Abstract

Recently, the JCT-VC is developing the next generation video coding standard that is called HEVC. HEVC has adopted many coding technologies increasing coding efficiency. For chroma interpolation, DCT-based interpolation filter showing better performance than the linear filter in H.264/AVC was adopted in HEVC. In this paper, a combined filter that utilizes the FIR filter and the linear filter in H.264/AVC is proposed to increase coding efficiency. When the proposed method is compared with DCT-based interpolation filter, the experimental results for various sequences show that the average BD-rate improvements on chroma U and V components are 0.9% and 1.1%, respectively, in the high efficiency case of random access structure, those on U and V components are 1.1% and 1.1%, respectively, in the low complexity case of random access structure, those on U and V components are 0.9% and 1.4%, respectively, in the high efficiency case of low delay structure, and those on U and V components are 1.8% and 1.8%, respectively, in the low complexity case of low delay structure.

최근 차세대 비디오 코딩 표준화를 위해 JCT-VC에서 HEVC라 불리는 새로운 비디오 압축 표준 기술을 개발하고 있다. HEVC는 H.264/AVC보다 높은 성능을 갖는 많은 부호화 기술을 채택하였다. 그중 색차 신호를 보간할 때 H.264/AVC에서 사용된 선형필터보다 좋은 성능을 가지는 DCT 기반으로 한 보간 필터를 사용하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 H.264/AVC에서 사용된 FIR필터와 선형필터를 통합한 필터를 제안하여 부호화 효율을 높이는 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법과 DCT 기반으로 한 보간 필터와 비교하였을 때 실험결과로 제안한 방법은 random access구조의 high efficiency 경우 색차성분 U,V에서 각각 평균 0.9%, 1.1%의 BD-rate가 감소하였고,random access의 low complexity 구조인 경우 색차성분 U,V에서 각각 평균 1.1%, 1.1%의 BD-rate가 감소하였고, low delay의 high efficiency 구조인 경우 색차성분 U,V에서 각각 평균 0.9%, 1.4%의 BD-rate가 감소하였고, low delay 구조의 low complexity인 경우 색차성분 U,V에서 각각 평균 1.8%, 1.8%의 BD-rate가 감소하였다.
