摘要:
An encoded video data re-compressing apparatus further compresses, for further transmission or storage, an encoded video data stream that includes quantization parameters and quantized coefficients without having to decompress the encoded video data streams and subsequently re-compress the decompressed video data. The encoded video data stream is parsed for extracting the quantization parameters and quantized coefficients from other side information. The quantized coefficients are either divided by a predetermined integer or selectively discarded to reduce the total number of bits. In the former case, the corresponding quantization parameters are multiplied by a predetermined integer. The manipulated coefficients and quantization parameters are multiplexed with the side information, such that they occupy the location of the corresponding original coefficients and quantization parameters in the video data stream. Equipped with a digital data recorder and a set of switches, the encoded digital video data stream could be recorded in either its original form (a normal recording mode) or a more compact form (a long recording mode) by dividing the quantized coefficients by a predetermined integer or selectively discarding some of the coefficients.

In a scaling method of interlaced video signals suitable for layered coding, interpolation process is restricted within a frame where the interpolation of one field in a frame is derived from the same field and its opposite field in the same frame. The first field is converted to a first progressive image such that an interpolated line in the first field is formed by an weighted average of two or more adjacent lines in the first field plus an weighted average of two or more adjacent lines in the second field where one of these lines is co-sited with the interpolated line in the first field. Similarly, the second field is converted to a second progressive image such that an interpolated line in the second field is formed by an weighted average of two or more adjacent lines in the second field plus an weighted average of two or more adjacent lines in the first field where one of the lines in the first field is co-sited with the interpolated line in the second field. The first and second progressive images are then resampled vertically according to a predetermined resampling ratio m/n, where m and n are integers with n indicating the number of output samples out of m input samples. The sum of the weights for filtering the lines in the opposite field is zero.

For mode selection in motion compensated coding of digital video signals, reference is mode to the original pictures instead of decompressed pictures. Minimum errors produced during motion estimation, corresponding to optimum motion vectors, are used for mode selection. A motion detector detects a optimum motion vector of a current block, for each possible reference picture in the past and future, and outputs the optimum motion vectors and corresponding minimum errors. In a mode selector, an activity of the current block is estimated, an interpolated prediction obtained by averaging predictions from the past and future is evaluated, and an optimum mode is determined which gives a smallest value among all the minimum errors, the activity of the current block and the evaluation of the interpolated prediction.
