained for the plurality of pictures, as an allowable variation bitrate, the ratio of the sum of allowable variation bitrates and the error bitrate is obtained as an update rate, a variation bitrate for the allocation bitrate is calculated for the plurality of pictures based on the allowable variation bitrate and the update rate, and the allocation bitrate of each of the plurality of pictures is updated based on the variation bitrate.
