FITD: Fast Intra Transcoding from H.264/AVC to high efficiency video coding based on DCT coefficients and prediction modes

In the literatures, the designs of H.264 to High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) transcoders mostly focus on inter transcoding. In this paper, a fast intra transcoding system from H.264 to HEVC based on discrete cosine transform (DCT) coefficients and intra prediction modes, called FITD, is proposed by using the intra information retrieved from an H.264 decoder for transcoding. To design effective transcoding strategies, FITD not only refers block size of intra prediction and intra prediction modes, but also effectively uses the DCT coefficients to help a transcoder to predict the complexity of the blocks. We successfully use DCT coefficients as well as intra prediction information embedded in H.264 bitstreams to predict the coding depth map for depth limitation and early termination to simplify HEVC re-encoding process. After a HEVC encoder gets the prediction of a certain CU size from depth map, if it reaches the predicted depth, the HEVC encoder will stop the next CU branch. As a result, the numbers of CU branches and predictions in HEVC re-encoder will be substantially reduced to achieve fast and precise intra transcoding. The experimental results show that the FITD is 1.7–2.5 times faster than the original HEVC in encoding intra frames, while the bitrate is only increased to 3% or less and the PSNR degradation is also controlled within 0.1 dB. Compared to the previous H.264 to HEVC transcoding approaches, FITD clearly maintains the better trade-off between re-encoding speed and video quality.     

General Architecture for MPEG-2/H.263/H.264/AVC to H.264/AVC Intra Frame Transcoding

The latest international video-coding standard H.264/AVC significantly achieves better coding performance compared to prior video coding standards such as MPEG-2 and H.263, which have been widely used in today’s digital video applications. To provide the interoperability between different coding standards, this paper proposes an efficient architecture for MPEG-2/H.263/H.264/AVC to H.264/AVC intra frame transcoding, using the original information such as discrete cosine transform (DCT) coefficients and coded mode type. Low-frequency components of DCT coefficients and a novel rate distortion cost function are used to select a set of candidate modes for rate distortion optimization (RDO) decision. For H.263 and H.264/AVC, a mode refinement scheme is utilized to eliminate unlikely modes before RDO mode decision, based on coded mode information. The experimental results, conducted on JM12.2 with fast C8MB mode decision, reveal that average 58%, 59% and 60% of computation (re-encoding) time can be saved for MPEG-2, H.263, H.264/AVC to H.264/AVC intra frame transcodings respectively, while preserving good coding performance when compared with complex cascaded pixel domain transcoding (CCPDT); or average 88% (a speed up factor of 8) when compared with CCPDT without considering fast C8MB. The proposed algorithm for H.264/AVC homogeneous transcoding is also compared to the simple cascaded pixel domain transcoding (with original mode reuse). The results of this comparison indicate that the proposed algorithm significantly outperforms the mode reuse algorithm in coding performance, with only slightly higher computation.     

Wavelet to DCT transcoding in transform domain

Wavelet to DCT transcoding provides inter-operability between standards using the two transforms for encoding. Transcoding in transform domain avoids inverse transform and re-transform operations and saves computation. In this paper, we propose new algorithms for transcoding wavelet coefficients to block DCT coefficients. In the first step, the wavelet coefficients are transformed into upsampled DCT coefficients. Subsequently, these trans-formed coefficients are synthesized in the block DCT space for transcoding. The proposed approach restricts all operations in the DCT domain that makes filtering involved in the synthesis process computationally efficient. The proposed technique could be used by the block DCT based services when the input is available as wavelet coefficients.     

Block DCT to wavelet transcoding in transform domain

The Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) to wavelet transcoding provides input for several wavelet-based post-processing techniques of the DCT-coded image/video signals. Transcoding in domain transform avoids inverse transform and retransform operations and saves computation. In this paper, we propose a new technique for transcoding the DCT blocks to wavelet coefficients directly in the transform domain. We perform filtering, IDCT and downsampling operations in a single combined step. The proposed technique achieves the same computational result as that of a spatial domain technique. The transcoding matrices used in the proposed technique are found to satisfy certain symmetric and sparse properties, which are exploited to reduce the computational cost. As the number of zeros in the DCT coefficients is significantly higher compared to the spatial domain, computational cost reduces significantly. Also, with the proposed technique, it is possible to speedup the operation by ignoring some elements in the filtering matrices whose magnitudes are smaller than a threshold value. We demonstrate the application of the proposed transcoding for deblocking of the DCT-coded images in wavelet domain.
