为了在分布式视频编码(DVC)中取得更好的压缩性能,将校验节点的合并和分裂进行有机结合,提出了一种码率自适应LDPC(RALDPC)编码新方法。该方法首先基于PEG算法构造高压缩比LDPC码字;然后由行均匀分裂得到低压缩比码字;最后通过合并或分裂校验矩阵对应的行来适度调整码率。为保证码字性能,还提出了校验节点合并的3个限制条件,并基于RALDPC提出了一种码率自适应DVC编码方案。实验结果表明,与当前基于Turbo码的DVC方案相比,在原信息和边信息高度或中度相关时,编码性能提高了0.1~0.7dB。
In order to achieve better rate distortion (RD) performance in distributed video coding (DVC), a new rate- adaptive low density parity check (RALDPC) coding algorithm is proposed. Firstly, a high compression ratio code is constructed based on progressive edge-growth (PEG) algorithm. Then low compression ratio codes are obtained using row splitting algorithm. The rate can be well adjusted by merging and splitting the parity-check matrix rows. And three restriction conditions for merging check nodes are proposed in order to obtain good performance codes. Based on the RALDPC, a rate adaptive DVC algorithm is proposed, which can achieve better RD performance about 0.1-0.TdB compared to DVC algorithm based on the popular Turbo codes, when the correlation between the original and side information is medium or high.
