摘要:
A method and apparatus evaluates quantization matrices used in video codec systems. Two primary factors are considered in making these estimates. The first is the human visual system contrast sensitivity function. This function measures how well a quantization matrix fits human visual characteristics. The second factor is a typical viewing setting, such as a range of typical viewing distances. For consumer use, the viewing range is one to four times picture height. For professional use, it is assumed the viewing range is one-half to three times picture height. The quantization matrix used in a video codec system defines the quantization step for different frequency bands. This quantization step is essentially equivalent to the allowable error in a frequency band. The present invention evaluates the quantization matrix for its effectiveness in hiding distortion errors. By using this evaluation scheme, the quantization matrix can be modified as needed, and the overall performance of the quantization matrix in a video codec system is improved substantially.

A system stream contiguous reproduction apparatus to which are input one or more system streams interleaving at least moving picture data and audio data, and system stream connection information includes a system clock STC generator for producing the system clock that is used as the system stream reproduction reference clock. The system stream contiguous reproduction apparatus further includes one or more signal processing decoders that operate referenced to the system clock STC, decoder buffers for temporarily storing the system stream data transferred to the corresponding signal processing decoders, and STC selectors for selecting a system clock STC referenced by the signal processing decoders when decoding the first system stream, and another system clock STC referenced by the signal processing decoders when decoding a second system stream reproduced contiguously to the first system stream.

A coding compression method for encoding the video image signal with a variable bit rate includes performing coding to the video image signal for each predetermined coding unit in accordance with a predetermined first coding parameter, which coding is completed within the coding unit, thereby generating a first coded stream, calculating a second coding parameter of the video image signal for each the predetermined coding unit while generating the first coded stream, indicating a partial section of the first coded stream, the partial section comprising the predetermined coding units, editing the second coding parameters corresponding to the designated subsections, performing coding to the video image signal of the designated subsections in accordance with the edited second coding parameters thereby to produce a second coded stream, and replacing a partial section of the first coded stream with at least a partial section of the second coded stream, the partial section of the second coded stream corresponding to the partial section of the first coded stream.

Provided is a production apparatus that can produce a distribution content that offers an even richer color tone expression during playback of video. The production apparatus for producing a distribution content including distribution video data is constituted by an original acquisition unit that acquires original video data; a distribution video acquisition unit that acquires the distribution video data, the distribution video data having been generated by conversion of the original video data to a lower gradation; a difference generation unit that generates difference data between the original video data and the distribution video data; and an output unit that outputs the difference data. A playback apparatus plays back the distribution content.
摘要:
A coding method for coding a picture in a moving picture with a processor configured to code, on a block-by-basis, each picture in the moving picture, to generate a coded stream. The processor transforms each picture into coefficients representing spatial frequency components and quantizes the coefficients with a quantization matrix. Identification information identifying the quantization matrix is provided in the coded stream in predetermined units to reduce the amount of data to be coded. The processor is configured to use a coded quantization matrix for a chroma component rather than a default quantization matrix.

An optical disk for recording stereoscopic videos and high-quality video signals and a system for reproducing the videos and signals from the optical disk are made compatible with the conventional video reproducing system. A reproducing device which is used for reproducing stereoscopic videos and high-quality videos obtains stereoscopic video or high-quality videos by reproducing both first and second interleaved blocks on the optical disk in which first and second video signals are alternately recorded on the left and right sides by dividing the first and second video signals into frame groups of one GOP or more and a reproducing device which is not used for reproducing the stereoscopic videos and high-quality videos obtains ordinary videos by only reproducing either the first or second interleaved block by jumping tracks.

A moving picture coding apparatus 1 includes: a quantization matrix holding unit (112) that holds a quantization matrix (WM) which has already been transmitted in a parameter set and a matrix ID for identifying the quantization matrix (WM), which are associated with each other; and a variable length coding unit (111) that obtains the matrix ID corresponding to the quantization matrix (WM) used for quantization from the quantization matrix holding unit (112) and places the matrix ID in a coded stream Str.
