    摘要: A technique is provided for adaptively encoding in hardware, software or a combination thereof a sequence of frames in real time, wherein one or more of the frames includes a random noise portion. The technique includes using statistics analysis to determine whether a current frame includes a random noise portion, and if so, to evaluate and dynamically encode each macroblock thereof based on activity level of the macroblock. Evaluating macroblock activity level includes determining whether its activity level exceeds a predefined threshold indicative of random noise. The macroblock is adaptively encoded by adjusting one or more coding parameters if the macroblock activity level is excessive and its target bitrate is low. For example, when the macroblock is within the random noise portion of the frame, the macroblock is biased towards being coded predictive and an adjusted quantization level is calculated to conserve bits used in encoding the macroblock, thereby moving encode bits from macroblocks within the random noise portion of the frame to macroblocks within the normal portion of the frame.

    摘要: A technique is provided for encoding macroblocks of a frame of a sequence of video frames initially employing luminance data only to analyze temporal redundancy of the macroblocks within the frame. Upon deciding to code at least one macroblock as a non-intra macroblock, the technique includes considering whether to switch the coding decision for the at least one macroblock from non-intra to intra by evaluating chrominance data of the at least one macroblock. The evaluating of the chrominance data can include determining whether chrominance difference data, obtained by comparing chrominance values of a current macroblock with a reference macroblock, is greater than a user set chrominance difference threshold, and if so then the technique includes switching the macroblock coding decision. As a further qualification, the switching might occur only if the chrominance difference data is also greater than the corresponding luminance difference data.

    摘要: A method and system for encoding digital video picture data. In accordance with this method, the video picture data is partitioned into a group of blocks, at least some of those blocks are selected, one block at a time, and each of the selected blocks of data is encoded to form an encoded coefficient having an associated number of bits. The encoded coefficients are outputted, and an accumulated sum of the number of bits in the outputted encoded coefficients is kept. The outputting of the encoded coefficients is terminated at a defined time in order to prevent the accumulated sum from exceeding a given number.

    摘要: A technique is provided for programmably controlling output of compressed data from, for example, a video encoder. The technique can be implemented within the video encoder and includes buffering the compressed data in a write buffer, followed by transferring the compressed data from the write buffer to a read buffer. At least one programmable output mode is provided for selectively controlling output of the compressed data from the read buffer. When the read buffer is full, the compressed data is stored to the encoder's external memory to await transfer to the read buffer. The at least one programmable mode can include a slave mode, a gated master mode, a multi-cycle speed mode, and a paced master mode, which may be employed individually or in combination. A mechanism for inserting pad bytes of data into the compressed data is also provided.

    摘要: Plural encoders operating in parallel to achieve a desired data rate have their respective outputs combined by an autonomously operating arrangement for transfer of data to a direct memory access arrangement from respective encoders in order in response to a signal asserted upon completion of encoding and output of encoded data corresponding to a predetermined portion of input data. Buffering of encoder output can be either internal or external to the encoders. Zero bytes which may be inherently generated at the beginning and end of an encoder output stream may be suppressed to improve encoded signal quality and efficiency.

    摘要: Simultaneous vertical spatial filtering and chrominance conversion is achieved with reduced data buffering and simplified filtering circuits by using a single filter stage and hybrid filter coefficients. Data latency is reduced and performance requirements are reduced while avoiding critical signal propagation paths. The filter and buffers are fully compatible with any scan format having consecutively presented lines of image data, including both progressive and interlaced scan formats.
