Abstract

The invention discloses a method for rapidly selecting multi-view video coding modes based on rate distortion sensitivity, which comprises the following steps of: (1) inputting one frame of multi-view video data; (2) selecting a reference frame of the rate distortion cost and calculating an average value of the rate distortion cost with modified quantification steps; (3) estimating the large-size inter-frame modes of a macroblock; (4) calculating the rate distortion sensitivity of the macroblock; (5) selecting the small-size inter-frame modes estimation of the macroblock; (6) selecting the intra-frame mode estimation of the macroblock; and (7) selecting the final coding mode of the macroblock. The method disclosed by the invention is applicable for selection of the multi-view video coding macroblock coding modes, and capable of reducing the whole calculating amount of the multi-view video coding and maintaining the coding rate distortion property at the same time.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of digital video coding, in particular to a fast mode selection method for multi-viewpoint video coding based on rate-distortion sensitivity. Background technique

[0002] Multiview Video (Multiview Video, MV) is the video data obtained by multiple cameras shooting the same scene from different angles of view. It can provide users with a visual experience that cannot be compared with traditional single-view video. It is an important input data for 3D TV (see A .Kubota, A.Smolic, M.Magnor, M.Tanimoto, T.Chen and C.Zhang, Multiview imaging and 3DTV, namely "Multiview image and 3D TV", IEEE Signal Processing Magazine, vol.24, no.6 , pp.10-21, Nov.2007). Since multi-viewpoint video contains video data from multiple perspectives, its data volume increases with the increase of the number of viewpoints. In order to meet the requirements for multi-view video storage and transmission, multi-view video coding (Multiview Video...
