【摘要】 在分布式视频编码(DVC)中,边信息的质量对视频序列的压缩效果有很大影响。本文中,一种基于分层运动估计的边信息提取算法引入到DVC系统中。首先,采用了两种运动估计模式,向前运动估计和双向运动估计,然后利用分层变块大小运动估计算法获得了比较准确的运动矢量。接着运动矢量滤波器修正了由于局部相似造成的错误运动矢量。最后,选择决策模块更好地处理了帧内插技术中的多种估计模式的问题。这些算法为DVC提供了更好的边信息,提高了DVC系统的性能。实验结果显示,基于这种新算法的DVC系统高于传统视频编码帧内模式 3-4dB,而仅仅低于传统视频编码IBIB模式0.5-1dB。更多还原

【Abstract】 The side information quality has an immense effect on the compression efficiency of the distributed video coding (DVC) sys- tem. This article, based on the hierarchical motion estimation (HME), proposes a new side information generation algorithm which is integrated into DVC system. First, forward motion estimation (FME) and bidirectional motion estimation (BME) on the basis of variable block size HME algorithm are used to acquire relatively accurate motion vectors. Second, a motion vector filter (MVF) is introduced to correct the false estimated motion vectors caused by partial similarity in the video sequences. Finally, a decision mechanism is adopted to handle the overlapped areas in the interpolated frame. The simulation shows that the DVC system associated with the proposed side information generation algorithm can achieve a gain as much as 3-4 dB higher than conventional video coding of INTRA mode and only 0.5-1.0 dB less than that of IBIB mode.更多还原
