Perceptually coding images and videos |
摘要 |
Blocks in pixel images are template matched to select candidate blocks and weights according to a structural similarity and a perceptual distortion of the blocks. The perceptual distortion is a function of a just-noticeable-distortion (JND). A filter outputs a prediction residual between the block and the candidate blocks. The prediction residual is transformed and quantized to produce a quantized prediction residual using the JND. The matching and quantizing is optimized jointly using the perceptual distortion. Then, the quantized prediction residual and the weights are entropy encoded into a bit-stream for later decoding. |

1. A method for encoding a sequence of images of pixels, wherein each image includes one or more blocks processed in a predetermined order, comprising for each block the steps of:
determining a just-noticeable-distortion (JND) for the block; performing template matching on the block to select candidate blocks in the corresponding image and weights according to a structural similarity and a perceptual distortion of the block with respect to the candidate blocks, wherein the perceptual distortion is a function of the JND, and wherein the weights are equal and a function of a count of a number of the candidate blocks; determining a prediction residual, wherein the prediction residual is a difference between the input block and an output of a filter combining the candidate blocks; transforming the prediction residual to produce a transformed prediction residual; quantizing the transformed prediction residual according to the JND to produce a quantized prediction residual, and wherein the template matching and the quantizing are optimized jointly using the perceptual distortion; and entropy encoding the quantized prediction residual and the weights for a bitstream, wherein the steps are performed in an encoder. |
