- the depicted encoding system 300 accomplishes layered compression, whereby a portion of the channel is used for providing a plurality of lower resolution base layers and the remaining portion is used for transmitting a plurality of enhancement layers, whereby various base layers and base and enhancement layers can be combined to create video streams of differing quality levels. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that other encoding arrangements can also be used to create multilayered base and enhancement video streams and the invention is not limited thereto.
- the encoder 300 comprises a base encoder 312 and an enhancement encoder 314.
- the base encoder is comprised of a low pass filter and downsampler 320, a motion estimator 322, a motion compensator 324, an orthogonal transform (e.g., Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT)) circuit 330, a quantizer 332, a variable length coder (VLC) 334, a bitrate control circuit 335, an inverse quantizer 338, an inverse transform circuit 340, switches 328, 344, and an interpolate and upsample circuit 350.
- DCT Discrete Cosine Transform
- VLC variable length coder
- An input video block 316 is split by a splitter 318 and sent to both the base encoder 312 and the enhancement encoder 314.
- the input block is inputted into a low pass filter and downsampler 320.
- the low pass filter reduces the resolution of the video block which is then fed to the motion estimator 322.
- the motion estimator 322 processes picture data of each frame as an I-picture, a P-picture, or as a B- picture.
- Each of the pictures of the sequentially entered frames is processed as one of the I-, P-, or B-pictures in a pre-set manner, such as in the sequence of I, B, P, B, P,..., B, P.
- the motion estimator 322 refers to a pre-set reference frame in a series of pictures stored in a frame memory not illustrated and detects the motion vector of a macro-block, that is, a small block of 16 pixels by 16 lines of the frame being encoded by pattern matching (block Matching) between the macro-block and the reference frame for detecting the motion vector of the macro-block.
- a macro-block that is, a small block of 16 pixels by 16 lines of the frame being encoded by pattern matching (block Matching) between the macro-block and the reference frame for detecting the motion vector of the macro-block.
- an intra-coding intra- frame coding
- a forward predictive coding forward predictive coded
- a backward predictive coding backward predictive coding
- a bi- directional predictive-coding there are four picture prediction modes, that is an intra-coding (intra- frame coding), a forward predictive coding, a backward predictive coding, and a bi- directional predictive-coding.
- An I-picture is an intra-coded picture
- a P-picture is an intra- coded or forward predictive coded or backward predictive coded picture
- a B-picture is an intra-coded, a forward predictive coded, or a bi-directional predictive-coded picture.
- the motion estimator 322 performs forward prediction on a P-picture to detect its motion vector. Additionally, the motion estimator 322 performs forward prediction, backward prediction, and bi-directional prediction for a B-picture to detect the respective motion vectors. In a known manner, the motion estimator 322 searches, in the frame memory, for a block of pixels which most resembles the current input block of pixels. Various search algorithms are known in the art. They are generally based on evaluating the mean absolute difference (MAD) or the mean square error (MSE) between the pixels of the current input block and those of the candidate block. The candidate block having the least MAD or MSE is then selected to be the motion-compensated prediction block. Its relative location with respect to the location of the current input block is the motion vector.
- MAD mean absolute difference
- MSE mean square error
- the motion compensator 324 may read out encoded and already locally decoded picture data stored in the frame memory in accordance with the prediction mode and the motion vector and may supply the read-out data as a prediction picture to arithmetic unit 325 and switch 344.
- the arithmetic unit 325 also receives the input block and calculates the difference between the input block and the prediction picture from the motion compensator 324. The difference value is then supplied to the DCT circuit 330. If only the prediction mode is received from the motion estimator 322, that is, if the prediction mode is the intra-coding mode, the motion compensator 324 may not output a prediction picture.
- the arithmetic unit 325 may not perform the above- described processing, but instead may directly output the input block to the DCT circuit 330.
- the DCT circuit 330 performs DCT processing on the output signal from the arithmetic unit 33 so as to obtain DCT coefficients which are supplied to a quantizer 332.
- the quantizer 332 sets a quantization step (quantization scale) in accordance with the data storage quantity in a buffer (not illustrated) received as a feedback and quantizes the DCT coefficients from the DCT circuit 330 using the quantization step.
- the quantized DCT coefficients are supplied to the VLC unit 334 along with the set quantization step.
- the VLC unit 334 converts the quantization coefficients supplied from the quantizer 332 into a variable length code, such as a Huffman code, in accordance with the quantization step supplied from the quantizer 332.
- the resulting converted quantization coefficients are outputted to a buffer not illustrated.
- the quantization coefficients and the quantization step are also supplied to an inverse quantizer 338 which dequantizes the quantization coefficients in accordance with the quantization step so as to convert the same to DCT coefficients.
- the DCT coefficients are supplied to the inverse DCT unit 340 which performs inverse DCT on the DCT coefficients.
- the obtained inverse DCT coefficients are then supplied to the arithmetic unit 348.
- the arithmetic unit 348 receives the inverse DCT coefficients from the inverse
- the DCT unit 340 and the data from the motion compensator 324 depending on the location of switch 344.
- the arithmetic unit 348 sums the signal (prediction residuals) from the inverse DCT unit 340 to the predicted picture from the motion compensator 324 to locally decode the original picture. However, if the prediction mode indicates intra-coding, the output of the inverse DCT unit 340 may be directly fed to the frame memory.
- the decoded picture obtained by the arithmetic unit 340 is sent to and stored in the frame memory so as to be used later as a reference picture for an inter-coded picture, forward predictive coded picture, backward predictive coded picture, or a bi-directional predictive coded picture.
- the quantization coefficients from the quantizer 332 are also applied to a modifying means 400.
- the modifying device 400 comprises a plurality of attenuation steps which can be arranged in series as illustrated in Figure 4 or in cascade or parallel as illustrated in Figure 5.
- the quantization coefficients from the quantizer 332 are applied to an attenuator 401.
- the signal is then attenuated by the attenuator 401 which results in attenuated DCT coefficients carried by a signal 407.
- a second attenuator 403 Attenuates the amplitude of the DCT coefficients carried by the signal 407 and delivers new attenuated coefficients carried by signal 413, that are variable length coded by a variable length coder 422 for generating a first base video stream BaseBaseO.
- the attenuators 401 and 403 are composed of an inverse quantizer 402 and 408, respectively, a weighting device 404 and 410, respectively, followed in series by a quantizer 406 and 412, respectively.
- the quantization coefficients from the quantizer 332 are inverse quantized by the inverse quantizer 402.
- the weighting is performed by a 8*8 weighting matrix multiplied to DCT blocks, each DCT coefficient being thus multiplied by a weighting factor contained in the matrix, the results of each multiplication being rounded to the nearest integer, weighting matrix being filled by values which amplitude are between 0 and 1 , set for example to non-uniform values close to 1 for low frequential values and close to 0 for high frequential values, or to uniform values so that all coefficients in the 8*8 DCT block are equally attenuated.
- the quantization step consists of dividing weighted DCT coefficients by a new quantization factor for delivering quantized DCT coefficients, said quantization factor being the same for all coefficients of all 8*8 blocks composing a macroblock.
- the coding error 415 relative to the attenuator 401 is generated by subtracting signal 407 from a signal from the quantizer 332 by means of a subtraction unit 414.
- the coding error 415 is then variable length coded by a variable length coder 416 for generating a base enhancement video stream BaseEnh2.
- the coding error 419 relative to the attenuator 403 is generated by subtracting a signal 413 from signal 407 by means of a subtraction unit 418.
- the coding error 419 is then variable length coded by a variable length encoder 420 for generating a second base enhancement video stream BaseEnhl.
- the minimum quality base resolution would be provided by the video stream BaseBaseO.
- the enhancement encoder 314 comprises a motion estimator 354, a motion compensator 356, a DCT circuit 368, a quantizer 370, a VLC unit 372, a bitrate controller 374, an inverse quantizer 376, an inverse DCT circuit 378, switches 366 and 382, subtracters 358 and 364, and adders 380 and 388.
- the enhancement encoder 314 may also include DC-offsets 360 and 384, adder 362 and subtractor 386. The operation of many of these components is similar to the operation of similar components in the base encoder 312 and will not be described in detail.
- the output of the arithmetic unit 340 is also supplied to the upsampler 350 which generally reconstructs the filtered out resolution from the decoded video stream and provides a video data stream having substantially the same resolution as the high-resolution input. However, because of the filtering and losses resulting from the compression and decompression, certain errors are present in the reconstructed stream.
- the errors are determined in the subtraction unit 358 by subtracting the reconstructed high-resolution stream from the original, unmodified high resolution stream. According to one embodiment of the invention illustrated in Figure 3, the original unmodified high-resolution stream is also provided to the motion estimator 354.
- the reconstructed high-resolution stream is also provided to an adder 388 which adds the output from the inverse DCT 378 (possibly modified by the output of the motion compensator 356 depending on the position of the switch 382).
- the output of the adder 388 is supplied to the motion estimator 354.
- the motion estimation is performed on the upscaled base layer plus the enhancement layer instead of the residual difference between the original high- resolution stream and the reconstructed high-resolution stream.
- This motion estimation produces motion vectors that track the actual motion better than the vectors produced by the known systems of Figures 1 and 2. This leads to a perceptually better picture quality especially for consumer applications which have lower bit rates than professional applications.
- a DC-offset operation followed by a clipping operation can be introduced into the enhancement encoder 314, wherein the DC-offset value 360 is added by adder 362 to the residual signal output from the subtraction unit 358.
- This optional DC-offset and clipping operation allows the use of existing standards, e.g., MPEG, for the enhancement encoder where the pixel values are in a predetermined range, e.g., 0...255.
- the residual signal is normally concentrated around zero.
- the concentration of samples can be shifted to the middle of the range, e.g., 128 for 8 bit video samples.
- the advantage of this addition is that the standard components of the encoder for the enhancement layer can be used and result in a cost efficient (re-use of IP blocks) solution.
- the various enhancement layer video streams are created in a similar manner as the creation of the multiple base video streams described above.
- the quantization coefficients from the quantizer 370 are also applied to the modifying device 450.
- the modifying device 450 may have the same elements as the modifying device 400 illustrated in Figure 4, and in the following description the same reference numerals will be used for like elements.
- the quantization coefficients from the quantizer 370 are applied to the attenuator 401.
- the signal is then attenuated by the attenuator 401 which results in attenuated DCT coefficients carried by a signal 407.
- a second attenuator 403 Attenuates the amplitude of the DCT coefficients carried by the signal 407 and delivers new attenuated coefficients carried by signal 413, that are variable length coded by a variable length coder 422 for generating a first enhancement video stream EnhBaseO.
- the attenuators 401 and 403 are composed of an inverse quantizer 402 and 408, respectively, a weighting device 404 and 4410, respectively, followed in series by a quantizer 406 and 412, respectively.
- the weighting is performed by a 8*8 weighting matrix multiplied to DCT blocks, each DCT coefficient being thus multiplied by a weighting factor contained in the matrix, the results of each multiplication being rounded to the nearest integer, weighting matrix being filled by values which amplitude are between 0 and 1, set for example to non-uniform values close to 1 for low frequential values and close to 0 for high frequential values, or to uniform values so that all coefficients in the 8*8 DCT block are equally attenuated.
- the quantization step consists of dividing weighted DCT coefficients by a new quantization factor for delivering quantized DCT coefficients , said quantization factor being the same for all coefficients of all 8*8 blocks composing a macroblock.
- the coding error 415 relative to the attenuator 401 is generated by subtracting signal 407 from a signal from the quantizer 370 by means of a subtraction unit 414.
- the coding error 415 is then variable length coded by a variable length coder 416 for generating a second enhancement video stream EnhEnh2.
- the coding error 419 relative to the attenuator 403 is generated by subtracting a signal 413 from signal 407 by means of a subtraction unit 418.
- the coding error 419 is then variable length coded by a variable length encoder 420 for generating a third base enhancement video stream EnhEnhl .
- the minimum quality full resolution would be provided by adding the video stream EnhBaseO to the high quality base resolution video stream.
- a medium quality full resolution would be provided by combining the video streams EnhBaseO and EnhEnhl with the high quality base resolution.
- a high quality full resolution would be provided by combining the video streams EnhBaseO, EnhEnhl and EnhEnh2 with the high quality base resolution.
- Figure 5 illustrates a modifying device wherein the attenuators are connected in cascade or parallel. It will be understood that the modifying device 500 can be used in both the base layer and the enhancement layer as a substitute for modifying devices 400 and 450.
- the quantization coefficients from the quantizer 332 (or quantizer 370) are supplied to the first attenuator 501.
- the attenuator 501 comprises an inverse quantizer 502, a weighting device 504 and a quantizer 506.
- the quantization coefficients are inverse quantized in the inverse quantizer 502, then weighted and requantized, as described above with respect to Figure 4, in the weighting device 504 and the quantizer 506.
- the attenuated DCT coefficients carried by a signal 513 are then coded in a variable length coder 514 to produce a first base (enhancement) stream.
- the coding error 517 of the attenuator 501 is generated by subtracting the signal 517 from the signal from the quantizer 332 (quantizer 370) by means of a subtraction unit 516.
- the coding error is applied to the second attenuator 503 which is comprised of an inverse quantizer 508, a weighting device 510 and a quantizer 512.
- the attenuated signal 519 is encoded by a variable length coder 520 which produces a second base(or enhancement) stream.
- the coding error 523 of the attenuator 503 is generated by subtracting the signal 519 from the signal 517 by means of a subtraction unit 522.
- the coding error 523 is encoded by a variable length coder 524 which produces a third base (enhancement) stream.
- Figure 6 illustrates a decoder according to one embodiment of the invention for decoding the multiple base or enhancement streams produced by the modifying devices.
- the multiple base (enhancement) streams are decoded by a plurality of variable length decoders 602, 604 and 606.
- the decoded streams are then added together in an arithmetic unit 608.
- the decoded quantization coefficients in the combined stream are supplied to an inverse quantizer 610 which dequantizes the quantization coefficient in accordance with the quantization step so as to convert the quantization coefficients into DCT coefficients.
- the DCT coefficients are supplied to the inverse DCT unit 612 which performs inverse DCT on the DCT coefficients.
- the obtained inverse DCT coefficients are then supplied to the arithmetic unit 614.
- the arithmetic unit 614 receives the inverse DCT coefficients from the inverse DCT unit 612 and data (produced in a known manner) from a motion compensator 616.
- the arithmetic unit 614 sums the stream from the inverse DCT unit 612 to the predicted picture from the motion compensator 616 to produce the decoded base (or enhancement) stream.
- the decoded base and enhancement streams can be combined in a known manner to create the decoded video output.
