Note: The conformance is designed to test the decoder accuracy at the decoder output. Any post processing (e.g. subsequent quantization) is out of scope. Hence, you can do the following: a) You test your decoder output prior to any post-quantization (this applies, when your decoder output has a precision of more than 16 bit (e.g. 24 bit fixed point or floating point). b) You claim to be conform for less than k=16. In that case, you explicitly have to state k (k=16 is default). Hope this helps, Ralph -- Dipl.-Ing.

Dear Julien, the file does not start with the sync word. Hence, the LOAS sync word needs to be recognized by a sync seeking process. Although this is might come unexpected, it is rather common in case of a streaming format. With regard to these sequences, the sync routine can be rather easy (always skip the first x bytes :-) ). > What are these streams made of? What is their audio content (AAC, > AAC+SBR,...)? The file content can be estimated based on the file name, see ftp://mpaudconf:adif2mp4@ftp.iis.fraunhofer.de/mpeg4audio-conformance/doc/fileNameConventions.html for details > > - Moreover, I have read in the mailing list archives that LOAS/LATM > format was not compatible with ADTS header.

How can they be more or less compatible? Anyway, the support of certain streaming formats or file formats usually depends on the application. Best regards, Ralph -- Dipl.-Ing.

You started to ask for players supporting ADIF, later you disclosed that you are interested in decoding content stored in the mp4 file format, and here you refer to Layer-1,-2 and -3. Assuming that you are interested in decoding MPEG-2 AAC content stored in an mp4 file, please note that the correct objectTypeIndication is, depending on the profile: 0x66 Audio ISO/IEC 13818-7 Main Profile 0x67 Audio ISO/IEC 13818-7 LowComplexity Profile 0x68 Audio ISO/IEC 13818-7 Scaleable Sampling Rate Profile Note further, that in ISO/IEC 4496-1, subclause "2.6.7.2 Semantics", the following is stated: "For values of DecoderConfigDescriptor.objectTypeIndication that refer to streams complying with ISO/IEC 13818-7 the decoder specific information consists of the ADIF -header if it is present (or none if it is not present) and an access unit is a ?raw_data_block()? as defined in ISO/IEC 13818-7."

The handling of corrupt data is for MPEG out of scope. Background: The availability of errors depends on the application - there might be applications that do not have to deal with errors in the bitstream payload, while others have to. However: MPEG provides means to detect and even correct errors, and to exploit the derived data as much as possible. The tools of choise are the error resilient bitstream syntax (that subdivides the bitstream payload in several error sensitivity categories), the usage of the EP tool (that provides flexible error detection and correction means) and the application of the error resilience tools available for distinct codecs (particularly for AAC). Possible errors depend on the application scenario. In general, any bit might be corrupt. In practice, one might not want to conceal any frame just if a single bit error occurred. Assume that each frame would have a single bit error (random BER 10^-3 at a frame length of 1000 bit): When applying only frame concealment this would lead to silence. Having a closer look into the bitsteam you will find that bit errors on certain places might cause severe audio artifacts, while bit errors on other places might be negligible. An advanced system hence might want to render the content of erroneous bitsteams ... A first step towards this effort is of course that the decoder can handle any possible corrupt bitstream payload.

More specific identifiers can be used to identify precise versions of specifications providing more detail. This brand should not be used as the major brand; this base file format should be derived into another specification to be used. There is therefore no defined normal file extension, or mime type assigned to this brand, nor definition of the minor version when ?isom? is the major brand." In ISO/IEC 14496-14 you find in clause "4 File Identification": "The brand ?mp41? is defined as identifying version 1 of this specification (ISO/IEC 14496-1:2001), and the brand ?mp42? identifies this version of the specification; at least one of these brands shall appear in the compatible-brands list in the file-type box, in all files conforming to this specification."

First 128 bits of the second individual_channel_stream() in the channel_pair_element() must be protected. ? All information in any program_config_element() or data_stream_element() must be protected. For any element where the specified protection length of 128 or 192 bits exceeds its actual length, the element is zero padded to the specified protection length for CRC calculation. The id_syn_ele bits shall be excluded from CRC protection. If the length of a CPE is shorter than 192 bits, zero data are appended to achieve the length of 192 bits. Furthermore, if the first ICS of the CPE ends at the Nth bit (N<192), the first (192 ? N) bits of the second ICS are protected twice, each time in order of their appearance. For example, if the second ICS starts at the 190th bit of CPE, the first 3 bits of the second ICS are protected twice. Finally, if the length of the second ICS is shorter than 128 bits, zero data are appended to achieve the length of 128 bits. > 2) adts_buffer_fullness > > In page 45, the mechanism of generating adts_buffer_fullness is > described.

There is no reason to keep every audio frame at the same length. Padding using fill_element()'s is usually only performed on the encoder site when otherwise an underrun of the decoder input buffer would occur. Best regards, Ralph -- Dipl.-Ing.

The conformance requirements for particular sequences are defined in ISO/IEC14496-4. The reasons, why you do not achive bit exactness might be due to another compiler, another computer plattform or even due to the fact, that the reference waveforms were not generated by the reference software decoder.

One could state the facts also somewhat differently: The intention of the CRC error detection is not to save the effort of decoding the audio frame beforehand in case of errors, but to prevent the output of corrupted audio data afterwards, particularly in cases where the error could not be detected by the parser. A prominent example for this would be a bit error in the MSB of the global gain. Best regards, Ralph -- Dipl.-Ing.

Hence for simple profile and simple object combination, the value should be 0x01. But in of the sequence i found that it is 0x02 for the same combination. Though that sequence donot use any tool outside simple profile but still this value is 0x02. To be more clear on problem, as per my understanding of this as 0x01, i am not reading flags/header related to 0x02 (like quarter_sample). Though value of these headers conform to simple profile (eg quarter_sample =0) in this sequence, but since i ma not expecting this, so my decoder failed to decode the same.

All tracks contain "samples" (perhaps not the best term, but there we are). A sample in a video track is a frame, for example. A sample in an audio track is typically a frame also (of compressed sampled audio). A sample is located by being in a chunk, and having a size. You find the offset in the chunk by adding the sample sizes of the preceding samples in the same chunk. A sample in a hint track is a set of hints -- packet builder instructions.

This tool will help in ploting motion vector, MB modes, MB size, and many of them. This tool is comercial but it has evalution version and you can only use for encoded outputs smaller than 200 frames. I think it can help you.

WMP doesn't want to play it. It doesn't play in graphedit either although I tried various (proper) combinations of filters.

Let N be the frame size (N can be any reasonable number, need not have to be 1024). If there are M single bit errors per frame. Then. the rms error will be < 2^(-15)/sqrt(12) if M/N < 1/12. Consider this examples where rms test is passing for k=16. 1) N = 1024, M = 85 , max error = 1 rms error = 8.79244E-06 ok. Even for more than one bit error RMS test will pass !. Consider the 2 bit case, 2) N = 1024 , M = 9 , max error = 3 rms error = 8.58307E-06 ok. For more bit errors, the acceptance should be limited by second criterion.

Note: The conformance is designed to test the decoder accuracy at the decoder output. Any post processing (e.g. subsequent quantization) is out of scope. Hence, you can do the following: a) You test your decoder output prior to any post-quantization (this applies, when your decoder output has a precision of more than 16 bit (e.g. 24 bit fixed point or floating point). b) You claim to be conform for less than k=16. In that case, you explicitly have to state k (k=16 is default). Hope this helps, Ralph -- Dipl.-Ing.

I have read the ITU-T H.264, there are mb_type stated on table Table 7?13 and sub_mb_type[ mbPartIdx ] on table 7-17. I wonder if these are what I've been looking for?

For example, under dos/windows you can just use the copy command, while under linux cat would do just fine. As an example extract all image files in an empty directory and run the command "copy /b *.yuv ..\videoseq.yuv" within a dos window, or "cat *.yuv > ../videoseq.yuv" under linux. Note that I am using the parent directory for creating the concatenated sequence to avoid recursion issues. Obviously you can make more intelligent use of these or other commands, but I am sure this will be just fine for you for the time being. Btw, note that I am emphasizing on the RAW format since this would not work if your source is in well known image compression formats such as jpg, gif, or even bmp.

Your motion estimation module can generate what it believes is best for your requirements (i.e., quality, speed, complexity, power etc). For example, a module may select to only perform and generate 16x16 motion vectors. This could penalize coding efficiency but would still be valid. A different module could spit out all possible information for all modes, or only a "final" best determined by a mode decision process undertaken within the module. Note that this information (modes and motion vector values) can be passed to other modules in any form you wish (i.e., in actual numbers). The transformation to semantics and entropy coding as specified in the standard for coding modes and motion vectors in reality needs to be performed at the very last stage, i.e. within your syntax/entropy coding module and you do not need to "code" this information. Note that there are at times benefits in knowing the number of bits that may be required for coding such information (i.e. for performing RD optimal coding decisions), but nothing is forcing you to (even in such a case) output information in such a way. Best regards, Alexis PS. I would suggest checking the reference encoder and the encode_one_macroblock function to see how this process is done in that software. _____ From: mp4-tech-bounces@lists.mpegif.org [mailto:mp4-tech-bounces@lists.mpegif.org] On Behalf Of Mario Tapilouw Sent: Thursday, December 14, 2023 7:06 PM To: mp4-tech@lists.mpegif.org Subject: [Mp4-tech] standardization of h.264 hardware motion estimationoutput Dear All, I am developing a hardware motion estimation for H.264.

To be precise: The difference between the values of adts_buffer_fullness of two consecutive frames tells the difference between current frame size and average frame size. Any further history is out of scope. Consequently, when the frame size is constant, the values of adts_buffer_fullness are always the same. > When constant bit rate, should it be used to predict > when transmission of an access unit will finish? Again, is that what > you mean by "the buffer fullness is rather for decoder input buffer > control on a constant rate channel"? It should be used to derive the time to start playback, i.e. when in the worst cases the decoder input buffer will not run dry (this may happen, if you start playback to soon and the encoder delivers a rather long frame), nor the decoder input buffer will overflow (this may happen, if you start playback tool late, and the encoder delivers a couple of rather short frames. The latter issue might be somewhat academically, since the decoder input buffer of most implementations is larger than required. Anyhow, the delay increases when playback is started later than necessary. An adts_buffer_fullness of 0 means, that the bit reservoir is empty. In that case the encoder may send only frames being equal in length or shorter than the average. Hence, the decoder should start playback immediately. An adts_buffer_fullness of 6144- means, that the bit reservoir is full. In that case the encoder may spend bits by sending frames being longer than the average. Hence, the decoder needs to wait a certain time before it starts playback (it needs to wait until it has received further bits), since otherwise it might not have the next frame ready (since it is not yet received completely), when it should. In general, it is all about writing and reading bits in the decoder input buffer. In the case of a constant bitrate channel, writing happens on a continuous basis. Reading happens burst-wise, where a bust is a frame. The frame length may vary, so some care has to be taken, that the bits to be read are always present, and that the available buffer (decoder input buffer) is always capable to store all the bits it receives. > > 3) Also, may passing adts_buffer_fullness to decoder have another > purpose, which is to synchronise the encoder's and decoder's clocks? > If constant bit rate, as adts_buffer_fullness and frame_size are both > known to decoder, after the decoder removes an access unit, it can > compare its actual buffer fullness with the encoded > adts_buffer_fullness so as to figure out whether its clock is too slow > or fast. Clock synchronization is rather not the main intention of the transmission of adts_buffer_fullness is. While it is possible, the transmitted value is not precise enough. Hence, a synchronization per hardware (e.g. using ISDN bitclock) is preferable. > > 4) Lastly, what is the initial value of adts_buffer_fullness? There is no such thing as an initial value of adts_buffer_fullness. If the encoder starts with a full bit reservoir, the buffer fullness will have its maximum value (6144-) in the first frame. This is commonly the case, if it permits the encoder from the the start to spend more bits if necessary. > > Thanks again. You are welcome.

These include motion within the sequence, resolution, distance between references, complexity/power requirements of the device you are implementing, motion estimation (ME) and mode decision algorithms you may be using etc. Different ME schemes for example may be invariant and even indifferent of the search range used as well (this applies mainly to software implementations) primarily in terms of implementation complexity. Note that for the JM, the search window is in fact a moving window which has its center adjusted according to the motion vector predictor used for coding. That essentially considerably increases the "dynamic" range of motion that one may find when encoding a sequence. Btw, the number 16 is only an example and it not really a suggested value. Old JVT common conditions applicable to QCIF and CIF resolutions considered a search range of +-32, but that increased based on resolution later on. Finally, there is an old paper by Gonzales et al. discussing some issues relating to motion search range. Even though this was primarily targeted to MPEG-2, it still has some relevancy with MPEG-4 AVC/H.264. Mean absolute Error or Mean absolute Difference (MAD) are just normalized versions of the SAE/SAD. That is you are basically dividing the value of SAD with the number of pixels that exist within a block. As you can understand there is no reason to perform such a normalization since such would be applied equally among all blocks that you will be searching (this is still the case even for AVC where you have multiple blocks since in general mode decision is performed at the macroblock/subblock level with the same number of pixels). MSE or the equivalent SSE are more complex to compute than SAD due to the multiplication required (this can be compensated using table look up implementations) but also memory. MSE essentially can be seen as the L2 norm of the residual after motion estimation, while MSE can be seen as the L1 norm. Note that unfortunately the MSE does not conform to the Human Visual System (HVS) and therefore there is little benefit in using this while it can also be at times sensitive to noise. On the other hand, some hardware implementations actually provide instructions that can perform SAD operations in a single cycle (i.e., SIMD on generic CPUs). For your reference, the upcoming version (12.0) of the JM will allow you to also use MSE for motion estimation. I am not very clear on what you define as spatial and temporal information. If you are talking about texture/edge characteristics vs. sad values then such may be completely uncorrelated. If however you use older "spatial" information (i.e. you have performed spatial analysis on earlier frames) such could help you characterize the spatial information of future frames.

By using NumberReferenceFrames=1 only 1 reference is available in your system and it is used for both list0 and list1. As you can understand that would severely reduce the efficacy of coding B slices. Obviously also the performance of using B slices strongly relates to the sequence you are encoding. For example, sequences with very high/chaotic motion may not benefit as much from using B slices. Note that also the distance between P slices increases which makes the motion estimation process a bit more difficult for those frames. Bitrate target may also affect considerably the efficacy of using B slices. Finally, note that the JM uses additional concepts (i.e. lagrangian multipliers, thresholding, rounding etc) which behave differently for different slice types and you should not expect to see the same PSNR for these different slice types. Of course you can try to adjust these if that is your target.
