Definitions
- the present invention is directed towards video encoders and decoders (CODECs), and more particularly, towards an apparatus and method for reducing the perceived delay for the initial display of decoded video content following a channel change.
- CODECs video encoders and decoders
- a decoder decodes a compressed video sequence beginning with an intra-coded (I) picture, and then continues to decode the subsequent inter-coded (P and B) pictures.
- I intra-coded
- P and B inter-coded pictures
- a Group of Pictures may include an I picture and several subsequent P and B pictures. I pictures typically require many more bits to code than does a P or B picture of equivalent video quality.
- a receiver When a receiver initially begins receiving a program on a particular channel, such as following a channel change or initial turning on of the receiver, it must wait until an I picture is received to begin decoding properly, which causes a delay.
- P and B pictures may be predicted using multiple reference pictures, including the pictures before a preceding I picture.
- the standard identifies random access points as Independent Decoder Refreshes, or IDRs, which constrain that no reference pictures before each IDR are used in predicting pictures following the IDR.
- JVT/H.264/MPEG AVC compression standard includes a tool called redundant pictures, defined in the standard as:
- redundant coded picture A coded representation of a picture or a part of a picture. The content of a redundant coded picture shall not be used by the decoding process for a bitstream conforming to this
- the slice header contains a redundant_pic_cnt field, whose semantics are defined as:
- redundant_pic_cnt shall be equal to 0 for slices and slice data partitions belonging to the primary coded picture.
- the redundant_pic_cnt shall be greater than 0 for coded slices and coded slice data partitions in redundant coded pictures.
- redundant_pic_cnt When redundant_pic_cnt is not present, its value shall be inferred to be equal to 0.
- the value of redundant_pic_cnt shall be in the range of 0 to 127, inclusive.
- a slice data partition B RBSP shall be present having the same value of slice_id and redundant_pic_cnt as in the slice data partition A RBSP.
- no slice data partition B RBSP shall be present having the same value of slice d and redundant_pic_cnt as in the slice data partition A RBSP.
- a video encoder for receiving input pictures and providing compressed stream data includes a normal encoding portion for receiving input pictures and providing normal stream data, a lower-quality encoding portion for receiving input pictures and providing channel change stream data, and a multiplexor in signal communication with each of the normal and lower-quality portions for receiving and combining the normal and channel change data streams.

- Embodiments of the present invention provide allow channel change delay at any desired rate with a lower bitrate than prior art methods. That is, the invention enables low delay channel change time in a compressed video broadcast system, while significantly reducing the bitrate over prior methods of enabling low-delay channel change.
- individual P and B pictures are coded using one or more different slice types (I, P and/or B), while I pictures are coded using only I slices. Accordingly, in the description that follows, the term “slice” may be substituted for the term "picture” depending on the context and applicable standard.
- Prior art systems broadcast I pictures frequently to enable channel change, for example every N pictures. In embodiments of the present invention, normal I pictures are sent less frequently, and additional lower quality I pictures are sent more frequently.
- a desired channel change delay can be achieved without requiring I pictures to be sent as frequently as is done in prior art systems. Instead, additional lower quality coded pictures, included in what is herein called the channel change stream, are sent in addition to the normal quality coded pictures.
- the channel change stream lower quality I pictures are sent at the desired channel change frequency, and are used at the decoder during the initial period following a channel change. Normal quality I pictures are sent in the normal stream at a lower frequency, and are used at the decoder once they are available.
- a decoding system starts decoding the compressed video as soon as it receives an I picture, either from the normal stream or from the channel change stream. If the first I picture to arrive is from the normal stream, the decoder continues normally. However, if the first I picture to arrive is a lower quality I picture from the channel change stream, the decoder decodes and uses the lower quality I picture. This causes lower quality video to be displayed until a normal quality I picture arrives. This period of lower quality video is not significantly noticeable to a viewer as it is of short duration and immediately follows a channel change. The human visual system takes some time to adjust to a new visual scene.
- the channel change stream may either contain only lower quality I pictures, or may contain lower quality I, P and B pictures.
- the picture rate of the channel change stream may be lower than that of the normal stream.
- the lower quality pictures may be of the same resolution as the normal pictures but encoded at a lower bitrate, or may be of a lower resolution than the normal pictures.
- the bitstream size of the lower quality I coded pictures in the channel change stream are small compared with the size of normal quality coded I pictures in the normal stream. So even though additional coded representations of the same picture are being transmitted, overall bitrate savings occur because the size of a normal quality P or B picture plus the lower quality I picture is typically significantly less than that of a normal quality I picture alone.
- the decoder system waits for the arrival of a lower quality I picture, and then it decodes and displays the lower quality pictures from the channel change stream until a normal quality I picture is received, at which point it switches to the normal quality stream.
- the decoding system waits for the arrival of an I picture in either the normal stream or channel change stream after a channel change. If the first I picture to arrive is in the channel change stream, the decoding system decodes and displays the lower quality I picture. Then this lower quality picture is stored in the normal decoder picture stores and the decoding system begins decoding the subsequent normal stream P and B pictures, using the lower quality I picture from the channel change stream as a reference. Because these normal quality P and B pictures were inter-coded based on prior pictures in the normal stream rather than the corresponding lower quality I picture from the channel change stream, this will cause some decoding drift.

- any switches shown in the figures are conceptual only. Their function may be carried out through the operation of program logic, through dedicated logic, through the interaction of program control and dedicated logic, or even manually, the particular technique being selectable by the implementer as more specifically understood from the context.
- any element expressed as a means for performing a specified function is intended to encompass any way of performing that function including, for example, a) a combination of circuit elements that performs that function or b) software in any form, including, therefore, firmware, microcode or the like, combined with appropriate circuitry for executing that software to perform the function.
- the invention as defined by such claims resides in the fact that the functionalities provided by the various recited means are combined and brought together in the manner which the claims call for. Applicant thus regards any means that can provide those functionalities as equivalent to those shown herein.
- an encoder in accordance with principles of the present invention is indicated generally by the reference numeral 100.
- the encoder 100 uses the same resolution for each of the normal stream and the channel change stream, and includes a normal encoder portion 130 for producing the normal stream and a low-quality encoder portion 140 for producing the channel change stream, each receiving the same resolution input pictures.
- the normal portion 130 and the low- quality portion 140 are each coupled in signal communication with a multiplexor (mux) 150, for providing the normal and channel change streams, respectively, to the mux 150 for transmission.
- a multiplexor (mux) 150 for providing the normal and channel change streams, respectively, to the mux 150 for transmission.
- a decoder in accordance with principles of the present invention is indicated generally by the reference numeral 200.
- the decoder 200 uses the same resolution for each of the normal stream and the channel change stream, and includes a demultiplexer (demux) 210 for receiving compressed video data and demultiplexing the normal and channel change streams, each coupled in selectable signal communication with a normal decoder portion 212.
- the normal decoder portion 212 is coupled in signal communication with frame stores 214, and outputs decoded video to a display.
- Figure 1 shows an encoding system
- Figure 2 shows a decoding system that each use the same resolution images for both the normal stream and the channel change stream.
- the normal encoder portion creates normal quality compressed video pictures for the normal stream
- a parallel low-quality encoder portion creates lower quality compressed video pictures for the channel change stream.
- the encoder 100 shows two separate encoder blocks for the two encoder functions, but, as will be recognized by those of ordinary skill in the pertinent art, the two encoder functions could be performed using the same encoder device.
- the normal stream and channel change stream are multiplexed together, if necessary, and transmitted.
- a demux separates the normal stream and channel change stream, and a selection is made as to whether the picture from the normal stream or the channel change stream should be sent to the decoder.
- an encoder in accordance with principles of the present invention is indicated generally by the reference numeral 300.
- the encoder 300 uses filtered data for the channel change stream, and includes a normal encoder portion 330 for producing the normal stream, and a low-pass filter 332 in signal communication with a low-quality encoder portion 340 for producing the filtered channel change stream.
- the normal portion 330 and the low-quality portion 340 are each coupled in signal communication with a mux 350, for providing the normal and channel change streams, respectively, to the mux 350 for output.
- Figure 3 shows an alternate encoding system, which applies a low-pass filter to the input pictures prior to the lower quality encoder. Because the pictures in the channel change stream are coded at a relatively low bitrate, they may contain visible coding artifacts. By low-pass filtering the images prior to encoding, some of these visible coding artifacts may be removed.
- the multiplexor arranges the transmission time of the coded pictures such that the channel change stream I pictures are interspersed with the normal stream coded pictures.
- the channel change stream coded picture is preferably transmitted near the time that the normal stream picture corresponding to the same input picture is transmitted, and before any normal stream pictures that are inter-predicted with respect to that picture.
- the receiver may either choose to decode the normal stream's P picture 24 or the channel change stream's I picture 24. This could either be a receiver end decision, or a preference could be signaled by the encoder in the bitstream, based on which one will yield less drift.
- the normal stream's pictures 25-35 are then decoded, still with drift.
- the decoder can start decoding properly without added drift for all subsequent pictures. From the viewer's perspective, for a short period after a channel change, here up to about 1.5 seconds, lower quality video is displayed, and then normal quality is displayed.
- Bitrate savings versus a prior art system is achieved because the large normal stream I pictures are sent less frequently that they would be sent in a prior art system.
- the lower quality I pictures sent in the channel change stream are much smaller than the normal quality I pictures.
- An encoding system may send the lower quality I pictures in the channel change stream as frequently as desired, and with any pattern. I pictures in the normal stream also need not follow a regular pattern, and for example may be inserted whenever a scene change occurs.
- An encoding system does not need to insert channel change stream I pictures if the distance between I pictures in the normal stream does not exceed a desired value.
- the encoding system may choose to insert I pictures in the channel change stream whenever necessary to maintain a maximum I picture spacing, associated with a desired channel change delay limit, for example.
- the channel change stream may contain pictures of different resolutions. For example, some of the I pictures in the channel change stream may be of the same resolution as the normal stream and others may be at a lower resolution. Alternately, two or more different lower resolutions for pictures in the channel change stream may be used.
- the encoder can restrict the range of allowable reference pictures for the P and B pictures that follow the normal stream picture that corresponds to the channel change stream I picture.
- P and B pictures may be predicted using multiple reference pictures, which provides a coding efficiency advantage over using a single reference picture.
- a restriction may be imposed such that pictures 12-23 in the normal stream may not use reference pictures prior to picture 12. If this restriction were not imposed, more drift would occur following a channel change. For example, if picture 15 was predicted from both pictures 12 and 9, and a channel change occurred while picture 5 was being received, the decoding system would have a representation of picture 12, from the channel change stream I picture 12, but would not have any representation of picture 9. This could lead to a significant reduction in visual quality when decoding pictures 13-23. However, if a restriction were imposed that picture 15 be predicted only from picture 12, this significant drift can be avoided, with a small penalty in the coding efficiency of picture 15.
- the encoder 500 uses downsampled data for the channel change stream, and includes a normal encoder portion 530 for producing the normal stream, and a downsampler 534 in signal communication with a low-quality encoder portion 540 for producing the filtered channel change stream.
- the normal portion 530 and the low-quality portion 540 are each coupled in signal communication with a mux 550, for providing the normal and channel change streams, respectively, to the mux 550 for output.
- the decoder 600 uses downsampled data for the channel change stream, and includes a demux 610 for receiving compressed video data, coupled in signal communication with each of a normal decoder portion 612 and a lower resolution decoder portion 618.
- the normal decoder portion 612 is coupled in signal communication with frame stores 614, and selectably outputs decoded video to a display and to the frame stores 614.
- the lower resolution decoder portion 618 is coupled in signal communication with frame stores 620, and outputs decoded video to an upsampler 622, which, in turn, selectably outputs upsampled decoded video to a display and to the frame stores 614.
- Figure 5 shows an encoding system
- Figure 6 shows a decoding system, each of which use lower resolution images for lower quality pictures in the channel change stream than for the normal pictures.
- 704x480 pixels could be used for the normal pictures and 352x240 pixels for the channel change pictures.
- the input pictures are encoded normally for the normal stream, and are resized to a lower resolution and encoded at that lower resolution for the channel change stream.
- the normal stream and the channel change stream are multiplexed together and transmitted.
- a demux separates the normal stream and the channel change stream, and a selection is made as to whether the picture from the normal stream or the channel change stream should be decoded and displayed.
- the decoded picture is put into the normal stream decoder's picture store for use in decoding subsequent normal stream coded pictures.
- lower quality video is initially displayed, and once an I picture in the normal stream is received, normal quality video begins to be displayed.
- the abrupt transition from lower quality video to normal quality video may be more noticeable to a viewer than the lower quality video itself.
- a postprocessor may be added following the decoder to filter the decoded pictures. The filter strength may be adjusted over several pictures, to gradually increase the resolution or quality of the decoded pictures.
- the decoder 700 uses downsampled data for the channel change stream, and includes a demux 710 for receiving compressed video data, coupled in signal communication with each of a normal decoder portion 712 and a lower resolution decoder portion 718.
- the normal decoder portion 712 is coupled in signal communication with frame stores 714, and selectably outputs decoded video to a display and to the frame stores 714.
- the normal decoder portion 712 is further coupled in signal communication with a post processing filter 716, which selectably outputs postprocessed decoded video to the display and to the frame stores 714.
- the lower resolution decoder portion 718 is coupled in signal communication with frame stores 720, and outputs decoded video to an upsampler 722, which, in turn, selectably outputs upsampled decoded video to a display and to the frame stores 714.
- Figure 7 shows a decoding system that incorporates a post processing filter.
- a post processing function may also be added following the lower quality decoder to hide compression artifacts.
- a video encoding method for receiving input pictures and providing compressed stream data is indicated generally by the reference numeral 800.
- the method 800 includes a start block 810 that passes control to an input block 812 for receiving input pictures.
- the input block 812 passes control to a function block 814 for encoding normal stream data from the received input pictures.
- the function block 814 passes control to a function block 816 for encoding channel change stream data from the received input pictures, where the channel change stream data includes lower-quality encoded data than the normal stream data.
- the function block 816 passes control to a function block 818 for multiplexing the normal and channel change data streams into a combined output stream, and, in turn, passes control to an end block 820.
- a video decoding method for receiving compressed stream data and providing decompressed video output is indicated generally by the reference numeral 900.
- the method 900 includes a start block 910 that passes control to an input block 912 for receiving the compressed stream data, which passes control to a function block 914 for separating the normal stream and the channel change stream.
- the function block 914 passes control to a function block 916 for receiving at least one of the compressed normal and channel change streams, and providing decompressed video output.
- the function block 916 passes control to a function block 918 for storing reference pictures for use in decoding inter-coded pictures.
- the function block 918 passes control to an end block 920.
- one method to is place the channel change stream's lower quality coded pictures in user data associated with the corresponding picture of the normal stream.
- This method allows the decoding system to identify the picture time of a channel change stream coded picture. If this method is used, an alteration to the unique picture start code of the coded pictures in the channel change stream is necessary, such as by using bit or byte stuffing, to help the pre-existing normal decoder avoid detecting the picture start code of the channel change stream picture inside of the user data.
- the bit or byte stuffing procedure may be reversed in the decoding system, before passing data to a standards compliant decoder.
- An alternative multiplexing method is to use a different PID for the channel change stream than for the normal stream.
- the channel change stream will need to include timing information for the coded pictures, synchronized with the normal stream pictures. Also, an association must be made between the PIDs of the normal stream and the channel change stream.
- the redundant pictures syntax of JVT may be used for coding the channel change pictures by setting the redundant_pic_cnt field in the slice header to 1 for the channel change pictures.
- the channel change stream pictures may be identified by searching for pictures containing a redundant_pic_cnt field equal to 1 in the slice header.
- the principles of the present invention are implemented as a combination of hardware and software.
- the software is preferably implemented as an application program tangibly embodied on a program storage unit.
- the application program may be uploaded to, and executed by, a machine comprising any suitable architecture.
