It applies to version 16.4 of the software. \end{abstract} \tableofcontents \listoftables \section{General Information} Reference software is being made available to provide a reference implementation of the HEVC standard being developed by the Joint Collaborative Team on Video Coding (JCT-VC) regrouping experts from ITU-T SG 16 and ISO/IEC SC29 WG11. One of the main goals of the reference software is to provide a basis upon which to conduct experiments in order to determine which coding tools provide desired coding performance. It is not meant to be a particularly efficient implementation of anything, and one may notice its apparent unsuitability for a particular use. It should not be construed to be a reflection of how complex a production-quality implementation of a future HEVC standard would be. This document aims to provide guidance on the usage of the reference software. It is widely suspected to be incomplete and suggestions for improvements are welcome. Such suggestions and general inquiries may be sent to the general JCT-VC email reflector on \url{jct-vc@lists.rwth-aachen.de} (registration required). \subsection*{Bug reporting} Bugs should be reported on the issue tracker set up at \url{http://hevc.kw.bbc.co.uk/trac/} \section{Installation and compilation} The software may be retrieved from one of the following SVN servers (mirrored): \begin{itemize} \item \url{https://hevc.hhi.fraunhofer.de/svn/svn_HEVCSoftware/} \item \url{svn://hevc.kw.bbc.co.uk/svn/jctvc-hm/} \end{itemize} Table~\ref{tab:project-files} enumerates various project files that are provided for development environments. \begin{table}[ht] \footnotesize \caption{Available project files} \label{tab:project-files} \centering \begin{tabular}{ll} \hline \thead{Environment} & \thead{Location of project file} \\ % Environment & Location of project file \\ \hline MS Visual Studio 8 & build/HM_vc8.sln \\ MS Visual Studio 9 & build/HM_vc9.sln \\ MS Visual Studio 10 & build/HM_vc10.sln \\ Xcode & HM.xcodeproj \\ Linux & build/linux/makefile \\ \hline \end{tabular} \end{table} For encoding large picture sizes (like UHDTV) it is strongly advised to build 64-bit binaries and to use a 64-bit OS. This will allow the software to use more than 2GB of RAM. %%%% %%%% %%%% \section{Using the encoder} \begin{verbatim} TAppEncoder [--help] [-c config.cfg] [--parameter=value] \end{verbatim} \begin{table}[ht] \footnotesize \centering \begin{tabular}{lp{0.5\textwidth}} \hline \thead{Option} & \thead{Description} \\ \hline \texttt{--help} & Prints parameter usage. \\ \texttt{-c} & Defines configuration file to use.

Some parameters are also supported by shorthand "--\em{opt}~\emph{value}". These are shown in brackets after the parameter name in the tables of this document\\ \hline \end{tabular} \end{table} Sample configuration files are provided in the cfg/ folder. Parameters are defined by the last value encountered on the command line. Therefore if a setting is set via a configuration file, and then a subsequent command line parameter changes that same setting, the command line parameter value will be used. \subsection{GOP structure table} \label{sec:gop-structure} Defines the cyclic GOP structure that will be used repeatedly throughout the sequence. The table should contain GOPSize lines, named Frame1, Frame2, etc. The frames are listed in decoding order, so Frame1 is the first frame in decoding order, Frame2 is the second and so on. Among other things, the table specifies all reference pictures kept by the decoder for each frame. This includes pictures that are used for reference for the current picture as well as pictures that will be used for reference in the future. The encoder will not automatically calculate which pictures have to be kept for future references, they must be specified. Note that some specified reference frames for pictures encoded in the very first GOP after an IDR frame might not be available. This is handled automatically by the encoder, so the reference pictures can be given in the GOP structure table as if there were infinitely many identical GOPs before the current one. Each line in the table contains the parameters used for the corresponding frame, separated by whitespace: \begin{itemize} \item[]\textbf{Type}: Slice type, can be either I, P or B. \item[]\textbf{POC}: Display order of the frame within a GOP, ranging from 1 to GOPSize. \item[]\textbf{QPOffset}: QP offset is added to the QP parameter to set the final QP value to use for this frame. \item[]\textbf{QPFactor}: Weight used during rate distortion optimization. Higher values mean lower quality and less bits. Typical range is between 0.3 and 1. \item[]\textbf{tcOffsetDiv2}: In-loop deblocking filter parameter tcOffsetDiv2 is added to the base parameter LoopFilterTcOffset_div2 to set the final tc_offset_div2 parameter for this picture signalled in the slice segment header. The final value of tc_offset_div2 shall be an integer number in the range $-6..6$. \item[]\textbf{betaOffsetDiv2}: In-loop deblocking filter parameter betaOffsetDiv2 is added to the base parameter LoopFilterBetaOffset_div2 to set the final beta_offset_div2 parameter for this picture signalled in the slice segment header. The final value of beta_offset_div2 shall be an integer number in the range $-6..6$. \item[]\textbf{temporal_id}: Temporal layer of the frame. A frame cannot predict from a frame with a higher temporal id. If a frame with higher temporal IDs is listed among a frame's reference pictures, it is not used, but is kept for possible use in future frames. \item[]\textbf{num_ref_pics_active}: Size of reference picture lists L0 and L1, indicating how many reference pictures in each direction that are used during coding. \item[]\textbf{num_ref_pics}: The number of reference pictures kept for this frame. This includes pictures that are used for reference for the current picture as well as pictures that will be used for reference in the future. \item[]\textbf{reference_pictures}: A space-separated list of num_ref_pics integers, specifying the POC of the reference pictures kept, relative the POC of the current frame. The picture list shall be ordered, first with negative numbers from largest to smallest, followed by positive numbers from smallest to largest (e.g. \verb|-1 -3 -5 1 3|). Note that any pictures not supplied in this list will be discarded and therefore not available as reference pictures later. \item[]\textbf{predict}: Defines the value of the syntax element inter_ref_pic_set_prediction_flag. A value of 0 indicates that the reference picture set is encoded without inter RPS prediction and the subsequent parameters deltaRIdx$-1$, deltaRPS, num_ref_idcs and Reference_idcs are ignored and do not need to be present. A value of 1 indicates that the reference picture set is encoded with inter prediction RPS using the subsequent parameters deltaRIdx$-1$, deltaRPS, num_ref_idcs and Reference_idcs in the line. A value of 2 indicates that the reference picture set is encoded with inter RPS but only the deltaRIdx$-1$ parameters is needed. The deltaRPS, num_ref_idcs and Reference_idcs values are automatically derived by the encoder based on the POC and refPic values of the current line and the RPS pointed to by the deltaRIdx$-1$ parameters. \item[]\textbf{deltaRIdx$-1$}: The difference between the index of the curent RPS and the predictor RPS minus 1. \item[]\textbf{deltaRPS}: The difference between the POC of the predictor RPS and POC the current RPS. \item[]\textbf{num_ref_idcs}: The number of ref_idcs to encode for the current RPS. The value is equal to the value of num_ref_pics of the predictor RPS plus 1. \item[]\textbf{reference_idcs}: A space-separated list of num_ref_idcs integers, specifying the ref idcs of the inter RPS prediction. The value of ref_idcs may be 0, 1 or 2 indicating that the reference picture is a reference picture used by the current picture, a reference picture used for future picture or not a reference picture anymore, respectively. The first num_ref_pics of ref_idcs correspond to the Reference pictures in the predictor RPS. The last ref_idcs corresponds to the predictor picture. \end{itemize} For example, consider the coding structure of Figure~\ref{fig:gop-example}. This coding structure is of size 4. The pictures are listed in decoding order. Frame1 shall therefore describe picture with $\textrm{POC}=4$. It references picture 0, and therefore has $-4$ as a reference picture. Similarly, Frame2 has a POC of 2, and since it references pictures 0 and 4, its reference pictures are listed as \verb|-2 2|. Frame3 is a special case: even though it only references pictures with POC 0 and 2, it also needs to include the picture with POC 4, which must be kept in order to be used as a reference picture in the future. The reference picture list for Frame3 therefore becomes \verb|-1 1 3|. Frame4 has a POC of 3 and its list of reference pictures is \verb|-1 1|. \begin{figure}[h] \caption{A GOP structure} \label{fig:gop-example} \centering \includegraphics[width=0.7\textwidth]{gop-structure-example} \end{figure} Inter RPS prediction may be used for Frame2, Frame3 and Frame4, hence the predict parameter is set to 1 for these frames. Frame2 uses Frame1 as the predictor hence the deltaRIdx$-1$ is 0. Similarly for Frame3 and Frame4 which use Frame2 and Frame3 as predictors, respectively. The deltaRPS is equal to the POC of the predictor minus the POC of the current picture, therefore the deltaRPS for Frame2 is $4 -2 = 2$, for Frame3 is $2 - 1 = 1$ and for Frame4 is $1 - 3 = -2$. In Frame2, reference pictures with POC 0 and 2 are used, so the reference idcs for Frame2 are \verb|1 1| indicating that the reference picture, $-4$, in Frame1 is still a reference picture in Frame2 and Frame1 is also a reference picture in Frame2. The reference idcs for Frame3 are \verb|1 1 1|. The first and second “1”s indicating that the reference pictures "$-2$ $2$" in Frame2 are still reference pictures in Frame3 and the last “1” indicating that Frame2 is also a reference picture in Frame3. In Frame 4, the reference idcs are \verb|0 1 1 0|. The first “0” indicates that the reference pictures “-1” in Frame 3 is no longer a reference picture in Frame4. The next two “1”s indicate that the reference pictures “$1$ $3$” are now reference pictures of Frame4. The final “0” indicates that Frame3 is not a reference picture. In order to specify this to the encoder, the parameters in Table~\ref{tab:gop-example} could be used. \begin{table}[ht] \footnotesize \caption{GOP structure example} \label{tab:gop-example} \centering \begin{tabular}{lrrrr} \hline \thead{} & \thead{Frame1} & \thead{Frame2} & \thead{Frame3} & \thead{Frame4} \\ \hline Type & P & B & B & B \\ POC & 4 & 2 & 1 & 3 \\ QPoffset & 1 & 2 & 3 & 3 \\ QPfactor & 0.5 & 0.5 & 0.5 & 0.5 \\ tcOffsetDiv2 & 0 & 1 & 2 & 2 \\ betaOffsetDiv2 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ temporal_id & 0 & 1 & 2 & 2 \\ num_ref_pics_active & 1 & 1 & 1 & 1 \\ num_ref_pics & 1 & 2 & 3 & 2 \\ reference_pictures & $-$4 & $-$2 2 & $-$1 1 3 & $-$1 1 \\ predict & 0 & 1 & 1 & 1 \\ deltaRIdx$-$1 & & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ deltaRPS & & 2 & 1 & $-$2 \\ num_ref_idcs & & 2 & 3 & 4 \\ reference_idcs & & 1 1 & 1 1 1 & 0 1 1 0 \\ \hline \end{tabular} \end{table} Here, the frames used for prediction have been given higher quality by assigning a lower QP offset. Also, the non-reference frames have been marked as belonging to a higher temporal layer, to make it possible to decode only every other frame. Note: each line should contain information for one frame, so this configuration would be specified as: \begin{verbatim} Frame1: P 4 1 0.5 0 0 0 1 1 -4 0 Frame2: B 2 2 0.5 1 0 1 1 2 -2 2 1 0 2 2 1 1 Frame3: B 1 3 0.5 2 0 2 1 3 -1 1 3 1 0 1 3 1 1 1 Frame4: B 3 3 0.5 2 0 2 1 2 -1 1 1 0 -2 4 0 1 1 0 \end{verbatim} The values of deltaRIdx$-1$, deltaRPS, num_ref_idcs and reference idcs of Frame$K$ can be derived from the POC value of Frame$_K$ and the POC, num_ref_pics and reference_pictures values of Frame$_M$, where $K$ is the index of the RPS to be inter coded and the $M$ is the index of the reference RPS, as follows. \setlength{\algomargin}{2em} \begin{algorithm}[h] \SetKwData{deltaRIdx}{deltaRIdx} \SetKwData{deltaRPS}{deltaRPS} \SetKwData{numrefidcs}{num_ref_idcs} \SetKwData{numrefpics}{num_ref_pics} \SetKwData{referencepictures}{reference_pictures} \SetKwData{referenceidcs}{reference_idcs} \SetKwData{POC}{POC} $\deltaRIdx_K - 1 \leftarrow K - M - 1$ \; $\deltaRPS_K \leftarrow \POC_M - \POC_K$ \; $\numrefidcs_K \leftarrow \numrefpics_M + 1$ \; \For{$j \leftarrow 0$ \KwTo $\numrefpics_M$}{ \For{$i \leftarrow 0$ \KwTo $\numrefidcs_K$}{ \eIf{$\referencepictures_{M,j} + \deltaRPS_K == \referencepictures_{K,i}$}{ \lIf{$\referencepictures_{K,i}$ is used by the current frame}{ $\referenceidcs_{K,j} = 1$} \; \lElse{$\referenceidcs_{K,j} = 2$} \; }{ $\referenceidcs_K[j] = 0$ \; } } } \tcc{$\referencepictures_{M,\numrefpics_M}$ does not exist and is assumed to be 0} \end{algorithm} Note: The above (automatic) generation of the inter RPS parameter values has been integrated into the encoder, and is activated by the value of predict $= 2$ followed by the value of deltaRIdx$-1$, only, as described above. %%%% %%%% %%%% \newgeometry{tmargin=1.6cm,lmargin=1cm,rmargin=1cm,bmargin=1in,nohead} \subsection{Encoder parameters} %% %% File, I/O and source parameters %% Shorthand alternatives for the parameter that can be used on the command line are shown in brackets after the parameter name. \begin{OptionTableNoShorthand}{File, I/O and source parameters.}{tab:fileIO} \Option{InputFile (-i)} & %\ShortOption{-i} & \Default{\NotSet} & Specifies the input video file.

The Linux makefile will compile both the analyser and standard version when the `all' or `everything' target is used (where the latter will also build high-bit-depth executables). \end{document}
