视频编码(视频编码和解码)广泛用于数字视频应用,例如广播数字电视、互联网和移动网络上的视频传播、视频聊天和视频会议等实时会话应用、DVD和蓝光光盘、视频内容采集和编辑***以及可携式摄像机的安全应用。Video encoding (video encoding and decoding) is widely used in digital video applications, such as broadcast digital TV, video dissemination on the Internet and mobile networks, real-time conversation applications such as video chat and video conferencing, DVD and Blu-ray discs, video content acquisition and editing systems And security applications for camcorders.
随着1990年H.261标准中基于块的混合型视频编码方式的发展,新的视频编码技术和工具得到发展并为新的视频编码标准形成基础。其它视频编码标准包括MPEG-1视频、MPEG-2视频、ITU-T H.262/MPEG-2、ITU-T H.263、ITU-T H.264/MPEG-4第10部分高级视频编码(Advanced Video Coding,AVC)、ITU-T H.265/高效视频编码(High Efficiency Video Coding,HEVC)…以及此类标准的扩展,例如可扩展性和/或3D(three-dimensional)扩展。随着视频创建和使用变得越来越广泛,视频流量成为通信网络和数据存储的最大负担。因此大多数视频编码标准的目标之一是相较之前的标准,在不牺牲图片质量的前提下减少比特率。即使最新的HEVC可以在不牺牲图片质量的前提下比AVC大约多压缩视频一倍,仍然亟需新技术相对HEVC进一步压缩视频。With the development of block-based hybrid video coding methods in the H.261 standard in 1990, new video coding technologies and tools have been developed and formed the basis for new video coding standards. Other video coding standards include MPEG-1 video, MPEG-2 video, ITU-T H.262/MPEG-2, ITU-T H.263, ITU-T H.264/MPEG-4 Part 10 Advanced Video Coding ( Advanced Video Coding (AVC), ITU-T H.265/High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC)... and extensions of such standards, such as scalability and/or 3D (three-dimensional) extensions. As video creation and use become more and more widespread, video traffic becomes the biggest burden on communication networks and data storage. Therefore, one of the goals of most video coding standards is to reduce the bit rate without sacrificing picture quality compared to previous standards. Even though the latest HEVC can compress video about twice as much as AVC without sacrificing picture quality, there is still a need for new technologies to further compress video relative to HEVC.
在编码一帧图像时,首先将图像划分为等大小的图像块,称为最大编码单元(Largest Coding Unit,LCU),再对一个LCU进行递归的划分操作,可以得到一个或多个编码单元(Coding Unit,CU)。LCU的形状有两种,128×128或64×64。现有编码标准在四叉树(Quad-Tree,QT)划分的基础上,增加了二叉树(Binary Tree,BT)划分方式(包括水平二分(Horizontal Binary Tree,HBT)和竖直二分(Vertical Binary Tree,VBT))和扩展四叉树(Extended Quad Tree,EQT)划分方式(包括水平扩展四分(Horizontal Extended Quad Tree,HEQT)和竖直扩展四分(Vertical Extended Quad Tree,VEQT))。When encoding a frame of image, first divide the image into equal-sized image blocks, called the largest coding unit (Largest Coding Unit, LCU), and then recursively divide an LCU to obtain one or more coding units ( Coding Unit, CU). There are two LCU shapes, 128×128 or 64×64. On the basis of the quad-tree (QT) division, the existing coding standards add a binary tree (BT) division method (including horizontal binary (Horizontal Binary Tree, HBT) and vertical binary (Vertical Binary Tree) , VBT) and Extended Quad Tree (EQT) division methods (including Horizontal Extended Extended Tree (HEQT) and Vertical Extended Extended Tree (VEQT)).
但是,在视频编码过程中若要确定一个图像块的划分方式,需要先计算多种划分方式对应的率失真代价(rate distortion cost,RD cost),比较各个率失真代价后才能确定该图像块的最优划分方式,导致视频编码的计算复杂度过高。However, to determine the division method of an image block during the video encoding process, it is necessary to calculate the rate distortion cost (RD cost) corresponding to multiple division methods first, and then compare the rate distortion cost to determine the image block's cost. The optimal partitioning method leads to too high computational complexity of video encoding.

The terms used in the embodiment of the present invention are only used to explain specific examples of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. The following briefly introduces some concepts that may be involved in the embodiments of the present application.
视频编码通常是指处理形成视频或视频序列的图片序列。在视频编码领域,术语“图片(picture)”、“帧(frame)”或“图像(image)”可以用作同义词。本文中使用的视频编码表示视频编码或视频解码。视频编码在源侧执行,通常包括处理(例如,通过压缩)原始视频图片以减少表示该视频图片所需的数据量,从而更高效地存储和/或传输。视频解码在目的地侧执行,通常包括相对于编码器作逆处理,以重构视频图片。实施例涉及的视频图片“编码”应理解为涉及视频序列的“编码”或“解码”。编码部分和解码部分的组合也称为编解码(编码和解码)。Video coding generally refers to processing a sequence of pictures that form a video or video sequence. In the field of video coding, the terms "picture", "frame" or "image" may be used as synonyms. Video coding as used herein means video coding or video decoding. Video encoding is performed on the source side, and usually includes processing (eg, by compressing) the original video picture to reduce the amount of data required to represent the video picture, thereby storing and/or transmitting more efficiently. Video decoding is performed on the destination side and usually involves inverse processing relative to the encoder to reconstruct the video picture. The “encoding” of video pictures involved in the embodiments should be understood as referring to the “encoding” or “decoding” of video sequences. The combination of the encoding part and the decoding part is also called codec (encoding and decoding).
视频序列包括一系列图像(picture),图像被进一步划分为切片(slice),切片再被划分为块(block)。视频编码以块为单位进行编码处理,在一些新的视频编码标准中,块的概念被进一步扩展。比如,在H.264标准中有宏块(macroblock,MB),宏块可进一步划分成多个可用于预测编码的预测块(partition)。在高性能视频编码(high efficiency video coding,HEVC)标准中,采用编码单元(coding unit,CU),预测单元(prediction unit,PU)和变换单元(transform unit,TU)等基本概念,从功能上划分了多种块单元,并采用全新的基于树结构进行描述。比如视频编码标准把一帧图像分割成互不重叠的编码树单元(Coding Tree Unit,CTU),再把一个CTU划分为若干个子节点,这些子节点可以按照四叉树(Quad Tree,QT)进行划分为更小的子节点,而更小的子节点还可以继续划分,从而形成一种四叉树结构。如果节点不再划分,则叫做CU。CU是对编码图像进行划分和编码的基本单元。对于PU和TU也有类似的树结构,PU可以对应预测块,是预测编码的基本单元。对CU按照划分模式进一步划分成多个PU。TU可以对应变换块,是对预测残差进行变换的基本单元。然而,无论CU,PU还是TU,本质上都属于块(或称图像块)的概念。The video sequence includes a series of pictures, which are further divided into slices, and the slices are further divided into blocks. Video coding is performed in units of blocks. In some new video coding standards, the concept of blocks is further expanded. For example, in the H.264 standard, there is a macroblock (macroblock, MB), which can be further divided into multiple prediction blocks that can be used for predictive coding. In the high-efficiency video coding (HEVC) standard, basic concepts such as coding unit (CU), prediction unit (PU) and transform unit (TU) are adopted. A variety of block units are divided, and a new tree-based structure is used for description. For example, the video coding standard divides a frame of image into non-overlapping coding tree units (Coding Tree Unit, CTU), and then divides a CTU into several sub-nodes. These sub-nodes can be processed according to a quad tree (QT) It is divided into smaller child nodes, and the smaller child nodes can continue to be divided to form a quadtree structure. If the node is no longer divided, it is called CU. The CU is the basic unit for dividing and coding the coded image. There is a similar tree structure for PU and TU. PU can correspond to the prediction block and is the basic unit of predictive coding. The CU is further divided into multiple PUs according to the division mode. The TU can correspond to the transform block and is the basic unit for transforming the prediction residual. However, regardless of CU, PU or TU, they all belong to the concept of block (or image block) in essence.
例如在HEVC中,通过使用表示为编码树的四叉树结构将CTU拆分为多个CU。在CU层级处作出是否使用图片间(时间)或图片内(空间)预测对图片区域进行编码的决策。每个CU可以根据PU拆分类型进一步拆分为一个、两个或四个PU。一个PU内应用相同的预测过程,并在PU基础上将相关信息传输到解码器。在通过基于PU拆分类型应 用预测过程获取残差块之后,可以根据类似于用于CU的编码树的其它四叉树结构将CU分割TU。在视频压缩技术最新的发展中,使用四叉树和二叉树(Quad-tree and binary tree,QTBT)分割帧来分割编码块。在QTBT块结构中,CU可以为正方形或矩形形状。For example, in HEVC, the CTU is split into multiple CUs by using a quadtree structure represented as a coding tree. A decision is made at the CU level whether to use inter-picture (temporal) or intra-picture (spatial) prediction to encode picture regions. Each CU can be further split into one, two, or four PUs according to the PU split type. The same prediction process is applied within a PU, and related information is transmitted to the decoder on the basis of the PU. After obtaining the residual block by applying the prediction process based on the PU split type, the CU may be divided into TUs according to other quadtree structures similar to the coding tree used for the CU. In the latest development of video compression technology, quad-tree and binary-tree (Quad-tree and binary tree, QTBT) split frames are used to split the coding blocks. In the QTBT block structure, the CU may have a square or rectangular shape.
本文中,为了便于描述和理解,可将当前编码图像中待编码的图像块称为当前块,例如在编码中,指当前正在编码的块;在解码中,指当前正在解码的块。将参考图像中用于对当前块进行预测的已解码的图像块称为参考块,即参考块是为当前块提供参考信号的块,其中,参考信号表示图像块内的像素值。可将参考图像中为当前块提供预测信号的块为预测块,其中,预测信号表示预测块内的像素值或者采样值或者采样信号。例如,在遍历多个参考块以后,找到了最佳参考块,此最佳参考块将为当前块提供预测,此块称为预测块。Here, for ease of description and understanding, the image block to be encoded in the current encoded image may be referred to as the current block. For example, in encoding, it refers to the block currently being encoded; in decoding, it refers to the block currently being decoded. The decoded image block used to predict the current block in the reference image is referred to as a reference block, that is, the reference block is a block that provides a reference signal for the current block, where the reference signal represents a pixel value within the image block. The block in the reference image that provides the prediction signal for the current block may be a prediction block, where the prediction signal represents a pixel value or a sample value or a sample signal within the prediction block. For example, after traversing multiple reference blocks, the best reference block is found. This best reference block will provide a prediction for the current block. This block is called a prediction block.
无损视频编码情况下,可以重构原始视频图片,即经重构视频图片具有与原始视频图片相同的质量(假设存储或传输期间没有传输损耗或其它数据丢失)。在有损视频编码情况下,通过例如量化执行进一步压缩,来减少表示视频图片所需的数据量,而解码器侧无法完全重构视频图片,即经重构视频图片的质量相比原始视频图片的质量较低或较差。In the case of lossless video coding, the original video picture can be reconstructed, that is, the reconstructed video picture has the same quality as the original video picture (assuming no transmission loss or other data loss during storage or transmission). In the case of lossy video encoding, further compression is performed by, for example, quantization to reduce the amount of data required to represent the video picture, but the decoder side cannot fully reconstruct the video picture, that is, the quality of the reconstructed video picture is better than the original video picture. The quality is lower or worse.
H.261的几个视频编码标准属于“有损混合型视频编解码”(即,将样本域中的空间和时间预测与变换域中用于应用量化的2D变换编码结合)。视频序列的每个图片通常分割成不重叠的块集合,通常在块层级上进行编码。换句话说,编码器侧通常在块(视频块)层级处理亦即编码视频,例如,通过空间(图片内)预测和时间(图片间)预测来产生预测块,从当前块(当前处理或待处理的块)减去预测块以获取残差块,在变换域变换残差块并量化残差块,以减少待传输(压缩)的数据量,而解码器侧将相对于编码器的逆处理部分应用于经编码或经压缩块,以重构用于表示的当前块。另外,编码器复制解码器处理循环,使得编码器和解码器生成相同的预测(例如帧内预测和帧间预测)和/或重构,用于处理亦即编码后续块。Several video coding standards of H.261 belong to "lossy hybrid video codec" (ie, combining spatial and temporal prediction in the sample domain with 2D transform coding for applying quantization in the transform domain). Each picture of a video sequence is usually divided into non-overlapping block sets, which are usually encoded at the block level. In other words, the encoder side usually processes the encoded video at the block (video block) level. For example, the prediction block is generated by spatial (intra-picture) prediction and temporal (inter-picture) prediction. From the current block (current processing or pending) Processed block) subtract the prediction block to obtain the residual block, transform the residual block in the transform domain and quantize the residual block to reduce the amount of data to be transmitted (compressed), and the decoder side will perform inverse processing relative to the encoder Partially applied to coded or compressed blocks to reconstruct the current block for representation. In addition, the encoder duplicates the decoder processing loop so that the encoder and decoder generate the same prediction (eg, intra prediction and inter prediction) and/or reconstruction for processing, ie, encoding subsequent blocks.

其中,图片可以视为像素点(picture element)的二维阵列或矩阵。阵列中的像素点也可以称为采样点。阵列或图片在水平和垂直方向(或轴线)上的采样点数目定义图片的尺寸和/或分辨率。为了表示颜色,通常采用三个颜色分量,即图片可以表示为或包含三个采样阵列。例如在RBG格式或颜色空间中,图片包括对应的红色、绿色及蓝色采样阵列。但是,在视频编码中,每个像素通常以亮度/色度格式或颜色空间表示,例如对于YUV格式的图片,包括Y指示的亮度分量(有时也可以用L指示)以及U和V指示的两个色度分量。亮度(luma)分量Y表示亮度或灰度水平强度(例如,在灰度等级图片中两者相同),而两个色度(chroma)分量U和V表示色度或颜色信息分量。相应地,YUV格式的图片包括亮度采样值(Y)的亮度采样阵列,和色度值(U和V)的两个色度采样阵列。RGB格式的图片可以转换或变换为YUV格式,反之亦然,该过程也称为色彩变换或转换。如 果图片是黑白的,该图片可以只包括亮度采样阵列。本申请实施例中,由图片源16传输至图片处理器的图片也可称为原始图片数据17。The picture can be regarded as a two-dimensional array or matrix of picture elements. The pixels in the array can also be called sampling points. The number of sampling points in the horizontal and vertical directions (or axes) of the array or picture defines the size and/or resolution of the picture. In order to represent colors, three color components are usually used, that is, a picture can be represented or contain three sampling arrays. For example, in the RBG format or color space, the picture includes corresponding red, green, and blue sampling arrays. However, in video coding, each pixel is usually expressed in a luminance/chrominance format or color space. For example, for a picture in YUV format, it includes the luminance component indicated by Y (sometimes also indicated by L) and the two indicated by U and V. Chroma components. The luma component Y represents luminance or gray-scale horizontal intensity (for example, both are the same in gray-scale pictures), and the two chroma components U and V represent chroma or color information components. Accordingly, the picture in the YUV format includes a luminance sampling array of luminance sampling values (Y), and two chrominance sampling arrays of chrominance values (U and V). RGB format pictures can be converted or transformed into YUV format and vice versa, this process is also called color transformation or conversion.

残差计算单元204用于基于图片图像块203和预测块265(下文提供预测块265的其它细节)计算残差块205,例如,通过逐样本(逐像素)将图片图像块203的样本值减去预测块265的样本值,以在样本域中获取残差块205。The residual calculation unit 204 is used to calculate the residual block 205 based on the picture image block 203 and the prediction block 265 (other details of the prediction block 265 are provided below), for example, by subtracting the sample value of the picture image block 203 sample by sample (pixel by pixel) The sample values of the block 265 are depredicted to obtain the residual block 205 in the sample domain.
变换处理单元206用于在残差块205的样本值上应用例如离散余弦变换(discrete cosine transform,DCT)或离散正弦变换(discrete sine transform,DST)的变换,以在变换域中获取变换系数207。变换系数207也可以称为变换残差系数,并在变换域中表示残差块205。The transform processing unit 206 is used to apply a transform such as discrete cosine transform (DCT) or discrete sine transform (DST) on the sample values of the residual block 205 to obtain transform coefficients 207 in the transform domain . The transform coefficient 207 may also be called a transform residual coefficient, and represents a residual block 205 in the transform domain.
变换处理单元206可以用于应用DCT/DST的整数近似值,例如为HEVC/H.265指定的变换。与正交DCT变换相比,这种整数近似值通常由某一因子按比例缩放。为了维持经正变换和逆变换处理的残差块的范数,应用额外比例缩放因子作为变换过程的一部分。比例缩放因子通常是基于某些约束条件选择的,例如,比例缩放因子是用于移位运算的2的幂、变换系数的位深度、准确性和实施成本之间的权衡等。例如,在解码器30侧通过例如逆变换处理单元212为逆变换(以及在编码器20侧通过例如逆变换处理单元212为对应逆变换)指定具体比例缩放因子,以及相应地,可以在编码器20侧通过变换处理单元206为正变换指定对应比例缩放因子。The transform processing unit 206 may be used to apply integer approximations of DCT/DST, such as the transform specified by HEVC/H.265. Compared with the orthogonal DCT transform, this integer approximation is usually scaled by a factor. In order to maintain the norm of the residual block processed by the forward and inverse transform, an additional scaling factor is applied as part of the transform process. The scaling factor is usually selected based on certain constraints. For example, the scaling factor is a power of two used for the shift operation, the bit depth of the transform coefficient, the accuracy, and the trade-off between implementation cost, and so on. For example, a specific scaling factor can be specified for the inverse transform by the inverse transform processing unit 212 on the decoder 30 side (and corresponding inverse transform by the inverse transform processing unit 212 on the encoder 20 side), and accordingly, the encoder can be The 20 side specifies a corresponding scaling factor for the positive transform through the transform processing unit 206.
量化单元208用于例如通过应用标量量化或向量量化来量化变换系数207,以获取经量化变换系数209。经量化变换系数209也可以称为经量化残差系数209。量化过程可以 减少与部分或全部变换系数207有关的位深度。例如,可在量化期间将n位变换系数向下舍入到m位变换系数,其中n大于m。可通过调整量化参数(quantization parameter,QP)修改量化程度。例如,对于标量量化,可以应用不同的标度来实现较细或较粗的量化。较小量化步长对应较细量化,而较大量化步长对应较粗量化。可以通过量化参数(quantization parameter,QP)指示合适的量化步长。例如,量化参数可以为合适的量化步长的预定义集合的索引。例如,较小的量化参数可以对应精细量化(较小量化步长),较大量化参数可以对应粗糙量化(较大量化步长),反之亦然。量化可以包含除以量化步长以及例如通过逆量化210执行的对应的量化或逆量化,或者可以包含乘以量化步长。根据例如HEVC的一些标准的实施例可以使用量化参数来确定量化步长。一般而言,可以基于量化参数使用包含除法的等式的定点近似来计算量化步长。可以引入额外比例缩放因子来进行量化和反量化,以恢复可能由于在用于量化步长和量化参数的等式的定点近似中使用的标度而修改的残差块的范数。在一个实例实施方式中,可以合并逆变换和反量化的标度。或者,可以使用自定义量化表并在例如比特流中将其从编码器通过信号发送到解码器。量化是有损操作,其中量化步长越大,损耗越大。The quantization unit 208 is used to quantize the transform coefficient 207 by, for example, applying scalar quantization or vector quantization to obtain the quantized transform coefficient 209. The quantized transform coefficient 209 may also be referred to as a quantized residual coefficient 209. The quantization process can reduce the bit depth associated with some or all of the transform coefficients 207. For example, n-bit transform coefficients can be rounded down to m-bit transform coefficients during quantization, where n is greater than m. The degree of quantization can be modified by adjusting quantization parameters (QP). For example, for scalar quantization, different scales can be applied to achieve thinner or coarser quantization. A smaller quantization step size corresponds to a finer quantization, and a larger quantization step size corresponds to a coarser quantization. A suitable quantization step size can be indicated by a quantization parameter (QP). For example, the quantization parameter may be an index of a predefined set of suitable quantization steps. For example, smaller quantization parameters may correspond to fine quantization (smaller quantization step size), larger quantization parameters may correspond to coarse quantization (larger quantization step size), and vice versa. The quantization may include dividing by the quantization step size and the corresponding quantization or inverse quantization performed by, for example, inverse quantization 210, or may include multiplying the quantization step size. Embodiments according to some standards such as HEVC may use quantization parameters to determine the quantization step size. Generally speaking, the quantization step size can be calculated based on the quantization parameter using a fixed-point approximation including an equation of division. Additional scaling factors can be introduced for quantization and inverse quantization to restore the norm of the residual block that may be modified due to the scale used in fixed-point approximation of the equations for quantization step size and quantization parameter. In an example embodiment, the scale of inverse transform and inverse quantization may be combined. Alternatively, a custom quantization table can be used and signaled from the encoder to the decoder in the bitstream, for example. Quantization is a lossy operation, where the larger the quantization step, the greater the loss.
逆量化单元210用于在经量化系数上应用量化单元208的逆量化,以获取经反量化系数211,例如,基于或使用与量化单元208相同的量化步长,应用量化单元208应用的量化方案的逆量化方案。经反量化系数211也可以称为经反量化残差系数211,对应于变换系数207,虽然由于量化造成的损耗通常与变换系数不相同。The inverse quantization unit 210 is used to apply the inverse quantization of the quantization unit 208 on the quantized coefficients to obtain the inverse quantization coefficients 211, for example, based on or using the same quantization step size as the quantization unit 208, apply the quantization scheme applied by the quantization unit 208 Inverse quantization scheme. The inverse quantized coefficient 211 may also be referred to as an inverse quantized residual coefficient 211, which corresponds to the transform coefficient 207, although the loss due to quantization is usually not the same as the transform coefficient.
逆变换处理单元212用于应用变换处理单元206应用的变换的逆变换,例如,逆离散余弦变换(discrete cosine transform,DCT)或逆离散正弦变换(discrete sine transform,DST),以在样本域中获取逆变换块213。逆变换块213也可以称为逆变换经反量化块213或逆变换残差块213。The inverse transform processing unit 212 is used to apply the inverse transform of the transform applied by the transform processing unit 206, for example, an inverse discrete cosine transform (DCT) or an inverse discrete sine transform (DST), in the sample domain The inverse transform block 213 is obtained. The inverse transform block 213 may also be referred to as an inverse transform dequantized block 213 or an inverse transform residual block 213.
重构单元214(例如,求和器214)用于将逆变换块213(即经重构残差块213)添加至预测块265,以在样本域中获取经重构块215,例如,将经重构残差块213的样本值与预测块265的样本值相加。The reconstruction unit 214 (eg, summer 214) is used to add the inverse transform block 213 (ie, the reconstructed residual block 213) to the prediction block 265 to obtain the reconstructed block 215 in the sample domain, for example, The sample values of the reconstructed residual block 213 and the sample values of the prediction block 265 are added.
可选地,例如线缓冲器216的缓冲器单元216(或简称“缓冲器”216)用于缓冲或存储经重构块215和对应的样本值,用于例如帧内预测。在其它的实施例中,编码器可以用于使用存储在缓冲器单元216中的未经滤波的经重构块和/或对应的样本值来进行任何类别的估计和/或预测,例如帧内预测。Optionally, a buffer unit 216 (or simply "buffer" 216), such as a line buffer 216, is used to buffer or store the reconstructed block 215 and corresponding sample values for, for example, intra prediction. In other embodiments, the encoder may be used to use the unfiltered reconstructed blocks and/or corresponding sample values stored in the buffer unit 216 for any type of estimation and/or prediction, such as intra prediction.

Other embodiments may be used to use the filtered block 221 and/or blocks or samples from the decoded picture buffer 230 (neither shown in FIG. 2) as an input or basis for intra prediction 254.
环路滤波器单元220(或简称“环路滤波器”220)用于对经重构块215进行滤波以获取经滤波块221,从而顺利进行像素转变或提高视频质量。环路滤波器单元220旨在表示一个或多个环路滤波器,例如去块滤波器、样本自适应偏移(sample-adaptive offset,SAO)滤波器或其它滤波器,例如双边滤波器、自适应环路滤波器(adaptive loop filter,ALF),或锐化或平滑滤波器,或协同滤波器。尽管环路滤波器单元220在图2中示出为环内滤波 器,但在其它配置中,环路滤波器单元220可实施为环后滤波器。经滤波块221也可以称为经滤波的经重构块221。经解码图片缓冲器230可以在环路滤波器单元220对经重构编码块执行滤波操作之后存储经重构编码块。The loop filter unit 220 (or simply "loop filter" 220) is used to filter the reconstructed block 215 to obtain the filtered block 221, so as to smoothly perform pixel conversion or improve video quality. The loop filter unit 220 is intended to represent one or more loop filters, such as deblocking filters, sample-adaptive offset (SAO) filters, or other filters, such as bilateral filters, Adaptive loop filter (adaptive loop filter, ALF), or sharpening or smoothing filter, or collaborative filter. Although the loop filter unit 220 is shown as an in-loop filter in FIG. 2, in other configurations, the loop filter unit 220 may be implemented as a post-loop filter. The filtered block 221 may also be referred to as the filtered reconstructed block 221. The decoded picture buffer 230 may store the reconstructed encoding block after the loop filter unit 220 performs a filtering operation on the reconstructed encoding block.
编码器20(对应地,环路滤波器单元220)的实施例可以用于输出环路滤波器参数(例如,样本自适应偏移信息),例如,直接输出或由熵编码单元270或任何其它熵编码单元熵编码后输出,例如使得解码器30可以接收并应用相同的环路滤波器参数用于解码。Embodiments of the encoder 20 (correspondingly, the loop filter unit 220) may be used to output loop filter parameters (eg, sample adaptive offset information), for example, directly output or by the entropy encoding unit 270 or any other The entropy encoding unit outputs after entropy encoding, for example, so that the decoder 30 can receive and apply the same loop filter parameters for decoding.
经解码图片缓冲器(decoded picture buffer,DPB)230可以为存储参考图片数据供编码器20编码视频数据之用的参考图片存储器。DPB 230可由多种存储器设备中的任一个形成,例如动态随机存储器(dynamic random access memory,DRAM)(包含同步DRAM(synchronous DRAM,SDRAM)、磁阻式RAM(magnetoresistive RAM,MRAM)、电阻式RAM(resistive RAM,RRAM))或其它类型的存储器设备。可以由同一存储器设备或单独的存储器设备提供DPB 230和缓冲器216。在某一实例中,经解码图片缓冲器(decoded picture buffer,DPB)230用于存储经滤波块221。经解码图片缓冲器230可以进一步用于存储同一当前图片或例如先前经重构图片的不同图片的其它先前的经滤波块,例如先前经重构和经滤波块221,以及可以提供完整的先前经重构亦即经解码图片(和对应参考块和样本)和/或部分经重构当前图片(和对应参考块和样本),例如用于帧间预测。在某一实例中,如果经重构块215无需环内滤波而得以重构,则经解码图片缓冲器(decoded picture buffer,DPB)230用于存储经重构块215。The decoded picture buffer (decoded picture buffer, DPB) 230 may be a reference picture memory for storing reference picture data for the encoder 20 to encode video data. DPB 230 can be formed by any of a variety of memory devices, such as dynamic random access memory (dynamic random access memory, DRAM) (including synchronous DRAM (synchronous DRAM, SDRAM), magnetoresistive RAM (magnetoresistive RAM, MRAM), resistive RAM (resistive RAM, RRAM)) or other types of memory devices. The DPB 230 and the buffer 216 may be provided by the same memory device or separate memory devices. In a certain example, a decoded picture buffer (DPB) 230 is used to store the filtered block 221. The decoded picture buffer 230 may be further used to store other previous filtered blocks of the same current picture or different pictures such as previous reconstructed pictures, such as the previously reconstructed and filtered block 221, and may provide the complete previous The reconstructed ie decoded pictures (and corresponding reference blocks and samples) and/or partially reconstructed current pictures (and corresponding reference blocks and samples), for example for inter prediction.

模式选择单元262的实施例可以用于选择预测模式(例如,从预测处理单元260所支持的那些预测模式中选择),所述预测模式提供最佳匹配或者说最小残差(最小残差意味着传输或存储中更好的压缩),或提供最小信令开销(最小信令开销意味着传输或存储中更好的压缩),或同时考虑或平衡以上两者。模式选择单元262可以用于基于码率失真优化(rate distortion optimization,RDO)确定预测模式,即选择提供最小码率失真优化的预测模式,或选择相关码率失真至少满足预测模式选择标准的预测模式。An embodiment of the mode selection unit 262 may be used to select a prediction mode (for example, from those prediction modes supported by the prediction processing unit 260), which provides the best match or the minimum residual (the minimum residual means Better compression in transmission or storage), or provide minimum signaling overhead (minimum signaling overhead means better compression in transmission or storage), or consider or balance both at the same time. The mode selection unit 262 may be used to determine a prediction mode based on rate distortion optimization (RDO), that is, to select a prediction mode that provides minimum bit rate distortion optimization, or to select a prediction mode in which the related bit rate distortion at least meets the prediction mode selection criteria .
下文将详细解释编码器20的实例(例如,通过预测处理单元260)执行的预测处理和(例如,通过模式选择单元262)执行的模式选择。The prediction process performed by the example of the encoder 20 (for example, by the prediction processing unit 260) and the mode selection (for example, by the mode selection unit 262) will be explained in detail below.
如上文所述,编码器20用于从(预先确定的)预测模式集合中确定或选择最好或最优的预测模式。预测模式集合可以包括例如帧内预测模式和/或帧间预测模式。As described above, the encoder 20 is used to determine or select the best or optimal prediction mode from the (predetermined) prediction mode set. The set of prediction modes may include, for example, intra prediction modes and/or inter prediction modes.
帧内预测模式集合可以包括35种不同的帧内预测模式,例如,如DC(或均值)模式和平面模式的非方向性模式,或如H.265中定义的方向性模式,或者可以包括67种不同的帧内预测模式,例如,如DC(或均值)模式和平面模式的非方向性模式,或如正在发展中的H.266中定义的方向性模式。The intra prediction mode set may include 35 different intra prediction modes, for example, non-directional modes such as DC (or mean) mode and planar mode, or directional modes as defined in H.265, or may include 67 Different intra prediction modes, for example, non-directional modes such as DC (or mean) mode and planar mode, or directional modes as defined in the developing H.266.
在可能的实现中,帧间预测模式集合取决于可用参考图片(即,例如前述存储在DBP230中的至少部分经解码图片)和其它帧间预测参数,例如取决于是否使用整个参考图片或只使用参考图片的一部分,例如围绕当前块的区域的搜索窗区域,来搜索最佳匹配参考块,和/或例如取决于是否应用如半像素和/或四分之一像素内插的像素内插,帧间预测模式集合例如可包括先进运动矢量(Advanced Motion Vector Prediction,AMVP)模式和融合(merge)模式。具体实施中,帧间预测模式集合可包括本申请实施例改进的基于控制点的AMVP模式,以及,改进的基于控制点的merge模式。在一个实例中,帧内预测单元254可以用于执行下文描述的帧间预测技术的任意组合。In a possible implementation, the set of inter-prediction modes depends on the available reference pictures (ie, for example, the aforementioned at least partially decoded pictures stored in DBP 230) and other inter-prediction parameters, such as whether the entire reference picture is used or only used A part of the reference picture, for example a search window area surrounding the area of the current block, to search for the best matching reference block, and/or for example depending on whether pixel interpolation such as half-pixel and/or quarter-pixel interpolation is applied, The set of inter prediction modes may include, for example, advanced motion vector (Advanced Motion Vector Prediction, AMVP) mode and merge mode. In a specific implementation, the set of inter prediction modes may include an improved control point-based AMVP mode according to an embodiment of the present application, and an improved control point-based merge mode. In one example, the intra prediction unit 254 may be used to perform any combination of inter prediction techniques described below.
除了以上预测模式,本申请实施例也可以应用跳过模式和/或直接模式。In addition to the above prediction modes, the embodiments of the present application may also apply skip mode and/or direct mode.
预测处理单元260可以进一步用于将图像块203分割成较小的块分区或子块,例如,通过迭代使用四叉树(quad-tree,QT)分割、二进制树(binary-tree,BT)分割或三叉树(triple-tree,TT)分割,或其任何组合,以及用于例如为块分区或子块中的每一个执行预测,其中模式选择包括选择分割的图像块203的树结构和选择应用于块分区或子块中的每一个的预测模式。The prediction processing unit 260 may be further used to split the image block 203 into smaller block partitions or sub-blocks, for example, iteratively using quad-tree (QT) segmentation, binary-tree (BT) segmentation Or triple-tree (TT) partitioning, or any combination thereof, and for performing prediction for each of block partitions or sub-blocks, for example, where mode selection includes selecting the tree structure of the divided image block 203 and selecting the application The prediction mode for each of the block partitions or sub-blocks.
帧间预测单元244可以包含运动估计(motion estimation,ME)单元(图2中未示出)和运动补偿(motion compensation,MC)单元(图2中未示出)。运动估计单元用于接收或获取图片图像块203(当前图片201的当前图片图像块203)和经解码图片231,或至少一个或多个先前经重构块,例如,一个或多个其它/不同先前经解码图片231的经重构块,来进行运动估计。例如,视频序列可以包括当前图片和先前经解码图片31,或换句话说,当前图片和先前经解码图片31可以是形成视频序列的图片序列的一部分,或者形成该图片序列。The inter prediction unit 244 may include a motion estimation (ME) unit (not shown in FIG. 2) and a motion compensation (MC) unit (not shown in FIG. 2). The motion estimation unit is used to receive or acquire a picture image block 203 (current picture image block 203 of the current picture 201) and a decoded picture 231, or at least one or more previously reconstructed blocks, for example, one or more other/different The reconstructed block of the previously decoded picture 231 is used for motion estimation. For example, the video sequence may include the current picture and the previously decoded picture 31, or in other words, the current picture and the previously decoded picture 31 may be part of the picture sequence forming the video sequence, or form the picture sequence.
例如,编码器20可以用于从多个其它图片中的同一或不同图片的多个参考块中选择参考块,并向运动估计单元(图2中未示出)提供参考图片和/或提供参考块的位置(X、Y坐标)与当前块的位置之间的偏移(空间偏移)作为帧间预测参数。该偏移也称为运动向量(motion vector,MV)。For example, the encoder 20 may be used to select a reference block from multiple reference blocks of the same or different pictures in multiple other pictures, and provide a reference picture and/or provide a reference to a motion estimation unit (not shown in FIG. 2) The offset (spatial offset) between the position of the block (X, Y coordinates) and the position of the current block is used as an inter prediction parameter. This offset is also called a motion vector (MV).

The motion compensation performed by the motion compensation unit (not shown in FIG. 2) may include extracting or generating a prediction block based on a motion/block vector determined by motion estimation (possibly performing interpolation of sub-pixel accuracy). Interpolation filtering can generate additional pixel samples from known pixel samples, potentially increasing the number of candidate prediction blocks that can be used to encode picture blocks. Once the motion vector for the PU of the current picture block is received, the motion compensation unit 246 may locate the prediction block pointed to by the motion vector in a reference picture list. Motion compensation unit 246 may also generate syntax elements associated with blocks and video slices for use by decoder 30 when decoding picture blocks of video slices.
具体的,上述帧间预测单元244可向熵编码单元270传输语法元素,所述语法元素包括帧间预测参数(比如遍历多个帧间预测模式后选择用于当前块预测的帧间预测模式的指示信息)。可能应用场景中,如果帧间预测模式只有一种,那么也可以不在语法元素中携带帧间预测参数,此时解码端30可直接使用默认的预测模式进行解码。可以理解的,帧间预测单元244可以用于执行帧间预测技术的任意组合。Specifically, the above inter prediction unit 244 may transmit a syntax element to the entropy encoding unit 270, where the syntax element includes inter prediction parameters (such as an inter prediction mode selected for the current block prediction after traversing multiple inter prediction modes Instructions). In a possible application scenario, if there is only one inter prediction mode, the inter prediction parameters may not be carried in the syntax element. In this case, the decoding terminal 30 may directly use the default prediction mode for decoding. It can be understood that the inter prediction unit 244 may be used to perform any combination of inter prediction techniques.
帧内预测单元254用于获取,例如接收同一图片的图片块203(当前图片块)和一个或多个先前经重构块,例如经重构相相邻块,以进行帧内估计。例如,编码器20可以用 于从多个(预定)帧内预测模式中选择帧内预测模式。The intra prediction unit 254 is used to acquire, for example, a picture block 203 (current picture block) that receives the same picture and one or more previously reconstructed blocks, such as reconstructed neighboring blocks, for intra estimation. For example, the encoder 20 may be used to select an intra prediction mode from a plurality of (predetermined) intra prediction modes.
编码器20的实施例可以用于基于优化标准选择帧内预测模式,例如基于最小残差(例如,提供最类似于当前图片块203的预测块255的帧内预测模式)或最小码率失真。Embodiments of the encoder 20 may be used to select an intra prediction mode based on optimization criteria, for example, based on a minimum residual (eg, an intra prediction mode that provides the prediction block 255 most similar to the current picture block 203) or minimum rate distortion.
帧内预测单元254进一步用于基于如所选择的帧内预测模式的帧内预测参数确定帧内预测块255。在任何情况下,在选择用于块的帧内预测模式之后,帧内预测单元254还用于向熵编码单元270提供帧内预测参数,即提供指示所选择的用于块的帧内预测模式的信息。在一个实例中,帧内预测单元254可以用于执行帧内预测技术的任意组合。The intra prediction unit 254 is further used to determine the intra prediction block 255 based on the intra prediction parameters of the intra prediction mode as selected. In any case, after selecting the intra-prediction mode for the block, the intra-prediction unit 254 is also used to provide the intra-prediction parameters to the entropy encoding unit 270, that is, to provide an indication of the selected intra-prediction mode for the block Information. In one example, the intra prediction unit 254 may be used to perform any combination of intra prediction techniques.
具体的,上述帧内预测单元254可向熵编码单元270传输语法元素,所述语法元素包括帧内预测参数(比如遍历多个帧内预测模式后选择用于当前块预测的帧内预测模式的指示信息)。可能应用场景中,如果帧内预测模式只有一种,那么也可以不在语法元素中携带帧内预测参数,此时解码端30可直接使用默认的预测模式进行解码。Specifically, the above-mentioned intra-prediction unit 254 may transmit a syntax element to the entropy encoding unit 270, where the syntax element includes intra-prediction parameters (such as an intra-prediction mode selected for the current block prediction after traversing multiple intra-prediction modes) Instructions).

For example, the value range of the motion vector is constrained to be within a certain bit width. Assuming that the bit width of the allowed motion vector is bitDepth, the range of the motion vector is -2 bitDepth-1 ~ 2 bitDepth-1 -1. If bitDepth is 16, the value ranges from -32768 to 32767. If bitDepth is 18, the value ranges from -131072 to 131071. For another example, the value of the motion vector (such as the motion vector MV of four 4×4 sub-blocks in an 8×8 image block) is constrained so that the integer parts of the four 4×4 sub-blocks MV The maximum difference of is no more than N pixels, for example no more than one pixel.

图6描述了四叉树,二叉树及扩展四叉树的划分方式,其中:Figure 6 describes the division of quadtree, binary tree and extended quadtree, among which:
QT是一种树状结构,表示一个节点可划分为四个子节点。现有视频编码标准采用基于四叉树的CTU划分方式:CTU作为根节点,每个节点对应于一个方形的区域;一个节点可以不再划分(此时它对应的区域为一个CU),或者将这个节点划分成四个下一层级的节点,即把这个方形区域划分成四个大小相同的方形区域(其长、宽各为划分前区域长、宽的一半),每个区域对应于一个节点。如6(a)所示。QT is a tree structure, which means that a node can be divided into four child nodes. Existing video coding standards use a quadtree-based CTU division method: CTU as the root node, each node corresponds to a square area; a node can no longer be divided (in this case, the corresponding area is a CU), or This node is divided into four next-level nodes, that is, the square area is divided into four square areas of the same size (the length and width of which are half of the length and width of the area before division), each area corresponds to a node . As shown in 6(a).
二叉树是一种树状结构,表示一个节点可划分成两个子节点。现有采用二叉树的编码方法中,一个二叉树结构上的节点可以不划分,或者把此节点划分成两个下一层级的节点。划分成两个节点的方式有两种:1)水平二分,将节点对应的区域划分成上、下两个相同大小的区域,每个区域对应于一个节点,如6(b)所示;或者2)竖直二分,将节点对应的区域划分成左、右两个大小相同的区域,每个区域对应于一个节点,如6(c)所示。A binary tree is a tree structure, which means that a node can be divided into two child nodes. In the existing coding method using a binary tree, a node on a binary tree structure may not be divided, or the node may be divided into two nodes at the next level. There are two ways to divide it into two nodes: 1) Horizontal dichotomy, divide the area corresponding to the node into two areas of the same size, one for each node, as shown in 6(b); or 2) Vertical dichotomy, divide the area corresponding to the node into two areas of the same size on the left and right, each area corresponds to a node, as shown in 6(c).
扩展四叉树(Extended Quad-Tree,EQT)是一种工字划分结构,一个节点可划分成四个子节点。划分成三个节点的方式有两种:1)水平四分,将节点对应的区域划分成上、中、下三个区域,每个区域对应于一个节点,其中上、中左、中右、下三个区域的高分别为节点高的1/4、1/2、1/2、1/4,中左和中右宽度为节点高度的1/2、1/2,如6(d)所示;或者2)竖直四分,将节点对应的区域划分成左、中上、中下、右三个区域,每个区域对应于一个节点,其中左、中、右三个区域的宽分别为节点高的1/4、1/2、1/2、1/4,中上和中下宽度为节点高度的1/2、1/2,如6(e)所示。现有采用扩展四叉树的编码方法中,一个扩展四叉树结构上的节点可以不划分,或者把此节点按BT或EQT的方式继续划分成下一层级的节点。Extended Quad-Tree (Extended-Quad-Tree, EQT) is an I-shaped partition structure, a node can be divided into four sub-nodes. There are two ways to divide it into three nodes: 1) Horizontal quartering, which divides the area corresponding to the node into upper, middle and lower areas, each area corresponds to a node, of which upper, middle left, middle right, The heights of the next three areas are 1/4, 1/2, 1/2, 1/4 of the node height, and the width of the middle left and right are 1/2, 1/2 of the height of the node, such as 6(d) As shown; or 2) Vertical quartering, the area corresponding to the node is divided into three areas: left, middle upper, middle lower, and right, each area corresponds to a node, wherein the width of the left, middle, and right areas They are 1/4, 1/2, 1/2, and 1/4 of the node height, respectively, and the upper, middle, and lower widths are 1/2 and 1/2 of the node height, as shown in 6(e). In the existing coding method using the extended quadtree, a node on the structure of the extended quadtree may not be divided, or the node may be further divided into nodes of the next level in the manner of BT or EQT.
H.265视频编码标准把一帧图像分割成互不重叠的编码树单元(CTU),CTU的大小可设置为64×64(CTU的大小也可设置为其它值,如JVET参考软件JEM中CTU大小增大为128×128或256×256)。64×64的CTU包含由64列、每列64个像素的矩形像素点阵,每个像素包含亮度分量或/和色度分量。The H.265 video coding standard divides a frame of images into non-overlapping coding tree units (CTU). The size of the CTU can be set to 64×64 (the size of the CTU can also be set to other values, such as CTU in the JVET reference software JEM The size increases to 128×128 or 256×256). A 64×64 CTU contains a rectangular pixel lattice of 64 pixels in each column and each pixel contains a luminance component or/and a chrominance component.
使用基于四叉树(quad-tree,简称QT)的CTU划分方法,将CTU作为四叉树的根节点(root),按照四叉树的划分方式,将CTU递归划分成若干个叶节点(leaf node)。一个节点对应于一个图像区域,节点如果不划分,则节点称为叶节点,它对应的图像区域形成一个CU;如果节点继续划分,则节点对应的图像区域划分成四个相同大小的区域(其 长和宽各为被划分区域的一半),每个区域对应一个节点,需要分别确定这些节点是否还会划分。一个节点是否划分由码流中这个节点对应的划分标志位split_cu_flag指示。一个节点A划分一次得到4个节点Bi,i=0,1,2,3,Bi称为A的子节点,A称为Bi的父节点。根节点的四叉树层级(qtDepth)为0,节点的四叉树层级为节点的父节点的四叉树层级加1。为表述简洁,下文中节点的大小和形状即指节点对应的图像区域的大小和形状。Using the quad-tree (QT)-based CTU division method, the CTU is used as the root node of the quad-tree, and the CTU is recursively divided into several leaf nodes (leaf) according to the quad-tree division method node). A node corresponds to an image area. If the node is not divided, the node is called a leaf node, and its corresponding image area forms a CU; if the node continues to be divided, the image area corresponding to the node is divided into four areas of the same size (which The length and width are each half of the divided area), each area corresponds to a node, you need to determine whether these nodes will be divided. Whether a node is divided is indicated by the split flag bit split_cu_flag corresponding to this node in the code stream. A node A is divided into four nodes Bi at a time, i=0, 1, 2, 3, Bi is called a child node of A, and A is called a parent node of Bi. The quad-tree level (qtDepth) of the root node is 0, and the quad-tree level of the node is the quad-tree level of the parent node of the node plus 1. For simplicity, the size and shape of the node in the following refers to the size and shape of the image area corresponding to the node.
更具体的,对64×64的CTU节点(四叉树层级为0),根据它对应的split_cu_flag,可选择不划分,成为1个64×64的CU,或者选择划分为4个32×32的节点(四叉树层级为1)。这四个32×32的节点中的每一个节点,又可以根据它对应的split_cu_flag,选择继续划分或者不划分;如果一个32×32的节点继续划分,则产生四个16×16的节点(四叉树层级为2)。以此类推,直到所有节点都不再划分,这样一个CTU就被划分成一组CU。CU的最小尺寸(size)在序列参数集(Sequence Parameter Set,SPS)中标识,例如8×8为最小CU。在上述递归划分过程中,如果一个节点的尺寸等于最小CU尺寸(minimum CU size),这个节点默认为不再划分,同时也不需要在码流中包含它的划分标志位。More specifically, for a 64×64 CTU node (the quadtree level is 0), according to its corresponding split_cu_flag, you can choose not to divide into 1 64×64 CU, or choose to divide into 4 32×32 Node (quadtree level is 1). Each of the four 32×32 nodes can choose to continue or not to divide according to its corresponding split_cu_flag; if a 32×32 node continues to divide, four 16×16 nodes (four The fork tree level is 2). By analogy, until all nodes are no longer divided, such a CTU is divided into a group of CU. The minimum size of the CU is identified in a sequence parameter set (SPS), for example, 8×8 is the minimum CU. In the above recursive division process, if the size of a node is equal to the minimum CU size (minimum CU size), the node defaults to no division, and it does not need to include its division flag in the code stream.
当解析到一个节点为叶节点后,此叶节点为一个CU,进一步解析CU对应的编码信息(包括CU的预测模式、变换系数等信息,例如H.265中的coding_unit()语法结构体),然后按照这些编码信息对CU进行预测、反量化、反变换、环路滤波等解码处理,产生这个CU对应的重建图像。四叉树结构使得CTU能够根据图像局部特点划分成合适大小的一组CU,例如平滑区域划分成较大的CU,而纹理丰富区域划分为较小的CU。When a node is parsed as a leaf node, the leaf node is a CU, and further parses the coding information corresponding to the CU (including the CU prediction mode, transform coefficients and other information, such as the coding_unit() syntax structure in H.265), Then, according to these coding information, the CU is subjected to decoding processing such as prediction, inverse quantization, inverse transform, and loop filtering to generate a reconstructed image corresponding to this CU. The quadtree structure allows the CTU to be divided into a group of CUs of appropriate size according to the local characteristics of the image, for example, smooth regions are divided into larger CUs, and texture-rich regions are divided into smaller CUs.
一种CTU划分成一组CU的划分方式对应于一个编码树(coding tree)。CTU应当采用何种编码树则通常通过编码器的率失真优化(rate distortion optimization,RDO)技术来确定。编码器尝试多种CTU划分方式,每一种划分方式对应于一个率失真代价(RD cost);编码器比较各种尝试过的划分方式的RD cost,找到RD cost最小的划分方式,作为该CTU最优的划分方式,用于该CTU的实际编码。编码器尝试的各种CTU划分方式均需要符合解码器规定的划分规则,这些才能够被解码器正确识别。A CTU divided into a group of CUs corresponds to a coding tree (coding tree). The coding tree that the CTU should use is usually determined by the rate-distortion optimization (RDO) technology of the encoder. The encoder tries a variety of CTU division methods, each of which corresponds to a rate-distortion cost (RD cost); the encoder compares the RD costs of various tried division methods and finds the division method with the smallest RD cost as the CTU The optimal division method is used for the actual coding of the CTU. The various CTU division methods tried by the encoder need to meet the division rules specified by the decoder, so that these can be correctly recognized by the decoder.
多用途视频编码测试模型(Versatile video coding Test Model,VTM)参考软件在四叉树划分的基础上,增加了二叉树(binary tree,BT)划分方式和三叉树(ternary tree,TT)划分方式。其中,VTM是JVET组织开发的新式编解码器参考软件。The multi-purpose video coding test model (Versatile Video Coding Test Model, VTM) reference software adds a binary tree (BT) division method and a ternary tree (TT) division method based on the quadtree division. Among them, VTM is a new codec reference software developed by JVET.
二叉树划分将一个节点划分成2个子节点,具体的二叉树划分方式有两种:Binary tree division divides a node into two child nodes. There are two specific binary tree division methods:
1)水平二分:将节点对应的区域划分成上、下两个相同大小的区域(即宽不变,高变为划分前区域的一半),每个区域对应于一个节点;如6(b)所示。1) Horizontal dichotomy: divide the area corresponding to the node into two areas of the same size (that is, the width is unchanged, the height becomes half of the area before division), and each area corresponds to a node; such as 6(b) As shown.
2)竖直二分:将节点对应的区域划分成左、右两个相同大小的区域(即高不变,宽变为划分前区域的一半);如6(c)所示。2) Vertical dichotomy: Divide the area corresponding to the node into two areas of the same size on the left and right (that is, the height remains unchanged, and the width becomes half of the area before division); as shown in 6(c).
三叉树划分将一个节点划分成3个子节点,具体的三叉树划分方式有两种:The trigeminal tree division divides a node into three child nodes. There are two specific trigeminal tree division methods:
1)水平三分:将节点对应的区域划分成上、中、下三个区域,每个区域对应于一个节点,其中上、中、下三个区域的高分别为节点高的1/4、1/2、1/4,如6(d)所示;1) Horizontal three-point division: the area corresponding to the node is divided into upper, middle and lower areas, each area corresponds to a node, and the heights of the upper, middle and lower areas are 1/4 of the node height, respectively. 1/2, 1/4, as shown in 6(d);
2)竖直三分:将节点对应的区域划分成左、中、右三个区域,每个区域对应于一个节点,其中左、中、右三个区域的宽分别为节点高的1/4、1/2、1/4,如6(e)所示2) Vertical three-point division: the area corresponding to the node is divided into three areas of left, center and right, each area corresponds to a node, and the widths of the left, center and right areas are 1/4 of the height of the node , 1/2, 1/4, as shown in 6(e)
VTM中使用了QT级联BT/TT的划分方式(Quad Tree plus Multi-Type Tree,QT-MTT)划分方式。更具体的,CTU通过QT划分,产生QT叶节点,QT中的节点可使用四叉树 划分继续划分成四个QT子节点,或者不使用四叉划分产生一个QT叶节点。QT叶节点作为MTT的根节点。MTT中的节点可使用水平二分、竖直二分、水平三分、竖直三分这四种划分方式中的一种划分为子节点,或者不再划分成为一个MTT叶节点。MTT的叶节点为一个编码单元CU。VTM uses the QT cascaded BT/TT division (Quad Tree plus Multi-Type Tree, QT-MTT) division method. More specifically, the CTU generates QT leaf nodes through QT division. The nodes in QT can be further divided into four QT child nodes using quadtree division, or a QT leaf node can be generated without using quadtree division. The QT leaf node serves as the root node of the MTT. The nodes in the MTT can be divided into child nodes using one of the four division methods: horizontal dichotomy, vertical dichotomy, horizontal trisection, and vertical trisection, or they can no longer be divided into MTT leaf nodes. The leaf node of MTT is a coding unit CU.
图7给出了使用QT-MTT将一个CTU划分成a到p等16个CU的示例。图7右图中每个端点表示一个节点,一个节点连出4根线表示四叉树划分,一个节点连出2根线表示二叉树划分,一个节点连出3根线表示三叉树划分。实线表示QT划分,虚线表示多类型划分(Multi-Type Tree,MTT)的第一层划分,点划线表示MTT的第二层划分。a到p为16个MTT叶节点,每个MTT叶节点为1个CU。一个CTU按照图7右图的划分方式,得到了如图7左图所示的CU划分图。Figure 7 shows an example of using QT-MTT to divide a CTU into 16 CUs such as a to p. Each end point in the right figure of FIG. 7 represents a node, a node connected with 4 lines represents a quadtree division, a node connected with 2 lines represents a binary tree division, and a node connected with 3 lines represents a trigeminal tree division. The solid line represents the QT division, the dotted line represents the first layer division of Multi-Type Tree (MTT), and the dot-and-dash line represents the second layer division of MTT. a to p are 16 MTT leaf nodes, and each MTT leaf node is 1 CU. A CTU is divided into the CU as shown in the left diagram of FIG. 7 according to the division method of the right diagram of FIG. 7.
QT-MTT划分方式中,每个CU具有QT层级(Quad-tree depth,QT depth,也称为QT深度)和MTT层级(Multi-Type Tree depth,MTT depth,也称为MTT深度)。QT层级表示CU所属的QT叶节点的QT层级,MTT层级表示CU所属MTT叶节点的MTT层级。编码树的根节点的QT层级为0,MTT层级为0。如果编码树上一个节点使用QT划分,则划分得到的子节点的QT层级为该节点的QT层级加1,MTT层级不变;相似的,如果编码树上一个节点使用MTT划分(即BT或TT划分之一),则划分得到的子节点的MTT层级为该节点的MTT层级加1,QT层级不变。例如图1中a、b、c、d、e、f、g、i、j的QT层级为1,MTT层级为2;h的QT层级为1,MTT层级为1;n、o、p的QT层级为2,MTT层级为0;l、m的QT层级为2,MTT层级为1。如果CTU只划分成一个CU,则此CU的QT层级为0,MTT层级为0。In the QT-MTT division method, each CU has a QT level (Quad-tree depth, QT depth, also called QT depth) and an MTT level (Multi-Type Tree depth, MTT depth, also called MTT depth). The QT level represents the QT level of the QT leaf node to which the CU belongs, and the MTT level represents the MTT level of the MTT leaf node to which the CU belongs. The QT level of the root node of the coding tree is 0, and the MTT level is 0. If a node on the coding tree uses QT division, the QT level of the divided child node is the QT level of the node plus 1, the MTT level remains unchanged; similarly, if a node on the coding tree uses MTT division (ie BT or TT One of the divisions), then the MTT level of the divided child node is the MTT level of the node plus 1, and the QT level remains unchanged. For example, in Figure 1, the QT level of a, b, c, d, e, f, g, i, j is 1, MTT level is 2; the QT level of h is 1, the MTT level is 1; n, o, p The QT level is 2, and the MTT level is 0; the QT level of l and m is 2, and the MTT level is 1. If the CTU is divided into only one CU, the QT level of this CU is 0 and the MTT level is 0.
在最新的AVS3的制定过程中,AVS3在四叉树划分的基础上,增加了二叉树(binary tree,BT)划分方式和扩展四叉树(Extended Quad-Tree,EQT)划分方式。In the process of formulating the latest AVS3, AVS3 added a binary tree (BT) division method and an extended quad-tree (EQT) division method on the basis of the quadtree division.
二叉树划分将一个节点划分成2个子节点,具体的两叉树划分方式有两种:Binary tree division divides a node into two child nodes. There are two specific ways to divide a binary tree:
1)水平二分(horizontal binary tree,HBT):将节点对应的区域划分成上、下两个相同大小的区域(即宽不变,高变为划分前区域的一半),每个区域对应于一个节点;如6(b)所示。1) Horizontal binary (HBT): Divide the area corresponding to the node into the upper and lower areas of the same size (that is, the width is unchanged, the height becomes half of the area before division), each area corresponds to one Node; as shown in 6(b).
2)竖直二分(vertical binary tree,VBT):将节点对应的区域划分成左、右两个相同大小的区域(即高不变,宽变为划分前区域的一半);如6(c)所示。2) Vertical binary (VBT): Divide the area corresponding to the node into two areas of the same size on the left and right (that is, the height is unchanged, the width becomes half of the area before division); such as 6(c) As shown.
扩展四叉树划分将一个节点划分成4个子节点,具体的扩展四叉树划分方式有两种:Extended quadtree division divides a node into 4 sub-nodes. There are two specific ways to expand a quadtree:
1)水平四分(horizontal Extended Quad-Tree,HEQT),将节点对应的区域划分成上、中、下三个区域,每个区域对应于一个节点,其中上、中左、中右、下三个区域的高分别为节点高的1/4、1/2、1/2、1/4,中左和中右宽度为节点高度的1/2、1/2,如6(d)所示;1) Horizontal Extended (Quad-Tree, HEQT), the area corresponding to the node is divided into upper, middle and lower areas, each area corresponds to a node, of which upper, middle left, middle right and lower three The height of each area is 1/4, 1/2, 1/2, 1/4 of the node height, and the width of the center left and center right is 1/2, 1/2 of the node height, as shown in 6(d) ;
2)竖直四分(vertical Extended Quad-Tree,VEQT),将节点对应的区域划分成左、中上、中下、右三个区域,每个区域对应于一个节点,其中左、中、右三个区域的宽分别为节点高的1/4、1/2、1/2、1/4,中上和中下宽度为节点高度的1/2、1/2,如6(e)所示。2)Vertical Extended Quad-Tree (VEQT), the area corresponding to the node is divided into three areas of left, middle upper, middle lower, and right, and each area corresponds to a node, of which left, middle, and right The width of the three areas is 1/4, 1/2, 1/2, 1/4 of the node height, and the width of the upper middle and lower is 1/2, 1/2 of the height of the node, as shown in 6(e) Show.
AVS3中使用了QT级联BT/EQT的划分方式,即第一级编码树上的节点只能使用QT划分成子节点,第一级编码树的叶节点为第二级编码树的根节点;第二级编码树上的节点可使用BT或EQT划分方式中的一种划分为子节点;第二级编码树的叶节点为编码单元。 需要注意的是,当叶节点为BT或EQT划分方式时,其叶节点只能使用BT或EQT划分方式,而不能使用QT的方式。AVS3 uses the QT cascade BT/EQT division method, that is, the nodes on the first-level coding tree can only be divided into child nodes using QT. The leaf nodes of the first-level coding tree are the root nodes of the second-level coding tree; The nodes on the second-level coding tree can be divided into child nodes using one of the BT or EQT division methods; the leaf nodes of the second-level coding tree are coding units. It should be noted that when a leaf node is divided into BT or EQT, its leaf nodes can only use BT or EQT, but not QT.
经过上述的各种划分之后,编码树下的叶子节点位置的图像块作为编码单元,视频编码主要包括帧内预测(Intra Prediction)、帧间预测(Inter Prediction)、变换(Transform)、量化(Quantization)、熵编码(Entropy encode)、环内滤波(in-loop filtering)(主要为去块滤波,de-blocking filtering)等环节。将图像划分为编码块之后进行帧内预测或者帧间预测,并且在得到残差之后进行变换量化,最终进行熵编码并输出码流。此处编码块为由像素点组成的M×N大小的阵列(M可以等于N,也可以不等于N),并且已知各个像素点位置的像素值。After the above-mentioned various divisions, the image block at the position of the leaf node under the coding tree is used as the coding unit. Video coding mainly includes intra prediction (Intra Prediction), inter prediction (Inter Prediction), transformation (Transform), and quantization (Quantization) ), Entropy encoding, in-loop filtering (mainly de-blocking filtering) and other links. After the image is divided into coding blocks, intra prediction or inter prediction is performed, and after the residual is obtained, transform and quantization are performed, and finally entropy coding is performed and the code stream is output. Here, the coding block is an M×N size array composed of pixels (M may be equal to N or may not be equal to N), and the pixel value of each pixel position is known.
帧内预测是指利用当前图像内已重建区域内像素点的像素值对当前编码块内像素点的像素值进行预测。Intra prediction refers to using the pixel values of pixels in the reconstructed area in the current image to predict the pixel values of pixels in the current coding block.
帧间预测是在已重建的图像中,为当前图像中的当前编码块寻找匹配的参考块,从而得到当前编码块的运动信息,然后根据运动信息计算出当前编码块中像素点的像素值的预测信息或者预测值(以下不再区分信息和值)。其中,计算运动信息的过程称为运动估计(Motion estimation,ME),计算出当前编码块中像素点的像素值的预测值的过程称为运动补偿(Motion compensation,MC)。Inter prediction is to find a matching reference block for the current coding block in the current image in the reconstructed image, so as to obtain the motion information of the current coding block, and then calculate the pixel value of the pixel in the current coding block according to the motion information Predicted information or predicted value (in the following no longer distinguish between information and value). Among them, the process of calculating motion information is called Motion Estimation (ME), and the process of calculating the predicted value of the pixel value of the pixel in the current coding block is called Motion Compensation (MC).
需要说明的是,当前编码块的运动信息包括了预测方向的指示信息(通常为前向预测、后向预测或者双向预测),一个或两个指向参考块的运动矢量(Motion vector,MV),以及参考块所在图像的指示信息(通常记为参考帧索引,Reference index)。It should be noted that the motion information of the current coding block includes indication information of the prediction direction (usually forward prediction, backward prediction or bidirectional prediction), one or two motion vectors (Motion vector, MV) pointing to the reference block, And the indication information of the image where the reference block is located (usually referred to as reference frame index, Reference).
前向预测是指当前编码块从前向参考图像集合中选择一个参考图像获取参考块。后向预测是指当前编码块从后向参考图像集合中选择一个参考图像获取参考块。双向预测是指从前向和后向参考图像集合中各选择一个参考图像获取参考块。当使用双向预测方法时,当前编码块会存在两个参考块,每个参考块各自需要运动矢量和参考帧索引进行指示,然后根据两个参考块内像素点的像素值确定当前块内像素点像素值的预测值。Forward prediction means that the current coding block selects one reference image from the set of forward reference images to obtain the reference block. Backward prediction means that the current coding block selects a reference image from the set of backward reference images to obtain the reference block. Bidirectional prediction refers to selecting a reference image from a set of forward and backward reference images to obtain a reference block. When using the bidirectional prediction method, there will be two reference blocks in the current coding block, each reference block needs a motion vector and a reference frame index to indicate, and then determine the pixels in the current block according to the pixel values of the pixels in the two reference blocks The predicted value of the pixel value.
运动估计过程需要为当前编码块在参考图像中尝试多个参考块,最终使用哪一个或者哪几个参考块用作预测则使用率失真优化(Rate-distortion optimization,RDO)或者其他方法确定。The motion estimation process needs to try multiple reference blocks in the reference image for the current coding block. Which one or several reference blocks to use for prediction is determined using Rate-distortion Optimization (RDO) or other methods.
利用帧内预测或者帧间预测得到预测信息之后,当前编码块内像素点的像素值减去对应的预测信息便得到残差信息,然后利用离散余弦变换(Discrete Cosine Transformation,DCT)等方法对残差信息进行变换,再使用量化熵编码得到码流。预测信号加上重建残差信号之后需进一步进行滤波操作,进而得到重建信号,并将其作为后续编码的参考信号。After obtaining prediction information using intra prediction or inter prediction, the pixel value of the pixel in the current coding block is subtracted from the corresponding prediction information to obtain the residual information, and then the discrete cosine transform (Discrete Cosine Transformation, DCT) and other methods are used to resolve the residual information. The difference information is transformed, and then quantized entropy coding is used to obtain a code stream. After the prediction signal is added to the reconstructed residual signal, a further filtering operation is required to obtain a reconstructed signal, which is used as a reference signal for subsequent encoding.
解码则相当于编码的逆过程。例如,首先利用熵解码反量化反变换得到残差信息,解码码流以确定当前编码块使用的是帧内预测还是帧间预测。如果是帧内预测,则利用周围已重建区域内像素点的像素值按照所使用的帧内预测方法构建预测信息。如果是帧间预测,则需要解析出运动信息,并使用所解析出的运动信息在已重建的图像中确定参考块,并将块内像素点的像素值作为预测信息,此过程称为运动补偿(Motion compensation,MC)。使用预测信息加上残差信息经过滤波操作便可以得到重建信息。Decoding is equivalent to the reverse process of encoding. For example, first, entropy decoding, inverse quantization and inverse transformation are used to obtain residual information, and the code stream is decoded to determine whether the current coding block uses intra prediction or inter prediction. In the case of intra prediction, prediction information is constructed according to the intra prediction method used by using pixel values of pixels in the surrounding reconstructed area. If it is inter prediction, you need to parse out the motion information, and use the parsed motion information to determine the reference block in the reconstructed image, and use the pixel values of the pixels in the block as prediction information. This process is called motion compensation. (Motion compensation, MC).
