How to set to make the decoder of the demo stop?

When i add omx setp 0 h264vdec filereset_flag disable  ahead omx setp 0 h264vdec infile  in the fread_vdec_fwrite.oms as pasted above, the decoder can exit.

However, the reconstructed file size is smaller than original test sequence size.  （1） When i use h.264 software to decode the bitstream, the frame number is still smaller than original coding frame number and is different from the frame number decoded by TI board using fread_vdec_fwrite.oms script.  （2） the first several rows of pixels over each reconstructed images decoded by TI board are very noisy while those decoded by H.264 software (JM17.0) are more prone to original images.  I guess there is still problem over the script.  Can you help me to find the solutions?

By the way, i edition of my sdk is EZSDK 5_03_01_15.

If you can send me the files which can work well, i would be very appreciate it.  

I notice the configuration over the two script which using template 0 are not the best confiuration (not the high profile). Do you have the avialble configuration files for the configurations which are the default configuration for H.264? 

Looking forward to your reply！ 

Thank you so much! 

Hi, Vimal Jain

      I open the folder under component-sources/omx_05_02_00_30/examples/ti/omx/demos/decode_display/src. I can see the files such as ilclient.c ilcient.h ilcient_utils.c ilcient_utils.h. There is no files about  .omx. Do you mean i should rebuild decode_display  (or use decode_a8host_debug.xv5T under ti-omx folder) and should not use omtb_dm81xxbm_a8host.xv5T for the decoding?

     Thank you so much! 

I wonder whether the demo only support a kind of configuration for the encoder.

 Except for image size, bitrate control related setting such as omx setp 0 h264enc  OMX_TI_IndexParamVideoEncoderPreset eRateControlPreset hq/userdef/hsmq/msmq/default, I found t that even if i change the configuration, such as motion estimation parameters of searching range, the supporting of intraprediction related parameters, the coding results are the same.

Do that mean user have no right to change the parameter setting related with coding configration? If so, what is the used default configuration? 

Thank you very much!

Regards 

Spring,

Please follow IL client examples in omx-xx/examples folder. Encode parameters can be chnaged in that, and it has examples as well. Also

see following wiki topic

http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/OMX_VENC

Vimal

1. Can not those parameters be modified directly through script of xxx.oms? That would be more easy to do.

2. If i only code the test sequences without capturation operation, does that means i should only change the ilcinet.c and ilcient_utils.h under omx/demos/encode/src ? 

3. For the default configuration in omtb_dm816xxbm_a8host.xv5T where my setting to parameters can affect the coding results, what about its coding performance? Dose it has similar coding performance with the high profile configuration with many coding tools enabled (such as intra prediction nine directions for 4x4 blocks, 4x4, 8x4/4x8 inter prediction, loopfilter)?  If so, i can simply use the default configuration in  omtb_dm816xxbm_a8host.xv5T to run our sequences.

Thank you very much! 

I want to obtain such configuration as:

#omx omtb_dbg_lvl 0x10

There is no difference over the coding results before and after I set the parameters such as

omx setp 0 h264venc OMX_TI_IndexParamVideoMEBlockSize eMinBlockSizeP 4x4
omx setp 0 h264venc OMX_TI_IndexParamVideoMEBlockSize eMinBlockSizeB 4x4  

Do you mean omtb_dm81xxbm_a8host.xv5T dose not support the setting of such coding parameters?

If I use the encode under demo folder with ilclient modification,

(1) I do not know how to change the parameters such as   eMinBlockSizeP since i donot know the parameter name. 

      Do you have examples showing how such parameters should be set?  

(2) How to compile the modified ilcient  demo? Can you give me some instructions?

Thank you! 

In order to be able to configure the parameters, I try to modify the file of ilcinet.c under omx/demos/encode/src. 

Then, i rebuid the code by excuting  make omx

However, i find there is no difference before and after i modify some settings. Can you give me some hints where the problem is?

I post the modified code here:

return eError;
}

(1) I guess RDO may be controlled by  tEncoderPreset.eEncodingModePreset = OMX_Video_Enc_Med_Speed_High_Quality; //OMX_Video_Enc_High_Quality;//

tEncoderPreset.eRateControlPreset = OMX_Video_RC_Low_Delay; //OMX_Video_RC_Storage;//

Then, I set it as high quality and RC storage to get high performance. There is error:

got event*** unrecoverable error: OMX_ErrorBadParameter


How to fix this error?

(2) When I set the coding tools as,  

tStaticParam.videoStaticParams.h264EncStaticParams.transformBlockSize = IH264_TRANSFORM_4x4;// IH264_TRANSFORM_ADAPTIVE; //when IH264_TRANSFORM_4x4 and IH264_TRANSFORM_ADAPTIVE, same results.
tStaticParam.videoStaticParams.h264EncStaticParams.entropyCodingMode = IH264_ENTROPYCODING_CAVLC;// IH264_ENTROPYCODING_CABAC;

When i change the settings, it leads to same coding results, which means it does not work for the changing of parameters.

Similar phenomenons are observed for other parameters

tStaticParam.videoStaticParams.h264EncStaticParams.intraCodingParams.lumaIntra4x4Enable = 0x1FF; //when 0x1f and 0x1ff, same results
tStaticParam.videoStaticParams.h264EncStaticParams.intraCodingParams.lumaIntra8x8Enable = 0x1FF;
tStaticParam.videoStaticParams.h264EncStaticParams.intraCodingParams.lumaIntra16x16Enable = 0xF;
tStaticParam.videoStaticParams.h264EncStaticParams.intraCodingParams.chromaIntra8x8Enable = 0xF;

(3) I don't know how to set the reference frame numbers. When I use tAVCParams.nRefFrames = 4 to do that, the actual reference number is still 1.

I have no idea how to solve the problem. I have take a long time try to find the solution and still have no idea to tacle that.  I just want to test the performance when all coding tools are opened (best coding performance) of TI codec. 

Wishing to get your help and advices!

Thank you!

I have gone through wiki http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/OMX_VENC

When I change parameters such as  intraCodingParams, i have set as  IH264_INTRACODING_USERDEFINED as the example below. There are no errors in the rebuild process. In this case, however there is still no difference over the coding bitstream. 

When I define videnc2Params.encodingPreset as XDM_USER_DEFINED, there will be error in the coding.  As you said, may be some combination is not allowed, how can i know what combinations are not allowed?  

Do you mean the H.264 Encoder on HDVICP2 and Media Controller Based Platform User's Guide? However, it only supply the name of parameters. It dose not tell us how to access the paramters in ilclient interfaces, such as through what data structure? Do you have detailed instruction about how to access the parameters?

Thank you very much!


tStaticParam.videoStaticParams.h264EncStaticParams.intraCodingParams.intraCodingPreset = IH264_INTRACODING_USERDEFINED;
tStaticParam.videoStaticParams.h264EncStaticParams.intraCodingParams.lumaIntra4x4Enable = 0x1FF; //when 0x1f and 0x1ff, same results
tStaticParam.videoStaticParams.h264EncStaticParams.intraCodingParams.lumaIntra8x8Enable = 0x1FF;
tStaticParam.videoStaticParams.h264EncStaticParams.intraCodingParams.lumaIntra16x16Enable = 0xF;
tStaticParam.videoStaticParams.h264EncStaticParams.intraCodingParams.chromaIntra8x8Enable = 0xF;
tStaticParam.videoStaticParams.h264EncStaticParams.intraCodingParams.chromaComponentEnable = IH264_CHROMA_COMPONENT_CB_CR_BOTH;
tStaticParam.videoStaticParams.h264EncStaticParams.interCodingParams.interCodingPreset = IH264_INTERCODING_USERDEFINED;
tStaticParam.videoStaticParams.h264EncStaticParams.interCodingParams.searchRangeHorP = 144;
tStaticParam.videoStaticParams.h264EncStaticParams.interCodingParams.searchRangeVerP = 32;
tStaticParam.videoStaticParams.h264EncStaticParams.interCodingParams.minBlockSizeP = IH264_BLOCKSIZE_4x4; //when 4x4 and 8x8, same results (less than 8 is not supported)
tStaticParam.videoStaticParams.h264EncStaticParams.interCodingParams.interCodingBias = IH264_BIASFACTOR_DEFAULT;
tStaticParam.videoStaticParams.h264EncStaticParams.interCodingParams.skipMVCodingBias = IH264_BIASFACTOR_DEFAULT;
tStaticParam.videoStaticParams.h264EncStaticParams.loopFilterParams.loopfilterPreset = IH264_LOOPFILTER_DEFAULT;

Thank you so much!

Thank you for your good suggestions.

After set XDM_USERDEFINED, and rebuild the whole SDK, i can set some parameters.

By the way, i have another question, as belows, when I change   tEncoderPreset.eEncodingModePreset among  OMX_Video_Enc_Med_Speed_High_Quality, OMX_Video_Enc_High_Quality, and OMX_Video_Enc_User_Defined, there is no dfference over the coding bitstream.  Is it supported by SDK?

Using the similar configrations between JM18.3 and the best configration of TI h.264 codec, i found TI h.264 codec had a performance loss about 1dB.  For JM18.3 configaration, i have disable inter 8x4/4x8/4x4 partions, disable the rate distortion optimization, set the reference frame number as 1 (to be consistent with the best configration of TI board as far I can set).  Is it strange? Or because i have not configure the parameters fully?

/* Encoder Preset settings */
OMX_INIT_PARAM (&tEncoderPreset);
tEncoderPreset.nPortIndex = OMX_VIDENC_OUTPUT_PORT;
eError = OMX_GetParameter (pHandle, OMX_TI_IndexParamVideoEncoderPreset,
&tEncoderPreset);

tEncoderPreset.eEncodingModePreset = OMX_Video_Enc_Med_Speed_High_Quality; //OMX_Video_Enc_High_Quality;//
tEncoderPreset.eRateControlPreset = OMX_Video_RC_Low_Delay; //OMX_Video_RC_Storage;//

eError = OMX_SetParameter (pHandle, OMX_TI_IndexParamVideoEncoderPreset,
&tEncoderPreset);
if (eError != OMX_ErrorNone)
{
ERROR ("failed to Encoder Preset \n");
}
