Region-based weighted prediction with improved global brightness detection for H.264 Encoder

چکیده
This paper presents an efficient reg ion-based WP (weighted prediction) with improved global brightness change detection for real-time H.264 encoder. We improve WP for local brightness changes using the reference reordering, without additional memory bandwidth and computation for ME (motion estimation). A brute force way is choosing the best reference index that minimizes MV cost after performing ME with two references separately. However, it doubles the ME computation too. To reduce the computation, we propose the following MBbased WP.

A Weighted Prediction of Spatial Scalable Video Coding with Inter-layer Information
Weighted prediction (WP) is a very efficient tool to encode video scenes that contain brightness variation caused by fade. Scalable Video Coding (SVC) extension of H.264/AVC can apply the WP tool of H.264/AVC to each spatial layer. However, because the weighted parameter sets in the WP of SVC are assigned to every slice, coding efficiency is degraded if the brightness variation is non−uniform i...
متن کاملAn efficient retinex-like brightness normalization method for coding camera flashes and strong brightness variation in videos
Conventional hybrid video coding systems rely on the assumption that the brightness is constant. This does not take inter-frame brightness variations into consideration during motion estimation and compensation processes. Under the influence of inter-frame lighting variations like camera flashes, video motion activities are not accurately estimated and the pixel prediction is poor which directl...

متن کاملCombined Inter-intra Prediction for High Definition Video Coding
In rate−distortion optimized video coding, such as H.264, a macroblock uses either Inter or Intra prediction as its compensation method, which exploits temporal or spatial correlation alternatively for compression. In this paper, analysis and experimental results show that Inter and Intra prediction can be combined to generate a more accurate prediction especially for high definition video. A w...
متن کاملA Low Complexity Macroblock Layer Rate Control Scheme Base on Weighted-Window for H.264 Encoder
Rate control plays a very important role in video coding. A low complexity macroblock (MB) layer rate control scheme for H.264 encoder is presented in this paper. Based on the analysis of the relationship among the quantization parameter (QP), mean absolute distortion (MAD) and the coded bits, a weighted-window model is proposed. A weighted-window based QP decision and MAD prediction model is p...
