Abstract:
Apparatus, systems and techniques based on an integer transform for encoding and decoding video or image signals, including an order-16 integer transform from a Microsoft Media Video order-8 integer transform with a high energy-packing ability and an improved data compression in the field of image and video coding. For example, a method and an apparatus are provided for deriving an order-16 integer transform from an order-8 integer transform in the standard transform of Microsoft Media Video. Eight additions and eight subtractions are used to assign the data elements to be transformed to an intermediate matrix; and then two fast algorithms for the computation of the order-8 transform may be applied to the first 8 vectors of the intermediate matrix, and the last 8 vectors of the intermediate matrix, respectively. The derived order-16 integer transform tends to produce small magnitude and high frequency transformed coefficients, and thus achieve high compressibility.

Full Description:
BACKGROUND 
       [0001]    This application relates to digital image and video processing. 
         [0002]    Various applications exist for digital video communication and storage, and corresponding international standards have been and are continuing to be developed. To achieve low bit rate communications, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 Part 2, and H.263 standards divide a picture into 16×16 non-overlapping blocks called macro block and then use 2 dimensional (2D) order-8 discrete cosine transform (DCT) in digital video compression algorithms used in the coding standards. Recently, new video coding standards, such as H.264/AVC, AVS and SMPTE 421M etc, have been proposed that use 2D order-4 or order-8 transforms to provide a better compressibility than the video standards based on the 2D order-8 DCT. In those standards, the 2D order-4 or order-8 transforms are used so as to seek a trade-off between computational efficiency and coding efficiency. 
       SUMMARY 
       [0003]    This application describes examples and implementations of apparatus, systems and techniques based on an integer transform for encoding and decoding video or image signals, including an order-16 integer transform from a Microsoft Media Video order-8 integer transform with a high energy-packing ability and an improved data compression in the field of image and video coding. 
         [0004]    In one aspect, a process for deriving an order-16 integer transform from an order-8 integer transform in image and video coding includes: 
         [0005]    retrieving a data matrix X 16×16  to be transformed; 
         [0006]    assigning the retrieved matrix X 16×16  to an intermediate matrix C 16×16 by eight additions and eight subtractions; and 
         [0007]    deriving a resultant matrix Z 16×16  by carrying out the order-8 integer transform twice by a rule of 
         [0000]      [ z   0,m   z   1,m    . . . z   7,m ] T   =E   8×8   [c   0,m   c   1,m    . . . c   7,m ] T    
         [0000]      [ z   8,m   z   9,m    . . . z   15,m ] T   =E   8×8   [c   8,m   c   9,m    . . . c   15,m ] T    
         [0000]    wherein z n,m  is of the (n,m)th element of the matrix Z 16×16 , and E 8×8  is a standard order-8 transform used in the standard of Microsoft Media Video. 
         [0008]    In another aspect, an apparatus for deriving an order-16 integer transform from an order-8 integer transform in image and video coding includes: 
         [0009]    an assignment unit configured to retrieve a data matrix X 16×16  to be transformed, and then to assign the retrieved matrix X 16×16  to an intermediate matrix C 16×16  by eight additions and eight subtractions; and 
         [0010]    a transform unit configured to derive a resultant matrix Z 16×16  by carrying out the order-8 integer transform twice by a rule of 
         [0000]      [ z   0,m   z   1,m    . . . z   7,m ] T   =E   8×8   [c   0,m   c   1,m    . . . c   7,m ] T    
         [0000]      [ z   8,m   z   9,m    . . . z   15,m ] T   =E   8×8   [c   8,m   c   9,m    . . . c   15,m ] T    
         [0000]    wherein z n,m  is of the (n,m)th element of the matrix Z 16×16 , and E 8×8  is a standard order-8 transform used in the standard of Microsoft Media Video. 
         [0011]    In some implementations, only additions and subtraction operations are performed in the processing. Hence, if an order-8 transform is an integer transform, the resultant order-16 integer transform is also an integer transform and thus can be easily implemented with good precision if the integers are small. In addition, the derived order-16 transform based on what is disclosed here can pack more energy into low frequency coefficients, i.e. the transformed coefficient z u,v  with small u and v, and leave little energy to high frequency coefficients, i.e. the transformed coefficient z u,v  with large u and v in some cases. Hence, it is an effective tool to improve the compression ability of a coder. 
         [0012]    The details of the above and other aspects of the described apparatus, systems and techniques are set forth in the accompanying drawings, the description and claims below.

         [0000]    wherein E 16×16  is an order-16 transform, which is to be explained in detail later. 
         [0021]    To improve the computational efficiency, a fast algorithm can be used to derive an order-16 integer transform from a conventional order-8 transform. In one implementation, the fast algorithm can include: 
         [0022]    a) eight additions and eight subtractions; and 
         [0023]    b) computing the order-8 transform E 8×8  twice by using a known fast algorithm of the order-8 transform. 
         [0024]    Specific examples of the fast algorithm are discussed below. 
       EXAMPLE 1 
       [0025]    This Example will be discussed in referring to  FIG. 2 , in which an example of a fast algorithm of 1D order-16 integer transform carried out at step  102  of  FIG. 1  is illustrated. 
         [0026]    Referring to  FIG. 2 , the vector X m  is firstly transformed into an intermediate vector C m  by eight additions and eight subtractions as given in equation (4),

         [0035]    A 2D fast algorithm for the order-16 integer transform can be achieved by performing the 1D integer transform in vertical for each column in X 16×16  to form matrix Z 16×16  of elements z i,j  and then in horizontal for each row in Z 16×16  to form matrix Z 16×16 ′ of elements Z i,j ′ as given in equation (12) 
         [0000]        Z   16×16   E   16×16   X   16×16   E   16×16    (12). 
         [0036]    Specifically, referring to  FIG. 1  again, at step  102 , for each of 16 column vectors of the matrix X 16×16 , the above mentioned 1D integer transform is carried out to achieve an intermediate matrix Z 16×16 , and then at step  103 , the above mentioned 1D integer transform is carried out again for each of the 16 row vectors of the intermediate matrix Z 16×16  so as to achieve the resultant matrix Z 16×16 ′. 
         [0037]    In  FIG. 1 , step  102  is performed before step  103 . Alternatively, one may choose to perform step  103  before step  102 . In other words, one may perform the 1D transform in horizontal for each row in X 16×16  first. Such step is represented by the operation X 16×16  E T   16×16  in (12). It is then followed by the 1D transform in vertical, which is represented by the multiplication of E 16×16  in (12). The same Z 16×16 ′ can be obtained in either way. 
         [0038]    As is well known in the art, a transform is good if it can pack more energy into low frequency coefficients (i.e. z′ u,v  with small u, v) and leave little energy to high frequency coefficients (i.e. z′ u,v  with large u, v). In general, a transform with its low frequency basis vectors (i.e. the first few row of E 16×16 ) resembling a slowly changing vector x i  of the matrix X 16×16  is good. As is shown in equation (8), the first three basis vectors of transform E 16×16  are as follows 
         [0000]        E   1 ==[16 16 15 15 9 9 4 4 −4 −4 −9 −9 −15 −15 −16 −16] E   2 =[16 16 6 6 −6 −6 −16 −16 −16 −16 −6 −6 6 6 16 16] E   3 =[15 15 −4 −4 −16 −16 −9 −9 9 9 16 16 4 4 −15 −15]. 
         [0039]    In most cases, most of the energy of X 16×16  is packed into low frequency coefficients related to the first several basis vectors of transform E 16×16  like E 1 , E 2 , and E 3  etc. The remaining small amount of energy of X 16×16  is represented by other coefficients which become zero after quantization. As a result, higher compression rates can be achieved. 
         [0040]    Then, the process  100  goes to step  104 , where a quantization is carried out to convert the transformed matrix Z′ 16×16  into a matrix of quantized transform Y Q (i,j), which requires less bits for representation. The amount of the bit reduction is controlled by a quantization parameter denoted as QP, which is shown as follows:

         [0041]    Then, at step  105 , the quantized matrix Y Q (i, j) is scaled by a scaling matrix K 16×16  to form a matrix Y 16×16 , as given in equation (13) 
         [0000]        y   i,j   =Y   Q ( i,j )· K   16×16   2  ( i,j )   (13) 
         [0042]    where y i,j  is the (i,j)th element of matrix Y 16×16 , and K 16×16  (i,j) is the (i,j)th element of K 16×16 . K 16×16  is derived from a scaling matrix K 8×8 , which is listed as follows:

         [0046]    Since the inverse 2D integer transform of Y into X can be computed by a similar way as stated above, the detailed description thereof is then omitted. 
         [0047]      FIG. 4  illustrates exemplarily an embodiment of an apparatus  1000  for the implementation of the process as shown in  FIG. 1 . As is showed therein, the apparatus  1000  comprises an assignment unit  10 , a transforming unit  20 , a quantization unit  30  and a scaling unit  40 . 
         [0048]    The assignment unit  10  is configured to retrieve a data matrix X 16×16  to be transformed, and then to assign of the retrieved data to an intermediate matrix C 16×16  under the rule set forth in equation (4) or equation (9). 
         [0049]    The transform unit  20  carries out two order-8 transforms for the matrix C 16×16  by using the conventional E 8×8 , which is showed in equation (6), so as to output the matrix Z 16×16 . E 8×8  may be embedded in the transform unit  20 . Alternatively, E 8×8  may be stored in any other separately memory (not shown). In this case, the transform unit  20  may be capable of retrieving E 8×8  from the memory. 
         [0050]    The quantization unit  30  receives the output matrix Z 16×16 , and then converts the matrix Z 16×16  into a quantized transform coefficient Y Q (i,j), which requires less bits for representation. 
         [0051]    The scaling unit  40  receives the quantized coefficient Y Q (ij), and then uses a scaling matrix K 16×16  to make Y Q (i,j) into a matrix Y 16×16 , as is shown in equation (13), wherein matrix K 16×16  is shown in equation (15) or equation (16). Herein, K 16×16  may be embedded in the quantization unit  30 . Alternatively, K 16×16  may be stored in any other separately memory (not shown). In this case, the quantization unit  30  may be capable of retrieving K 16×16  from the memory. 
         [0052]    While the assignment unit  10 , the transforming unit  20 , the quantization unit  30  and the scaling unit  40  are shown in  FIG. 4  and described herein as four separate units, other implementations are possible. For example, the units  10 ,  20 ,  30  and  40  may be implemented as lesser or more units as required, and may be implemented either by software or hardware, or the combination of software and hardware. 
         [0053]    The disclosed and other embodiments and the functional operations described in this specification can be implemented in digital electronic circuitry, or in computer software, firmware, or hardware, including the structures disclosed in this specification and their structural equivalents, or in combinations of one or more of them. The disclosed and other embodiments can be implemented as one or more computer program products, i.e., one or more modules of computer program instructions encoded on a computer readable medium for execution by, or to control the operation of, data processing apparatus. The computer readable medium can be a machine-readable storage device, a machine-readable storage substrate, a memory device, a composition of matter effecting a machine-readable propagated signal, or a combination of one or more them. The term “data processing apparatus” encompasses all apparatus, devices, and machines for processing data, including by way of example a programmable processor, a computer, or multiple processors or computers. The apparatus can include, in addition to hardware, code that creates an execution environment for the computer program in question, e.g., code that constitutes processor firmware, a protocol stack, a database management system, an operating system, or a combination of one or more of them. A propagated signal is an artificially generated signal, e.g., a machine-generated electrical, optical, or electromagnetic signal, that is generated to encode information for transmission to suitable receiver apparatus. 
         [0054]    A computer program (also known as a program, software, software application, script, or code) can be written in any form of programming language, including compiled or interpreted languages, and it can be deployed in any form, including as a stand alone program or as a module, component, subroutine, or other unit suitable for use in a computing environment. A computer program does not necessarily correspond to a file in a file system. A program can be stored in a portion of a file that holds other programs or data (e.g., one or more scripts stored in a markup language document), in a single file dedicated to the program in question, or in multiple coordinated files (e.g., files that store one or more modules, sub programs, or portions of code). A computer program can be deployed to be executed on one computer or on multiple computers that are located at one site or distributed across multiple sites and interconnected by a communication network. 
         [0055]    The processes and logic flows described in this specification can be performed by one or more programmable processors executing one or more computer programs to perform functions by operating on input data and generating output. The processes and logic flows can also be performed by, and apparatus can also be implemented as, special purpose logic circuitry, e.g., an FPGA (field programmable gate array) or an ASIC (application specific integrated circuit). 
         [0056]    Processors suitable for the execution of a computer program include, by way of example, both general and special purpose microprocessors, and any one or more processors of any kind of digital computer. Generally, a processor will receive instructions and data from a read only memory or a random access memory or both. The essential elements of a computer are a processor for performing instructions and one or more memory devices for storing instructions and data. Generally, a computer will also include, or be operatively coupled to receive data from or transfer data to, or both, one or more mass storage devices for storing data, e.g., magnetic, magneto optical disks, or optical disks. However, a computer need not have such devices. Computer readable media suitable for storing computer program instructions and data include all forms of non volatile memory, media and memory devices, including by way of example semiconductor memory devices, e.g., EPROM, EEPROM, and flash memory devices; magnetic disks, e.g., internal hard disks or removable disks; magneto optical disks; and CD ROM and DVD-ROM disks. The processor and the memory can be supplemented by, or incorporated in, special purpose logic circuitry. 
         [0057]    The disclosed embodiments can be implemented in a computing system that includes a back end component, e.g., as a data server, or that includes a middleware component, e.g., an application server, or that includes a front end component, e.g., a client computer having a graphical user interface or a Web browser through which a user can interact with an implementation of what is disclosed here, or any combination of one or more such back end, middleware, or front end components. The components of the system can be interconnected by any form or medium of digital data communication, e.g., a communication network. Examples of communication networks include a local area network (“LAN”) and a wide area network (“WAN”), e.g., the Internet. 
         [0058]    A computer system for implementing the disclosed embodiments can include client computers (clients) and server computers (servers). A client and a server are generally remote from each other and typically interact through a communication network. The relationship of client and server can arise by virtue of computer programs running on the respective computers and having a client-server relationship to each other. 
         [0059]    While this specification contains many specifics, these should not be construed as limitations on the scope of any invention or of what may be claimed, but rather as descriptions of features specific to particular embodiments. Certain features that are described in this specification in the context of separate embodiments can also be implemented in combination in a single embodiment. Conversely, various features that are described in the context of a single embodiment can also be implemented in multiple embodiments separately or in any suitable subcombination. Moreover, although features may be described above as acting in certain combinations and even initially claimed as such, one or more features from a claimed combination can in some cases be excised from the combination, and the claimed combination may be directed to a subcombination or variation of a subcombination. 
         [0060]    Similarly, operations are depicted in the drawings in a particular order, and such operations should be performed in the particular order shown or in sequential order, and that all illustrated operations be performed, to achieve desirable results. In certain circumstances, multitasking and parallel processing may be advantageous. Moreover, the separation of various system components in the embodiments described above should not be understood as requiring such separation in all embodiments, and it should be understood that the described program components and systems can generally be integrated together in a single software product or packaged into multiple software products. 
         [0061]    Thus, particular embodiments have been described. Other embodiments are within the scope of the following claims.
