[]
This class stores coded (compressed) code-blocks with their associated rate-distortion statistics. This object should always contain all the compressed data of the code-block. It is applicable to the encoder engine only. Some data of the coded-block is stored in the super class, see CodedCBlk.
<p>The rate-distortion statistics (i.e. R-D slope) is stored for valid
points only. The set of valid points is determined by the entropy coder
engine itself. Normally they are selected so as to lye in a convex hull,
which can be achived by using the 'selectConvexHull' method of this class,
but some other strategies might be employed.</p><p>The rate (in bytes) for each truncation point (valid or not) is stored
in the 'truncRates' array. The rate of a truncation point is the total
number of bytes in 'data' (see super class) that have to be decoded to
reach the truncation point.</p><p>The slope (reduction of distortion divided by the increase in rate) at
each of the valid truncation points is stored in 'truncSlopes'.</p><p>The index of each valid truncation point is stored in 'truncIdxs'. The
index should be interpreted in the following way: a valid truncation point
at position 'n' has the index 'truncIdxs[n]', the rate
'truncRates[truncIdxs[n]]' and the slope 'truncSlopes[n]'. The arrays
'truncIdxs' and 'truncRates' have at least 'nVldTrunc' elements. The
'truncRates' array has at least 'nTotTrunc' elements.</p><p>In addition the 'isTermPass' array contains a flag for each truncation
point (valid and non-valid ones) that tells if the pass is terminated or
not. If this variable is null then it means that no pass is terminated,
except the last one which always is.</p><p>The compressed data is stored in the 'data' member variable of the super
class.</p>
public class CBlkRateDistStats : CodedCBlk
Name | Description |
---|---|
CBlkRateDistStats() | Creates a new CBlkRateDistStats object without allocating any space for 'truncRates', 'truncSlopes', 'truncDists' and 'truncIdxs' or 'data'. |
CBlkRateDistStats(int, int, int, byte[], int[], double[], bool[], int, bool) | Creates a new CBlkRateDistStats object and initializes the valid truncation points, their rates and their slopes, from the 'rates' and 'dist' arrays. The 'rates', 'dist' and 'termp' arrays must contain the rate (in bytes), the reduction in distortion (from nothing coded) and the flag indicating if termination is used, respectively, for each truncation point.
|
Name | Description |
---|---|
isTermPass | Array of flags indicating terminated passes (valid or non-valid truncation points). |
nROIcoeff | The number of ROI coefficients in the code-block |
nROIcp | Number of ROI coding passes |
nTotTrunc | The total number of truncation points |
nVldTrunc | The number of valid truncation points |
sb | The subband to which the code-block belongs |
truncDists | The distortion for each truncation point (valid and non-valid ones) |
truncIdxs | The indices of the valid truncation points, in increasing order. |
truncRates | The rate (in bytes) for each truncation point (valid and non-valid ones) |
truncSlopes | The negative of the rate-distortion slope for each valid truncation point |
Name | Description |
---|---|
ToString() | Returns the contents of the object in a string. This is used for debugging. |
selectConvexHull(int[], double[], bool[], int, bool) | Compute the rate-distorsion slopes and selects those that lie in a convex hull. It will compute the slopes, select the ones that form the convex hull and initialize the 'truncIdxs' and 'truncSlopes' arrays, as well as 'nVldTrunc', with the selected truncation points. It will also initialize 'truncRates' and 'isTermPass' arrays, as well as 'nTotTrunc', with all the truncation points (selected or not).
