摘要:
There are provided methods and apparatus for efficient first-pass encoding in a multi-pass encoder. An apparatus includes a multi-pass video encoder for performing a first-pass encoding of input image data for at least one picture by sub-sampling at least a portion of the input image data prior to the first-pass encoding. The sub-sampling is at least one of spatial sub-sampling and temporal sub-sampling.

There are provided methods and apparatus for enhanced performance in a multi-pass video encoder. An apparatus includes a video encoder for encoding a video bitstream. The apparatus further includes a video quality analyzer, in signal communication with the encoder, for performing a video quality analysis of the video bitstream for a given encoding pass to detect encoder compression artifacts in the video bitstream, and providing to the encoder information relating to the encoder compression artifacts to enable a re-encoding setup of the encoder to reduce an occurrence of the encoder compression artifacts in subsequent re-encoding passes. At least one of the video quality analysis and the re-encoding setup are automated.

A system and method for correcting artifacts present in video frames is disclosed. The system includes a decision module (110) and an artifact correction unit (120). The system receives artifact metrics (112) and artifact maps (122) corresponding to artifacts present in video frames and prioritizes the video frames to be corrected by considering the type and severity of the artifacts and the content of the video frames (113). Subsequent to prioritizing the video frames, the system corrects artifacts of selected frames by adjusting compressed domain parameters (126), such as quantization parameters and mode decisions. An encoder (130) compresses the video frames according to the adjusted compressed domain parameter to automatically provide a video stream with a lower incidence and severity of artifacts.

A method and system for identifying and determining banding artifacts in digital video content composed of a sequence of moving video pictures includes creating a mask image corresponding to a picture from said sequence of moving video pictures based on global gradient changes to detect potential areas containing banding artifacts. The values of the mask image are scaled thereby making banding artifact detection possible using gradient operators. The banding artifacts are then identified/detected based on the local gradients.

摘要:
A method is provided for block artifact detection and block artifact determination using multiple features in coded images and video. A method includes identifying a plurality of overlapping blocks in a picture with respect to a current block. Each of the plurality of overlapping blocks covers a portion of the current block and a portion of an adjacent block. The method further includes transforming at least one of the plurality of overlapping blocks into respective coefficients corresponding to at least one of a luminance component and a chrominance component. The method also includes identifying a block artifact for the at least one of the plurality of overlapping blocks when coefficients corresponding to the at least one of the plurality of overlapping blocks are larger than a predefined value.

摘要:
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.
