image-processing - 从编码图像和视频中提取 DCT 系数

Question

有没有办法从编码的图像和视频中轻松提取 DCT 系数(和量化参数)？任何解码器软件都必须使用它们来解码 block DCT 编码的图像和视频。所以我很确定解码器知道它们是什么。有没有办法将它们暴露给使用解码器的任何人？

我正在实现一些直接在 DCT 域中工作的视频质量评估算法。目前，我的大部分代码都使用 OpenCV，所以如果有人知道使用该框架的解决方案，那就太好了。我不介意使用其他库(也许是 libjpeg，但这似乎仅适用于静止图像)，但我主要关心的是尽可能少地进行特定于格式的工作(我不想重新发明轮子并编写我自己的解码器)。我希望能够打开 OpenCV 可以打开的任何视频/图像(H.264、MPEG、JPEG 等)，如果它是 block DCT 编码的，则可以获取 DCT 系数。

在最坏的情况下，我知道我可以编写自己的 block DCT 代码，通过它运行解压缩的帧/图像，然后我会回到 DCT 域。这不是一个优雅的解决方案，我希望我能做得更好。

目前，我使用相当常见的 OpenCV 样板打开图像:

IplImage *image = cvLoadImage(filename);
// Run quality assessment metric

我用于视频的代码同样微不足道:

CvCapture *capture = cvCaptureFromAVI(filename);    
while (cvGrabFrame(capture))
{
    IplImage *frame = cvRetrieveFrame(capture);
    // Run quality assessment metric on frame
}
cvReleaseCapture(&capture);

在这两种情况下，我都得到了 BGR 格式的 3 channel IplImage。有什么办法也可以获得 DCT 系数吗？

Answer 1

嗯，我做了一些阅读，我原来的问题似乎是一厢情愿的例子。

基本上，不可能从 H.264 视频帧中获取 DCT 系数，原因很简单，H.264 doesn't use DCT .它使用不同的变换(整数变换)。接下来，该变换的系数不一定会逐帧变化——H.264 更智能，因为它将帧分成片。应该可以通过特殊的解码器获得这些系数，但我怀疑 OpenCV 是否会向用户公开它。

对于 JPEG，情况要好一些。正如我所怀疑的那样，libjpeg为您公开 DCT 系数。我写了一个小应用程序来证明它有效(源代码在最后)。它使用来自每个 block 的 DC 项制作新图像。因为 DC 项等于 block 平均值(在适当缩放后)，DC 图像是输入 JPEG 图像的下采样版本。
