Motion Vector Refinement for High-Performance Transcoding
نویسندگان
چکیده
In transcoding, simply reusing the motion vectors extracted from an incoming video bit stream may not result in the best quality. In this paper, we show that the incoming motion vectors become nonoptimal due to the reconstruction errors. To achieve the best video quality possible, a new motion estimation should be performed in the transcoder. We propose a fast-search adaptive motion vector refinement scheme that is capable of providing video quality comparable to that can be achieved by performing a new full-scale motion estimation but with much less computation. We discuss the case when some incoming frames are dropped for frame-rate conversions, and propose motion vector composition method to compose a motion vector from the incoming motion vectors. The composed motion vector can also be refined using the proposed motion vector refinement scheme to achieve better results.

A Novel Motion Vector Refinement Algorithm for Spatial Resolution Reduction Transcoding
For the low bit-rate video communications, video contents have to be transcoded according to network bandwidth and the performance of clients. The heterogeneous low bit-rate transcoding, however, suffers from quality degradation caused by the drift error. In this paper, we propose a novel motion estimation refinement algorithm to compensate drift errors. Simulation results show that the propose...
متن کاملA Fast MPEG-2 to H.264 Downscaling Transcoder
In MPEG-2 to H.264 cascaded transcoder, the transcoding speed is mainly affected by computational complexity of H.264 encoder. Especially, motion estimation module of the encoder costs much time due to multiple motioncompensated prediction modes of H.264. In this paper, in order to speed up the transcoding and achieve good video quality, we propose a new motion vector composition scheme for MPE...

متن کاملHeterogeneous Video Transcoding to Lower Spatio-Temporal Resolutions and Different Encoding Formats
In this work, transcoding of pre-encoded MPEG-1, 2 video into lower bit rates is realized through altering the coding algorithm into H.261/H.263 standards with lower spatio-temporal resolutions. For this heterogeneous transcoding, we extract and compose a set of candidate motion vectors, from the incoming bit stream, to comply with the encoding format of the output bit stream. For the spatial r...
