  13. Conditional Replenishment • Based on motion detection rather than motion estimation • Partition the current frame into “still areas” and “moving areas” • Replenishment is applied to moving regions only • Repetition is applied to still regions • Need to transmit the location of moving areas as well as new (replenishment) information • No motion vectors transmitted EE569 Digital Video Processing

  14. Conditional Replenishment EE569 Digital Video Processing

  15. Motion Detection EE569 Digital Video Processing

  16. From Replenishment to Prediction • Replenishment can be viewed as a degenerated case of prediction • Only zero motion vector is considered • Discard the history • A more powerful approach of exploiting temporal dependency is prediction • Locate the best match from the previous frame • Use the history to predict the current EE569 Digital Video Processing

  19. A Closer Look EE569 Digital Video Processing

  20. Key Components • Motion Estimation/Compensation • At the heart of MCP-based coding • Coding of Motion Vectors (overhead) • Lossless: errors in MV are catastrophic • Coding of MCP residues • Lossy: distortion is controlled by the quantization step-size • Rate-Distortion optimization EE569 Digital Video Processing

  21. Block-based Motion Model • Block size • Fixed vs. variable • Motion accuracy • Integer-pel vs. fractional-pel • Number of hypothesis • Overlapped Block Motion Compensation (OBMC) • Multi-frame prediction EE569 Digital Video Processing

  22. Quadtree Representation of Motion Field with Variable Blocksize Sullivan, G.J.; Baker, R.L., "Rate-distortion optimized motion compensation for video compression using fixed or variable size blocks," GLOBECOM '91. pp.85-90 vol.1, 2-5 Dec 1991 EE569 Digital Video Processing

  23. Example counted bits using a VLC table EE569 Digital Video Processing

  24. Fractional-pel BMA • Recall the tradeoff between spending bits on motion and spending bits on MCP residues • Intuitively speaking, going from integer-pel to fractional-pel is good for it dramatically reduces the variance of MCP residues for some video sequence. • The gain quickly saturates as motion accuracy refines EE569 Digital Video Processing

  25. Example 8-by-8 block, integer-pel, var(e)=220.8 8-by-8 block, half-pel, var(e)=123.8 MCP residue comparison for the first two frames of Mobile sequence EE569 Digital Video Processing

  26. Fractional-pel MCP Girod, B., "Motion-compensating prediction with fractional-pel accuracy," IEEE Trans. onCommunications, vol.41, no.4, pp.604-612, Apr 1993 EE569 Digital Video Processing

  27. Multi-Hypothesis MCP • Using one block from one reference frame represents a single-hypothesis MCP • It is possible to formulate multiple hypothesis by considering • Overlapped blocks • More than one reference frame • Why multi-hypothesis? • The benefit of reducing variance of MCP residues outweighs the increased overhead on motion EE569 Digital Video Processing

  28. Example: B-frame fn-1 fn fn+1 EE569 Digital Video Processing

  31. Overlapped Block Motion Compensation (OBMC) • Conventional block motion compensation • One best matching block is found from a reference frame • The current block is predicted by the best matching block • OBMC • Each pixel in the current block is predicted by a weighted average of several corresponding pixels in the reference frame • The corresponding pixels are determined by the MVs of the current as well as adjacent MBs • The weights for each corresponding pixel depends on the expected accuracy of the associated MV EE569 Digital Video Processing

  32. OBMC Using 4 Neighboring MBs Should be inversely proportional to the distance between x and the center of EE569 Digital Video Processing

  36. Motion Vector Coding • 2D lossless DPCM • Spatially (temporally) adjacent motion vectors are correlated • Use causal neighbors to predict the current one • Code Motion Vector Difference (MVD) instead of MVs • Entropy coding techniques • Variable length codes (VLC) • Arithmetic coding EE569 Digital Video Processing

  37. MVD Example MV1 MV2 MV MV3 Due to smoothness of MV field, MVD usually has a smaller variance than MV EE569 Digital Video Processing
