Fast Dependent Quantization Using Trellis Pruning, Forward Context Adaptation and Vectorization

Adam Wieckowski;Christian Stoffers;Heiko Schwarz;Benjamin Bross;Detlev Marpe

2024 32nd European Signal Processing Conference (EUSIPCO)
Year: 2024 | Conference Paper |
Dependent quantization (DQ) is one of the key coding tools in the Versatile Video Coding (VVC) standard. DQ employs two scalar quantizers, with the per-coefficient quantizer selection being governed by a parity-driven 4-state state machine. As the design is normatively enforced, usage of DQ requires a rate-distortion optimized quantization (RDOQ) with a per coefficient decision and state update, e...Show More

Modern hybrid video codecs like Versatile Video Coding (VVC) heavily rely on transform coding tools. Given a prediction signal at the encoder, the residual is transformed using trigonometric transforms. Rate-distortion-optimized quantization (RDOQ) and entropy coding of the transformed residual is well-understood due to the orthogonality and the energy compaction of these transforms. Within this s...Show More
