    摘要: The invention relates to a method of encoding an image divided into non-overlapping macroblocks themselves divided into non-overlapping blocks of N by N pixels into a binary stream. It comprises the steps of: —transforming each of the block into a transformed block of coefficients comprising one low frequency coefficient and N2-1 coefficients, called high frequency coefficients, of higher frequencies than the low frequency; —quantizing each coefficient of each of the transformed blocks with a quantizing parameter; —encoding the quantized coefficients into a binary stream. According to the invention, the low frequency coefficients of the transformed blocks are quantized with a same quantizing parameter, called first quantizing parameter.

    摘要: A spatial activity metric for characterizing an image is established, typically based one of the image variance, image gradient or DCT coefficients. The spatial activity metric is then reduced by the amount of the estimated noise in the image so that upon the spatial activity metric in connection with spatial masking, the likelihood of unmasked distortion caused by the presence of noise, such as film grain will be reduced. The effectiveness of such a spatial activity metric can be determined by determining similarity of the measures made by the spatial activity metric for regions in the image of similar texture and by determining the difference in the measures made by the spatial activity metric for regions of different texture in the image.

    摘要: The present principles provides a method and apparatus for jointly adjusting the rounding offset and the quantization step size on a macroblock level to improve the perceptual quality of the fine details of the encoded image. In one implementation, the content of the pictures is analyzed and the smooth regions are identified. A quantization step size value for the picture is initially defined and a rounding offset is adaptively assigned to each macroblock based on the content characteristics. The quantization step size is then calculated for the a particular macroblock according to another content characteristic of the macroblock such that the encoding of the particular macroblock is performed in response to the calculated quantization step size and the rounding offset value of the first block.

    摘要: The present invention involves detecting dark noise artifacts in coded images and video. Locations of artifacts in compressed pictures are found. A strength of the artifact per block is determined as is an overall dark noise artifact strength for each picture. Artifact detection and strength assignment is performed by analyzing candidate areas that could be prone to this type of artifact. Multiple features such as block variance, color information, luminance levels and location of the artifact could be used in this process. Also, median filtering may be used on the identified areas to eliminate isolated areas. A final artifact parameter for each picture can be assessed based on the total number of blocks that are classified as dark noise and also the strength of each macroblock.
