MPEG-4 동영상 압축에서 비트율과 오류 내성을 고려한 인트라 업데이트

Rate-Distortion Oprimized Error-Resilient Intra Update in MPEG-4 Video Coding

  • 발행 : 2002.11.01

초록

동영상 압축에서 움직임 보상은 뛰어난 압축 효율을 보이는 반면에 어느 한 시점에서 오류가 발생할 경우 그 시점 이후로 계속해서 오류가 확산된다는 단점이 있다. 인트라 업데이트 방법은 이러한 오류의 확산을 차단하는 방법이다. 그러나 인트라 업데이트 방법은 압축의 효율을 떨어뜨린다는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 오류의 영향과 비트율 제어를 함께 고려하여 인트라 업데이트를 할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 비트율과 왜곡의 값을 추정하고 라그랑지안 최적화를 통해 부호화 모드와 양자화 파라메터를 선택하는 방법으로 MPEG-4 코덱에 적용하여 실험하였다. 실험 결과는 제안된 방법이 기존의 방법보다 패킷 손실과 같은 오류 환경에서 더 좋은 화질을 나타내는 것을 보여준다.

Motion compensation is a powerful method to compress an image sequence. Its main drawback is that once an error is occurred, the error propagates through the frames. Recently, the intra update method was proposed to stop the error propagation at the expense of reduction in compression efficiency. This paper proposes an intra update method based on a rate-distortion optimization in error prone environments. The rate and the distortion are estimated using the Lagrangian optimization to select the coding mode and the quantization step size. The proposed method is applied to MPEG-4 codec, and the experimental results show that it is robust to the error such as packet losses comparing with the conventional ones.
