Abstract

The H.264/AVC standard uses efficient inter prediction technologies improving the coding efficiency by reducing temporal redundancy between images. However, since H.264/AVC does not efficiently encode a video sequence that occurs a local illumination change, the coding efficiency of H.264/AVC is decreased when a local illumination change happens in video. In this paper, we propose an improved motion compensation using adjacent pixels and motion vector refinement to efficiently encode local illumination changes. The proposed method always improves the BD-PSNR (Bj$\o$ntegaard Delta Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio) of 0.01 ~ 0.21 dB compared with H.264/AVC.

H.264/AVC 표준은 영상간의 시간적 중복성(Temporal Redundancy)을 줄여 부호화 효율을 높이는 인터예측 방법을 사용한다. 하지만, 영상에서 발생할 수 있는 지역적인 밝기 변화를 효율적으로 부호화 할 수 없기 때문에, 화질의 열화가 발생하여 부호화 효율이 떨어지는 문제점을 지니고 있다. 본 논문은 지역적인 밝기 변화를 인접화소 및 움직임벡터 재조정을 이용하여 효율적으로 부호화 할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은, H.264/AVC와 비교하여 0.01 ~ 0.21dB의 BD-PSNR (Bj$\o$ntegaard Delta Peak Signal-to-noise) 이득을 얻을 수 있었다.
