Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to image processing, and more particularly relates to methods of biased motion vector interpolation to reduce video artifacts.
- a variety of well-known schemes, techniques, and standards have been developed for the compression and decompression of video data, as well as other types of image data.
- a common approach to video compression exploits the fact there is typically a significant amount of commonality between one frame of video and the next temporally sequential video frame.
- Such approaches may encode a first frame and then process one or more subsequent frames to generate "motion vectors" which are then transmitted in place of those subsequent frames.
- the motion vectors contain substantially less data than the frames from which they were derived so that less data traffic is generated for transmission.
- the motion vectors can be used to "reconstruct" the video data for playback.
- Video compression schemes may be used even where transmission over a communications network is not intended, such as, for example, when the compressed video is stored on CD, DVD, magnetic disk, video tape, or other such media.
- some motion vectors may be interpolated from other motion vectors, rather than being derived from their corresponding actual video data.
- Such a process provides an estimation of the motion that takes place. This estimation is typically performed by deriving a motion vector for every other block of pixels (where the blocks are typically 8 pixels x 8 pixels). Consequently, half of the motion vectors of a total picture are actually interpolated from other motion vectors, rather than being derived from the actual video data. This is done to save on computation, memory, bus bandwidth, and so on.
- an averaging, or median filtering, technique is used to generate the missing motion vectors.
- a method includes determining, for at least one block of the current frame for which a motion vector is not estimated, whether a block to the left or a block to the right of the at least one block has an estimated zero motion vector, determining whether the at least one block had an estimated zero motion vector in a previous frame, and if both determinations are affirmative, providing a predetermined motion vector for the at least one block.
- a predetermined motion vector may be a zero motion vector.
- Fig. 1 illustrates a frame of video data partitioned into blocks.
- Fig. 2 is a flow diagram illustrating a process of providing motion vectors in accordance with the present invention.
- the present invention relates to methods for estimating motion vectors in video material.
- the present invention is an improvement with respect to current interpolation algorithms for interpolating motion vectors of non-estimated regions or blocks.
- Various embodiments of the present invention provide a method of motion vector interpolation that can be used to improve the results achieved with any arbitrarily chosen interpolation algorithm.
- the skipped block receives, i.e., is assigned, a motion vector which has been interpolated from the motion vectors of the surrounding blocks having the non-zero motion vectors.
- a predetermined motion vector such as a zero motion vector, is used as the current motion vector of the skipped block.
- Pixel refers to a picture element.
- a pixel is essentially the smallest addressable unit of a display.
- One common way of representing pixels is as one or more bits of digital data.
- Block refers to a collection of pixels which is a subset of the pixels that make up a frame, or picture.
- a neighborhood refers to one or more blocks within a predetermined range of any particular block.
- the neighborhood includes, but is not limited to, the immediately adjacent blocks for a given block.
- the present invention is not limited to any particular range, or rule set, for defining which blocks are within the neighborhood of a given block.
- Skipped block refers to a block for which a motion vector is not estimated.
- a predetermined motion vector e.g., a zero motion vector
- an interpolated motion vector is assigned to, or produced for, skipped blocks.
- An estimated motion vector refers to a motion vector derived, or obtained from, the processing of pixel information.
- An interpolated motion vector refers to a motion vector derived, or obtained from, the processing of estimated motion vectors.
- a frame of video data may be represented as a two-dimensional array of pixels.
- each pixel is represented by one or more digital bits of data.
- blocks of video data are two-dimensional collections of pixels that represent subsets, or sub-arrays, of the frame of video data. These blocks may be of any particular size, although a typical block size is eight pixels by eight pixels.
- the blocks of video data may be referenced in terms of an X,Y coordinate system. In such a system, each of the blocks may be viewed as being in a row and a column.
- a row represents a series of horizontally oriented blocks, each of which would be displayed sequentially across a display screen in a raster type of display.
- a column represents a vertically oriented set of blocks.
- an N x M array of blocks is shown which illustrates the partitioning of a two-dimensional frame of video data into a collection of sub-arrays (i.e. blocks).
- arrows indicate the direction of ascending values for the X and Y coordinates.
- the illustrated frame of video data partitioned into blocks is a convenient device for working with this type of data because it corresponds to the spatial layout of a display generated from the frame of video data.
- video data may be stored in any convenient or suitable pattern, within a memory or similar storage system, and does not need to be distributed in a such memory system in the same order that the data would be displayed on a visual display.
- motion vectors are produced (i.e., estimated), for every other block of pixels, where a block is typically 8 pixels by 8 pixels. Consequently, motion vectors based on actual video data are being produced for only half of the picture data.
- the primary reason for skipping the production of motion vectors based on actual video data for half of the blocks is to reduce the requirements for computational resources.
- determining the motion vector for a block of pixels has a computational cost, and reducing the amount of computation substantially in this way, also reduces the requirement for computational resources in an electronic product, and thereby reduces the cost of that product.
- a motion estimator might estimate motion for only part of a picture, that is, only for a subset of the blocks which make up a frame of video data.
- the motion vectors belonging to the non-estimated regions or blocks are then interpolated from the estimated motion vectors of the blocks in the direct neighborhood.
- One type of problem may occur, for example, at the left side of sub-titles as the first letter might fall in a block for which a motion vector is not derived based on actual video data and therefore the motion vector for that block needs to be interpolated from its neighborhood. If the vide around the sub-title is moving, it is very likely that with state-of- the-art techniques the block containing the first letter might get a non-zero motion vector, and therefore potentially cause artifacts due to motion compensation techniques.
- Various embodiments of the present invention provide desirable results, in terms of improved visual display in video playback, particularly in terms of reduced video artifacts. This is useful for reducing such artifacts which appear in conventional systems, particularly in picture regions containing sub-titles.
- These various embodiments of the present invention may be used with any number of generic interpolation processes. In this respect, embodiments of the present invention may be readily applied to a wide variety of existing video processing systems and processes.
- a generic interpolation process is used to produce and assign motion vectors to blocks for which a motion vector was not estimated (i.e., a skipped block) in picture regions that contain only non-zero motion vectors. However, a zero motion vector is assigned to the skipped block if the estimated block on the left or right has a zero motion vector, and the estimated motion vector for the current block in the previous frame was a zero motion vector.
- MV motion vector
- X indicates a block coordinate in the x dimension (typically horizontal);
- Y indicates a block coordinate in the y dimension (typically vertical);
- n indicates the current frame of video data.
- motion vectors are estimated 202 for every other block, i.e., for half of the blocks of the current frame of video data.
- a motion vector By estimating a motion vector, it is meant that the motion vector is derived from operations performed upon the video data. In the illustrative example of Fig. 2, a quincunx sub- sampling pattern is used.
- a first block of the video data for which a motion vector was not estimated, is selected 204.
- Let the coordinates of the first selected block be referred to as (X,Y,n). More generically, the first selected block may be referred to as the current block (X,Y,n).
- a motion vector is interpolated from the neighborhood of the first selected block and assigned to that block 210.
- a determination is made 212 as to whether all the blocks which require a motion vector to be assigned have been processed. If the determination of 212 is affirmative then the current frame has been fully processed and the system is ready for the next task 216. If the determination of 212 is negative then another block for which a motion vector was not estimated in the current frame of video data is selected 214, and the process continues at 206.
- motion vectors are "assigned” to a block, "provided” to a block, or “associated” with a block. It will be understood that these terms are used somewhat interchangeably and are meant to convey the relationship between a motion vector and block which is to be reconstructed by application of the motion vector to an "initial" frame of video data.
- a plurality of frames of video data are received and processed in accordance with method illustrated in Fig. 2.
- Various embodiments of the present invention include methods and apparatus for reducing artifacts in processed video data. Such embodiments may be suitable for use in motion estimators and compensators. More particularly, various embodiments of the present invention provide improvement with respect to conventional interpolation processes used for interpolating motion vectors for non-estimated regions, or blocks.
- An advantage of some embodiments of the present invention includes a reduction in the video artifacts associated with subtitles in video processing systems that provide estimated motion vectors for only a portion of the blocks of a frame of video data, without processing any additional block, or pixel, data.
- the motion vectors associated with blocks that are further separated, spatially and/or temporally, from the current selected block are evaluated in determining whether to assign a zero motion vector to the current selected block. It is noted that such embodiments may require additional computational resources, and in particular that embodiments which utilize blocks further temporally separated from the current block generally require additional memory resources to maintain such a history.
- Other alternative embodiments may include assigning a motion vector other than the zero motion vector, i.e., a predetermined but non-zero motion vector.
- Still other alternative embodiments may include a sampling structure other than a quincunx sub-sampling pattern.
- any field alternating sampling pattern may be included in embodiments of the present invention.
- the quincunx sub-sampling pattern has been presented to illustrate the present invention.
- the present invention may be implemented as circuit-based solutions, including possible implementation on a single integrated circuit.
- various functions of circuit elements may also be implemented as processing operations in a software program.
- Such software may be employed in, for example, a digital signal processor, micro-controller, or general-purpose computer.
- the present invention can be embodied in the form of methods and apparatus for practicing those methods.
- the present invention can also be embodied in the form of program code embodied in tangible media, such as punched cards, magnetic tape, floppy disks, hard disk drives, CD-ROMs, flash memory cards, or any other machine-readable storage medium, wherein, when the program code is loaded into and executed by a machine, such as a computer, the machine becomes an apparatus for practicing the invention.
- the present invention can also be embodied in the form of program code, for example, whether stored in a storage medium, loaded into and/or executed by a machine, or transmitted over some transmission medium or carrier, such as over electrical wiring or cabling, through fiber optics, or via electromagnetic radiation, wherein, when the program code is loaded into and executed by a machine, such as a computer, the machine becomes an apparatus for practicing the invention.
- the program code segments combine with the processor to provide a unique device that operates analogously to specific logic circuits.
