• Lossless compression of a sequence of similar grayscale images

  25 October 2020, by damien200

  I would like to have the best compression ratio of a sequence of similar grayscale images. I note that I need an absolute lossless solution (meaning I should be able to check it with an hash algorithm).

  


  What I tried

  


  I had the idea to convert my images into a video because there is a chronology between images. The encoding algorithm would compress using the fact that not all the scene change between 2 pictures. So I tried using ffmpeg but I had several problems due to sRGB -> YUV colorspace compression. I didn't understand all the thing but it's seems like a nightmare.

  


  Example of code used :

  


  ffmpeg -i %04d.png -c:v libx265 -crf 0 video.mp4 #To convert into video
ffmpeg -i video.mp4 %04d.png #To recover images



  


  My second idea was to do it by hand with imagemagik. So I took the first image as reference and create a new image that is the difference between image1 and image2. Then I tried to add the difference image with the image 1 (trying to recover image 2) but it didn't work. Noticing the size of the recreated picture, it's clear that the image is not the same. I think there was an unwanted compression during the process.

  


  Example of code used :

  


  composite -compose difference 0001.png 0002.png diff.png #To create the diff image
composite -compose difference 0001.png diff.png recover.png #To recover image 2


  


  Do you have any idea about my problem ?
And why I don't manage to do the perfect recover with iamgemagik ?

  


  Thanks ;)

• FFmpeg C Api - Reduce fps but maintain video duration

  25 March 2015, by Justin Bradley

  Using the FFmpeg C API I’m trying to convert an input video into a video that looks like an animated gif - meaning no audio stream and a video stream of 4/fps.

  I have the decode/encode part working. I can drop the audio stream from the output file, but I’m having trouble reducing the fps. I can change the output video stream’s time_base to 4/fps, but it increases the video’s duration - basically playing it in slow mo.

  I think I need to drop the extra frames before I write them to the output container.

  Below is the loop where I read the input frames, and then write them to output container.

  Is this where I’d drop the extra frames? How do I determine which frames to drop (I,P,B frames)?

  while(av_read_frame(input_container, &decoded_packet)>=0) {
  
  
  
      if (decoded_packet.stream_index == video_stream_index) {
  
          len = avcodec_decode_video2(input_stream->codec, decoded_frame, &got_frame, &decoded_packet);
  
          if(len < 0) {
  
              exit(1);
  
          }
  
  
  
          if(got_frame) {
  
              av_init_packet(&encoded_packet);
  
              encoded_packet.data =  NULL;
  
              encoded_packet.size =  0;
  
  
  
              if(avcodec_encode_video2(output_stream->codec, &encoded_packet, decoded_frame, &got_frame) < 0) {
  
                  exit(1);
  
              }
  
              if(got_frame) {
  
                  if (output_stream->codec->coded_frame->key_frame) {
  
                      encoded_packet.flags |= AV_PKT_FLAG_KEY;
  
                  }
  
  
  
                  encoded_packet.stream_index = output_stream->index;
  
                  encoded_packet.pts = av_rescale_q(current_frame_num, output_stream->codec->time_base, output_stream->time_base);
  
                  encoded_packet.dts = av_rescale_q(current_frame_num, output_stream->codec->time_base, output_stream->time_base);
  
  
  
                  if(av_interleaved_write_frame(output_container, &encoded_packet) < 0) {
  
                      exit(1);
  
                  }
  
                  else {
  
                      current_frame_num +=1;
  
                  }
  
              }
  
              frame_count+=1;
  
              av_free_packet(&encoded_packet);
  
          }
  
      }
  
  }
