Problems solved by technology

The defect of this method is that since the end position of the motion vector is a specified position in the reference area, the residual error after the subtraction of the previous image to be encoded and the predicted image is usually very large, so after transform domain transformation and quantization The encoding value of is also correspondingly very large, resulting in a significant reduction in encoding efficiency

Embodiment 1

[0048] This embodiment describes the implementation process of the present invention in a video codec using a block matching algorithm.

[0049] Firstly, the block matching algorithm in motion estimation is introduced. In video coding, the current frame is divided into several non-overlapping regions, such as macroblocks. All pixels in the same macroblock are assumed to have the same displacement. Each motion estimation operation involves at least two images, the current image and the reference image. In order to describe the movement of the content of the macroblock relative to the previous image (coding order), search for blocks of the same size in the reference frame in a certain area around the same position of the macroblock of the current image, and find a block with the same size as the macroblock of the current image based on the specified matching criteria. The block closest to the block is used as the matching macroblock. The same operation is performed on all mac...

Embodiment 2

[0062] A premise in Embodiment 1 is that the location of the macroblock where the watermark information is embedded is known to both the watermark embedding unit of the encoder and the watermark extraction unit of the decoder. The following embodiment 2 will illustrate how to realize adding and extracting watermark without this premise.

[0063] On the encoder side, with Figure 7 The steps shown for adding a watermark are unchanged. However, watermarks can be embedded in any macroblock. Moreover, since the embedding position of the watermark is unknown, it is necessary to be able to include the information in the watermark, or to distinguish the macroblock embedded with the watermark from the macroblock not embedded. One method is to reduce the effective storage bit by one bit, that is, the watermark information must be selected from a location point other than the minimum error location point. The macroblock without watermark is identified by the motion vector as the mini...

Embodiment 3

[0067] The above embedding process assumes that the difference between the reconstructed image and the input image to be encoded by the encoder is negligible, that is, because the quantization error will not cause the encoder and decoder to have an impact on watermark embedding and extraction. This embodiment illustrates the watermark embedding and extraction method when the quantization error is large enough.

[0068] Quantization error is produced by the quantizer. The quantizer is used as Figure 13 The quantization steps shown represent the input data with a larger quantization step. Although the accuracy is reduced compared to the original data, the number of bits representing these data is also greatly reduced. For example, the pre-quantized numbers between 5 and 15 will be quantized to 4, so that the decimal part does not need to be encoded again. During inverse quantization, the number 4 is converted into a number between 5 and 15, for example, 10, and 10 is the inpu...

Abstract

The invention relates to a video recording medium which records video information of searching a corresponding reference region matched with a coding object region of a current image from a reference image based on an image coding technology, calculating a motion vector between the corresponding reference region and the coding object region and coding the coding object region by using an error between the corresponding reference region and the coding object region and the motion vector, wherein in the current image recorded in the video information recoding medium, for at least one or more than two special current regions in the current image, the error between the special current regions and the corresponding reference region of the reference image is not a minimum error in the errors between the special current regions and the corresponding reference region of the reference image. The video recording medium is embedded with watermark information with conceal property.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a video recording medium and a video encoding method. Background technique [0002] Modern digital encoding and storage technologies prevent the playback quality of audio and video products from being degraded due to more playback times. Because of this, digitally encoded audiovisual data can be copied and widely distributed more easily. This situation makes the property rights protection of digital media products more and more important. Watermarking technology is a kind of property right protection technology. [0003] Watermarking technology includes two types, visible and invisible, and the corresponding purposes are also different. The former can be read by normal users, but it is difficult for ordinary people to imitate, so that the unique identity of the manufacturer or owner of the entity can be identified and the identity of the genuine product can be guaranteed; the most common example is the watermark port...
