A video encoder is disclosed that includes an encoder circuit, a quantizer circuit and a control circuit. The encoder circuit may be configured to generate a number of coefficient values in response to a video stream and a number of quantized values. The quantizer circuit may be configured to generate the number of quantized values in response to the coefficient values, two or more quantization dead zones and two or more offsets. The control circuit may be configured to set the two or more quantization dead zones and the two or more offsets to different values. The two or more quantization dead zones and the two or more offsets are independently programmable.

摘要:
A video encoder including an encoder circuit, a quantizer circuit and a control circuit. The encoder circuit may be configured to generate a plurality of coefficient values and motion vectors in response to a video stream, a first control signal, a second control signal, and a number of quantized values. The control circuit may be configured to (i) generate the first control signal, the second control signal, and a quantizer index signal and (ii) set two or more quantization dead zones and two or more offsets to different values, where the quantization dead zones and the offsets are independently programmable. The quantizer circuit may be configured to generate the number of quantized values in response to the coefficient values, the quantizer index signal, the two or more quantization dead zones and the two or more offsets. A first coefficient value may be quantized using a first quantization dead zone and a first offset. A second coefficient value may be quantized using a second quantization dead zone and a second offset. The first and second quantization dead zones generally have different values. The first and second offsets generally have different values. Quantization calculations determining each quantized value take into account respective quantization dead zones and offsets.

The method generally includes the steps of (A) estimating a magnitude of coding artifacts created by a coding process for the compressed data based upon the compressed data, (B) generating a plurality of noise samples with a probability distribution over a range, the probability distribution determined by the magnitude and (C) adding the noise samples to the reconstructed picture for concealment of the coding artifacts.

A method for composite noise filtering is disclosed. The method generally includes the steps of (A) generating a selection value in response to a stationary check identifying one of a plurality of blendings for a current item of a current field, (B) generating a filtered item in response to one of (i) a first of the blendings between the current item and a first previous item co-located in a first previous field having an opposite phase of composite artifacts from the current field and (ii) a second of the blendings between the current item and a first motion compensated item from the first previous field and (C) switching between the first blending and the second blending in response to the selection value.
