- Abstract
Abstract In H.264/AVC, 4 × 4 discrete cosine transform (DCT) is performed on the residual signals after intra prediction for decorrelation. Actually, residual blocks with different prediction modes exhibit different frequency characteristics. Therefore, the fixed transform matrix cannot match the energetic distribution of residual signals very well, which degrades the decorrelation performance. Fortunately, the energetic distributions of residual blocks with the same mode are relatively coincident, which makes it possible to train a universally good Karhunen–Loève transform (KLT) matrix for each mode. In this paper, an optimal frequency matching (OFM) algorithm is proposed to train KLT matrices for residual blocks and nine KLT matrices corresponding to nine prediction modes of 4 × 4 intra blocks are trained. Experimental results show that KLT with trained matrices yields a persistent gain over H.264 using 4 × 4 DCT with an average peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) enhancement of 0.22dB and a maximum enhancement of 0.33dB.
