Description

Code rate control optimization method and system by utilizing quantization parameter sequencing
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of video coding/decoding, in particular to a code rate control optimization method and a code rate control optimization system by utilizing quantization parameter sequencing.
Background
The statements in this section merely provide background information related to the present disclosure and may not constitute prior art.
Today's society is a highly digital society, and video coding technology has been widely applied to many fields, such as cable television, digital broadcasting, video conferencing, etc. In the application process, the data processing of the computer must be matched with the processing of the video information and the transmission of the network, and the audio-visual quality must be ensured to reach the acceptable range of the general level of people. In order to save transmission bandwidth and storage space, video coding technology has been the focus of scientific research. The method has the advantages that better image quality is obtained under the limits of bandwidth, time delay, cache and the like, the coded data are efficiently transmitted under the code rate, good and stable quality is guaranteed, and the code rate control is a key technology of video coding.
In inter-frame prediction, the quality of a reference frame affects the accuracy of motion search, and thus affects the code rate and quality of a current frame. In video coding, a previous frame is generally used as a reference frame for inter-frame prediction. The quality of the previous frame is determined by the qp of the previous frame. Therefore, the qp alignment order affects the encoding effect. However, the conventional rate control does not consider the influence of qp alignment on coding. Wherein, video code rate: the video code rate is the number of data bits transmitted per unit time during data transmission, and generally, the unit used is kbps, namely kilobits per second. The popular understanding is that the sampling rate is higher, the higher the sampling rate in unit time is, the higher the precision is, and the closer the processed file is to the original file. qp, the abbreviation of quant parameter, controls the quantization step size of the residual coefficients, thus affecting the code rate and quality of the encoding. Rate Control (RC): rate control is actually an optimization algorithm for coding, and is used to realize control of the size of the video stream code stream. In the same video coding format, the code stream is large, the more information the code stream contains, and the clearer the corresponding image is. Two commonly used code stream control methods at present are VBR and CBR, where VBR is a dynamic bit rate and CBR is a fixed bit rate. CBR: abbreviation of Constant Bit Rate. When Motion occurs, the code rate is constant, the size of the code word can be reduced only by increasing QP, the image quality is poor, and when the scene is static, the image quality is good, so the image quality is unstable. This algorithm prioritizes the code rate (bandwidth). VBR: abbreviation of Variable Bit Rate. The dynamic bit rate can change with the complexity of the image, so the coding efficiency is high, and the mosaic is few when the motion occurs. The code rate control algorithm determines the used bit rate according to the image content, if the image content is simpler, less code rate is distributed (the code word seems to be more appropriate), and if the image content is complex, more code words are distributed, so that the quality is ensured, and the bandwidth limitation is also considered. Such algorithms prioritize image quality. Rate Control (RC): when transmitting compression-coded video, two issues have to be considered: video quality and transmission bandwidth, if the bandwidth is large, the video with better quality is certainly transmitted as much as possible; if the bandwidth is low, the compression ratio needs to be improved, and the code stream needs to be reduced; if the bandwidth changes dynamically, the code stream also needs to change dynamically to adapt to the bandwidth, and in any case, the code stream is closely related to the bandwidth. Meanwhile, it is desirable to obtain a high-definition restored image as much as possible, so compressing the video as much as possible within an acceptable video quality range to improve the bandwidth utilization rate is essential to the rate control. The bandwidth utilization rate is improved, and the bandwidth is reduced as much as possible under the condition of keeping the video restoration definition. Inter-frame prediction: the aim of image compression is achieved by utilizing the correlation between video image frames, namely the time correlation. In image transmission technology, video images are the main objects of interest. A video image is a temporal image sequence consisting of successive image frames spaced apart in time by a frame period, which has a greater correlation in time than in space. Most of video images have little detail change between adjacent frames, namely the video images have strong correlation between frames, and the compression ratio higher than that of intra-frame coding can be obtained by using the characteristic of the correlation of the frames to carry out inter-frame coding.
In inter-frame prediction, the quality of a reference frame affects the accuracy of motion search, and thus affects the code rate and quality of a current frame. In video coding, a previous frame is generally used as a reference frame for inter-frame prediction. The quality of the previous frame is determined by the qp of the previous frame. Therefore, the qp alignment order affects the encoding effect. However, the conventional rate control does not consider the influence of qp alignment on coding.
