Problems solved by technology

[0003] Although HEVC has greatly improved the compression efficiency compared with H.264, it still faces two main problems: speed optimization and visual perception optimization.
[0005] At the same time, HEVC uses Rate Distortion Optimized Quantization (RDOQ) in the quantization process. Each transform coefficient has several candidate quantization values. To determine the final quantization value, it is necessary to calculate the rate distortion for each candidate value. Cost, because the cost calculation of each division mode of CU, PU, ​​and TU must be quantized in the end, so RDOQ brings a lot of time complexity to the entire encoding process

Embodiment

[0035] A. Visual Perception Threshold Calculation

[0036] Input a transformation unit TU, the encoder will perform DCT transformation (32x32, 16x16, 8x8, 4x4) according to the size of the TU, and then perform visual perception threshold calculation on the transformed coefficient block.

[0037] The model for calculating the visual perception threshold in the DCT domain usually consists of three parts: basic threshold, brightness adaptive coefficient, and texture mask.

[0038] When calculating the basic threshold, since there are four different sizes of transform blocks in HEVC, and the basic threshold of the AC coefficient is compared with the basic threshold of the DC coefficient, it is basically according to the radial distance between the position of the AC coefficient and the position of the DC coefficient. Exponential growth, so the basic threshold suitable for DCT transformation of different sizes can be designed according to the growth relationship between the positio...

Abstract

The present invention provides a quantization optimization method for high-efficiency video coding HEVC, by performing visual perception threshold calculation on a transformation unit TU to obtain the perception threshold of each transformation coefficient. In the quantization stage, candidate quantization values ​​are screened for each transform coefficient based on the threshold and the quantized values ​​are suppressed. Finally, in the TU partition mode selection stage, the visual perception information of the transform block is used to predict the partition mode of the TU. The invention does not need to make any changes to the decoder, improves the coding compression efficiency and speeds up the coding speed on the premise of maintaining the same subjective perception quality of the video.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of video coding, and in particular relates to research on a visual perception-based quantization optimization method for HEVC. Background technique [0002] With the advancement of video capture and display technology, people's demand for video quality is constantly increasing. In recent years, even Ultra High Definition (Ultra High Definition) TVs have appeared, with a resolution of 8Kx4K (7680×4320), and the amount of video data The explosive growth of , urgently needs new coding tools to improve the compression ratio. At present, the high-efficiency video coding standard HEVC formulated by the Joint Collaborative Team on Video Coding (JCT-VC) jointly established by VCEG and MPEG has a compression efficiency about 40% higher than that of H.264. [0003] Although HEVC has greatly improved the compression efficiency compared with H.264, it still faces two main problems: speed optimization and visual perception optimi...
