摘要:
Methods and apparatus are provided for video encoding and decoding with learned transform and compressive sensing. An apparatus includes a video encoder for encoding an image block in a picture by determining from a training data set an adaptive transform for transforming a signal capable of representing the image block into zero coefficients and non-zero coefficients, reconstructing the image block in a pixel domain to obtain a reconstructed version of the image block by minimizing a number of the non-zero coefficients in a transform domain corresponding to the transform responsive to information of the signal and a prediction of the image block, and incorporating the reconstructed version of the image block into a coding mode that is absent from any video coding standards and video coding recommendations.
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.

A method and apparatus are provided for rate control accuracy in video encoding. The apparatus includes a video encoder for encoding image data in a single encoding pass using rate control. The rate control involves defining a quantization step size value and a rounding offset value and refining at least the rounding offset value. The image data is encoded responsive to the quantization step size value and the refined rounding offset value.

There is disclosed a video encoder and corresponding method for encoding video data for an image block. The video encoder performs a mode decision by performing initial motion estimation on only a subset of possible block sizes to output motion information corresponding thereto, and determining, based upon the motion information corresponding to only the subset of possible of block sizes and upon other image-related analysis data, whether other block sizes are to be evaluated.

There are provided video encoders and corresponding methods for performing fast mode decision of B-frames. A video encoder for encoding video data for a B slice that is divisible into macroblocks includes an encoder (OO) for performing mode selection when encoding a current macroblock in the B slice by counting a number of neighboring macroblocks in the B slice coded in a DIRECT mode, and only checking one of the DIRECT MODE or a 16×16 mode for the current macroblock when the number of neighboring macroblocks coded in the DIRECT mode exceeds a predetermined threshold.
