Analysis of Dyadic Approximation Error for Hybrid Video Codecs With Integer Transforms
In this paper, we present an analysis of the dyadic approximation error introduced by the integerization of transform coding in H. 264/AVC-like codecs. We derive the analytical formulations for dyadic approximation error and nonorthogonality error. We further classify the dyadic approximation error into a "system error" and a "nonflat error," and proposed two models for them. We found that the "nonflat error" has a substantial impact on video quality if the number of shifting bits at decoder side (DQ_BITS) is small. We also give a theoretical justification on why scaling factors at encoder side are better to be adapted to the rescaling factors at decoder side in H. 264/AVC-like codecs.
