Interframe rapid video transcoding method applied to from H. 264 to HEVC

Abstract

The invention provides an interframe rapid video transcoding method applied to from H. 264 to HEVC. According to H. 264 code stream information and HEVC interframe coding information, for the interframe coding part in an H. 264 to the HEVC transcoder, a fast mode decision and motion estimation method is adopted. With regard to a CU with the depth of 0, 1 layers, combined with H. 264 code stream decoded information and HEVC coded information, a 2N * 2N in-advance determination threshold and an asymmetric motion partition (AMP) determination threshold are obtained, and then the search condition of its PU is determined. For the motion estimation part, the motion vector search range and the motion vector search precision are determined through the H. 264 decoding information. The motion vector search precision is divided into three parts of the integer pixel precision, the sub-pixel precision and the zero motion vector. The method can greatly reduce the computation complexity of interframe coding in the transcoding process from H. 264 to HEVC.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the transcoding of video data, and specifically refers to a H.264 to HEVC transcoding method based on statistical analysis, which is used for transcoding video data of the H.264 / AVC standard into video data of the HEVC standard. Background technique [0002] Two major international organizations, MPEG and ITU, officially released the HEVC new generation digital video codec standard in 2013 to adapt to the development of high-quality video applications. HEVC uses advanced technology to improve the relationship between code stream, coding quality, delay and algorithm complexity, effectively improving video coding efficiency. HEVC still uses the prediction plus transform hybrid coding framework of previous generations of coding standards. Unlike H.264, HEVC expands the size of the coding block. In H.264, the size of the coding block is from 4×4 to 16×16, while HEVC expands the block size to 4×4 to 128×128 to cope with high-re...
