摘要:
Quantization in video coding is a lossy treatment and has as its main result that blocking artefacts occur at the boundary of two blocks during the decoding process. The invention relates to a method of removing these blocking artefacts. It implements a filtering step in the decoding process applied to a segment of pixels phaddling the boundary, which segment has pixels at the ends (R3, L3) that agree with a chrominance similarity criterion (step 1), i.e. filtering is applied to segments for which the pixels at the ends have similar colors.

The present invention relates to a method of and a device for decoding a set of encoded frames at a first resolution (SD) so as to produce a set of output frames at a lower resolution (QCIF). Said device comprises: a partial decoding unit (DECp) for producing a first residual error field at a second resolution lower than the first one and a second residual error field at a third resolution lower than the first one based on the encoded frame; —a first predicting unit (PRED1) for producing a first motion-compensated field based on the first residual error field, on a first reference field (Fix1) and on a second reference field (Fix2); a first adder for combining the first residual error field with the first motioncompensated field so as to obtain a next first reference field (Fiy1); —a second predicting unit (PRED2) for producing a second motion-compensated field based on the second residual error field, on the first reference field and on the second reference field; a second adder for combining the second residual error field with the second motioncompensated field so as to obtain a next second reference field (Fiy2), the next second reference field corresponding to an output frame.

The present invention relates to an encoding method processing video object planes (VOPs) of I, P or B type and including a dynamic allocation of said VOPs. According to said method, for each input frame a preliminary forward motion estimation is carried out between current and previous frames. Current and previous motion fields are then used to evaluate a coherence factor, expressed as connected to the sums of local differences within current and previous motion field. According to the value of the coherence factor with respect to an empirically determined threshold, a decision is finally taken on the type of the frame to be coded.

In the Improved PB-frames mode, one of the options of the H.263+ Recommendation, a macroblock of a B-frame may be encoded according to a forward, a backward or a bidirectional prediction mode. The invention relates to a method of encoding a sequence of pictures defining a strategy for the choice of a prediction mode among the three possible ones in the encoding of B-macroblock. This strategy is based upon SAD(Sum of Absolute Difference) calculations and motion vectors coherence and allows to use backward prediction when scene cuts occur. The calculations are here performed on original pictures allowing less calculation and reduction in CPU burden. The invention also relates to an encoding system for carrying out said method and including a computer-readable medium storing instructions that allow the implementation of this method.
