Linux/DRA746: How to get orignal w/h from stream header

hongbo gao
Intellectual 550 points
Part Number: DRA746

Tool/software: Linux

Hi Ram, 

I can get w/h from parsing stream header as show below.

1. set decodeHeader of IVIDDEC3_DynamicParams to XDM_PARSE_HEADER

2. call XDM_SETPARAMS

3. call XDM_GETSTATUS and the correct w/h are stored in outputHeight/outputWidth

But w/h i got are aligned in step 3.

240X180 is aligned to 240*192, which is not expected.

So how to get original width and hegiht?

    Hi Gao,
    For which decoder you are seeing the height getting aligned?

    HI Gao,
    Can you please share a small dump of your stream. I don't have a stream with this resolution.

    I do some tests for mpeg4 decoder, and i find mpeg4 decoder returns the original width and height to application, not like 264 does.

    Hi Ram,

    I attach this mp4, you can do some further check with this file

    Hi Ram,
    and the same as 1080P, 264 decoder will return 1920x1088 parsing from stream header instead of 1920x1080

    Hi Gao,

    I have attached the Elecard analyzer snapshot for this stream, It looks decoder respects pic_height_in_map_units_minus1 while deriving the frame_height and also respects crop information to  provide 180 as output video.

    I will let you know once I confirm with codec team.

    Hi Gao,

    The above post from Ram is correct. Its with respect to H.264 standard.

    The streams encoded with frame_cropping_flag will be always aligned. If the frame_cropping_flag is disabled then we will get the actual width & height. In the shared stream, actual Height can be calculated from:

    actual_height = (pic_height_in_map_units_minus1 + 1) - (2 * frame_crop_bottom_flag)

                          = (11Mbs + 1) - (2*6)

                          = 12MBs(192 pixels) - (12)

                          = 180 pixels.

    Similarly for HD (1920x1080)

    actual_height =  1088 - (2 * 4)

                          = 1080.

    Hi Prashanth,

    Thank you for your answer.

    The above post is how to calculate original width and height from elecard streamEye.

    I wonder how to get original w/h from stream header, according to IVIDDEC3_Status struct?

    Mastermind 8775 points

    Hi Gao,

    Yes, this is how the actual Resolution is calculated in H.264. To be specific,

    if(frame_cropping_flag){

    width = ((pic_width_in_mbs_minus1 +1)*16) - frame_crop_left_offset*2 - frame_crop_right_offset*2;
    height= ((2 - frame_mbs_only_flag)* (pic_height_in_map_units_minus1 +1) * 16) - (frame_crop_top_offset * 2) - (frame_crop_bottom_offset * 2);

    }

    When frame_cropping_flag is equal to 0, the following values shall be inferred: frame_crop_left_offset = 0, frame_crop_right_offset = 0, frame_crop_top_offset = 0, and frame_crop_bottom_offset = 0.

    The above is according to H.264 Spec.

    Hi Prashanth,
    The answer post above means I should parse stream header by myself to get frame_crop_left_offset/frame_crop_right_offset /frame_crop_top_offset/frame_crop_bottom_offset/pic_width_in_mbs_minus1/frame_cropping_flag. And I cannot get actual resolution from 264 decoder directly?

    Hi Prashanth,
    The answer post above is telling me how to get original width and height from sps/pps, which application can parse using ffmpeg thirdparty library.
    But I wonder how to get orginal width and height directly without parsing sps/pps, because I already using ti 264 decoder to parse stream header.
    I seems ti 264 decoder does not support this feature?

    Best Regards.

    Hi Gao,
    I am looking on the same. I will get back to you.

    Hi Gao,

    By analysing more on this I got few points to share with you.

    As per H.264 Spec. XDM_GETSTATUS call will give the aligned width & height. The aligned resolution is needed for buffer allocation.

    The Actual Width & Height can be found from ,  outArgs->displayBufs.activeFrameRegion after decoding the full frame.

    activeFrameRegion (http://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/sdo_sb/targetcontent/xdais/latest/docs/html/struct_i_v_i_d_e_o2___buf_desc.html#details)

    Please refer Appendix A (Picture Format in H.264 User Guide). Attaching the snap shot of UserGuide here.

    Hi Gao,
    Some more information on why it returns aligned resolution.

    Application will do XDM_GETBUFINFO control call to know the buffer requirements. Codec will return the aligned width & height. Application has to allocate the buffers for the aligned resolution to avoid Buffer corruption. If in case buffers are allocated for actual width & height, buffers will be corrupted and no output will be seen.

    That's the reason XDM_GESTATUS will have aligned resolution. And the actual resolution will be returned at outArgs->displayBufs.activeFrameRegion when the frame is ready to display.

    Hi Prashanth,
    I try to get original resolution as you tell above, sometimes mOutArgs->displayBufs.bufDesc[0].activeFrameRegion returns invalid value at started. The logs are below as show, and I get the right resolution until input frame count is 13.

    ================================

    So Whether 264 decoder sets original resolution to outputWidth/outputHeight of IVIDDEC3_Status and application do the aligned job, which as mpeg4/mpeg2 decoder do.

    Best Regards.

    Hi Gao,

    That might be possible because, the displayDelay    = IVIDDEC3_DISPLAY_DELAY_AUTO; Here the buffers held by the codec are given to display w.r.t display delay. It can hold up-to 16 frames when set to IVIDDEC3_DISPLAY_DELAY_AUTO.

    Can you set it to IVIDDEC3_DECODE_ORDER ? It should return the exact resolution after decoding first frame.

    Hi Prashanth,
    Setting displayDelay to IVIDDEC3_DECODE_ORDER means output frames are out of order, which I do not expect.
    So, I try to get original resolution using ffmpeg third party and it works well for me now.
    Thanks for you supports.

    Best Regards

    Hi Gao,

    Yes, it would display out of order. This is just to get the actual frame resolution after decoding first frame. Later on its recommended to set display delay as AUTO. Thanks. Can we close this thread if its answered the query?
