本文记录x264的 x264_slice_write()函数中调用的x264_macroblock_analyse()的源代码。x264_macroblock_analyse()对应着x264中的分析模块。分析模块主要完成了下面2个方面的功能：

（1）对于帧内宏块，分析帧内预测模式
（2）对于帧间宏块，进行运动估计，分析帧间预测模式

上一篇文章记录了帧内宏块预测模式的分析，本文继续记录帧间宏块预测模式的分析。

从图中可以看出，分析模块的x264_macroblock_analyse()调用了如下函数（只列举了几个有代表性的函数）：

x264_mb_analyse_init()：Analysis模块初始化。
x264_mb_analyse_intra()：Intra宏块帧内预测模式分析。
x264_macroblock_probe_pskip()：分析是否是skip模式。
x264_mb_analyse_inter_p16x16()：P16x16宏块帧间预测模式分析。
x264_mb_analyse_inter_p8x8()：P8x8宏块帧间预测模式分析。
x264_mb_analyse_inter_p16x8()：P16x8宏块帧间预测模式分析。
x264_mb_analyse_inter_b16x16()：B16x16宏块帧间预测模式分析。
x264_mb_analyse_inter_b8x8()：B8x8宏块帧间预测模式分析。
x264_mb_analyse_inter_b16x8()：B16x8宏块帧间预测模式分析。

上一篇文章已经分析了帧内宏块（Intra宏块）的分析函数x264_mb_analyse_intra()。本文重点分析帧间宏块（Inter宏块）的分析函数x264_mb_analyse_inter_p16x16 ()。并简单对比分析x264_mb_analyse_inter_p8x8()，x264_mb_analyse_inter_p16x8()等几个针对不同尺寸帧间宏块的预测函数。

x264_slice_write()

x264_slice_write()是x264项目的核心，它完成了编码了一个Slice的工作。有关该函数的分析可以参考文章《 x264源代码简单分析：x264_slice_write()》。

x264_macroblock_analyse()

x264_macroblock_analyse()用于分析宏块的预测模式。该函数的定义位于encoder\analyse.c，如下所示。

尽管x264_macroblock_analyse()的源代码比较长，但是它的逻辑比较简单，如下所示：

（1）如果当前是I Slice，调用x264_mb_analyse_intra()进行Intra宏块的帧内预测模式分析。
（2）如果当前是P Slice，则进行下面流程的分析：

a)调用x264_macroblock_probe_pskip()分析是否为Skip宏块，如果是的话则不再进行下面分析。

b)调用x264_mb_analyse_inter_p16x16()分析P16x16帧间预测的代价。

c)调用x264_mb_analyse_inter_p8x8()分析P8x8帧间预测的代价。

d)如果P8x8代价值小于P16x16，则依次对4个8x8的子宏块分割进行判断：

i.调用x264_mb_analyse_inter_p4x4()分析P4x4帧间预测的代价。

ii.如果P4x4代价值小于P8x8，则调用 x264_mb_analyse_inter_p8x4()和x264_mb_analyse_inter_p4x8()分析P8x4和P4x8帧间预测的代价。

e)如果P8x8代价值小于P16x16，调用x264_mb_analyse_inter_p16x8()和x264_mb_analyse_inter_p8x16()分析P16x8和P8x16帧间预测的代价。

f)此外还要调用x264_mb_analyse_intra()，检查当前宏块作为Intra宏块编码的代价是否小于作为P宏块编码的代价（P Slice中也允许有Intra宏块）。

（3）如果当前是B Slice，则进行和P Slice类似的处理。

x264_macroblock_analyse()的流程中出现了多种帧间宏块的划分方式，在这里汇总一下。《H.264标准》中规定，每个16x16的宏块可以划分为16x16，16x8，8x16，8x8四种类型。而如果宏块划分为8x8类型的时候，每个8x8宏块又可以划分为8x8，8x4，4x8，4x4四种小块。它们之间的关系下图所示。

上图中这些子宏块都包含了自己的运动矢量和参考帧序号，并且根据这两个信息获得最终的预测数据。总体说来，大的子宏块适合平坦区域，而小的子宏块适合多细节区域。例如下面这张图是一张没有进行运动补偿的残差帧的宏块分割方式图，可以看出平坦区域使用了较大的16x16分割方式，而细节区域使用了相对较小的宏块分割方式。

上一篇文章中已经记录了x264_macroblock_analyse()中Intra宏块的预测模式分析函数x264_mb_analyse_intra()；本文继续分析该函数中Inter宏块的预测模式分析的代码。由于Inter宏块的划分模式比较多，每种划分模式都对应这一个函数，因此难以一一分析每种划分模式的帧间预测代码。本文主要以P16x16宏块帧间预测函数264_mb_analyse_inter_p16x16()为例，分析宏块帧间预测方法。

x264_mb_analyse_inter_p16x16()

x264_mb_analyse_inter_p16x16()用于分析P16x16宏块的帧间预测方式。该函数的定义位于encoder\analyse.c，如下所示。

}

从源代码可以看出，x264_mb_analyse_inter_p16x16()首先初始化了x264_me_t结构体相关的信息，然后调用x264_me_search_ref()进行运动估计，最后统计运动估计的开销。其中x264_me_search_ref()完成了运动搜索的流程，相对比较复杂，是帧间预测的重点。在看x264_me_search_ref()之前，简单记录一下运动搜索相关的知识。

运动搜索（运动估计）知识

运动搜索可以分成两种基本类型：

（1）全局搜索算法。该方法是把搜索区域内所有的像素块逐个与当前宏块进行比较，查找具有最小匹配误差的一个像素块为匹配块。这一方法的好处是可以找到最佳的匹配块，坏处是速度太慢。目前全局搜索算法极少使用。

（2）快速搜索算法。该方法按照一定的数学规则进行匹配块的搜索。这一方法的好处是速度快，坏处是可能只能得到次最佳的匹配块。

在X264中包含以下几种运动搜索方法：

（1）菱形搜索算法（DIA）
以搜索起点为中心，采用下图所示的小菱形模板（模板半径为1）搜索。计算各点的匹配误差，得到MBD（最小误差）点。如果MBD点在模板中心，则搜索结束，此时的MBD 点就是最优匹配点，对应的像素块就是最佳匹配块；如果MBD点不在模板中心位置，则以现在MBD点为中心点，继续进行小菱形搜索，直至MBD点落在中心点为止。

4x4的像素块采用菱形搜索算法搜索的示意图如下所示。

（2）六边形搜索算法（HEX）
该方法采用1个大模板（六边形模板）和2个小模板（小菱形模板和小正方形模板）。具体的搜索步骤如下：
步骤1：以搜索起点为中心，采用图中左边的六边形模板进行搜索。计算区域中心及周围6个点处的匹配误差并比较，如最小MBD 点位于模板中心点，则转至步骤2；否则以上一次的MBD 点作为中心点，以六边形模板为模板进行反复搜索。
步骤2：以上一次的MBD 点为中心点，采用小菱形模板搜索，计算各点的匹配误差，找到MBD 点。然后以MBD点为中心点，采用小正方形模板搜索，得到的MBD点就是最优匹配点。

4x4的像素块采用六边形搜索算法搜索的示意图如下所示。

（3）非对称十字型多层次六边形格点搜索算法（UMH）
该方法用到了下图所示的多个搜索模板，相对比较复杂，目前还没有仔细研究。记录一下步骤：
步骤0：进行一次小菱形搜索，根据匹配误差值和两个门限值（对于一种尺寸的宏块来说是固定大小的threshold1和threshold2）之间的关系作相应的处理，可能用到中菱形模板或者正八边形模板，也有可能直接跳到步骤1。
步骤1：使用非对称十字模板搜索。“非对称”的原因是一般水平方向运动要比垂直方向运动剧烈，所以将水平方向搜索范围定为W，垂直方向搜索范围定为W/2。
步骤2：使用5x5逐步搜索模板搜索。
步骤3：使用大六边形模板搜索。
步骤4：使用六边形搜索算法找到最优匹配点。

（4）连续消除法（ESA、TESA）

该方法是一种全搜索算法，它对搜索区域内的点进行光栅式搜索，逐一计算并比较。

论文《X264的运动估计算法研究》中曾经评测了几种运动搜索算法的性能。文中采用了“Foreman”（运动剧烈）、“Carphone”（中等运动）、“Claire”（运动较小）几个视频作为实验素材，搜索范围为设置为16，实验的结果如下表所示。

从结果可以看出，码率不变的前提下，“Dia”、“HEX”、“UMH”、“ESA”编码获得的质量依次提高，速度依次降低。其中快速算法（“Dia”、“HEX”、“UMH”）的编码质量比全搜索算法（“ESA”）低不了太多，但是速度却高了很多倍。

x264_me_search_ref()

x264_me_search_ref()完成了运动搜索的工作。该函数的定义位于encoder\me.c，如下所示。

#undef COST_MV

从源代码可以看出，x264_me_search_ref()的整像素搜索是在一个很长的switch()语句里面完成的，该switch()语句根据配置的的参数进行相应的运动搜索，如下所示。

switch( h->mb.i_me_method )
{case X264_ME_DIA:{//...break;}case X264_ME_HEX:{//...break;}case X264_ME_UMH:{//...break;}case X264_ME_ESA:case X264_ME_TESA:{//...break;}
}

在具体的搜索算法中，包含了一些宏例如“COST_MV_X4_DIR()”，“COST_MV_X3_DIR()”用于完成像素比较。上述宏可以一次性完成多个位置的像素块的比较，其中“X3”代表可以1次完成3个位置的像素块的比较；而“X4” 代表可以1次完成4个位置的像素块的比较。在钻石模板搜索的过程中调用1次COST_MV_X4_DIR()完成了比较，而在六边形搜索的过程中调用2次COST_MV_X3_DIR()完成了比较。

在进行完整像素搜索之后，x264_me_search_ref()会继续调用refine_subpel()完成亚像素精度（半像素，1/4像素）的搜索。再看源代码之前，简单记录一下有关亚像素的知识。

亚像素插值知识

基本知识

简单记录一下亚像素插值的知识。《H.264标准》中规定，运动估计为1/4像素精度。因此在H.264编码和解码的过程中，需要将画面中的像素进行插值——简单地说就是把原先的1个像素点拓展成4x4一共16个点。下图显示了H.264编码和解码过程中像素插值情况。可以看出原先的G点的右下方通过插值的方式产生了a、b、c、d等一共16个点。

如图所示，1/4像素内插一般分成两步：

（1）半像素内插。这一步通过6抽头滤波器获得5个半像素点。
（2）线性内插。这一步通过简单的线性内插获得剩余的1/4像素点。

图中半像素内插点为b、m、h、s、j五个点。半像素内插方法是对整像素点进行6 抽头滤波得出，滤波器的权重为(1/32, -5/32, 5/8, 5/8, -5/32, 1/32)。例如b的计算公式为：

b=round( (E - 5F + 20G + 20H - 5I + J ) / 32)

剩下几个半像素点的计算关系如下：

m：由B、D、H、N、S、U计算
h：由A、C、G、M、R、T计算
s：由K、L、M、N、P、Q计算
j：由cc、dd、h、m、ee、ff计算。需要注意j点的运算量比较大，因为cc、dd、ee、ff都需要通过半像素内插方法进行计算。

在获得半像素点之后，就可以通过简单的线性内插获得1/4像素内插点了。1/4像素内插的方式如下图所示。例如图中a点的计算公式如下：

A=round( (G+b)/2 )

在这里有一点需要注意：位于4个角的e、g、p、r四个点并不是通过j点计算计算的，而是通过b、h、s、m四个半像素点计算的。

X264中亚像素的计算方法

X264中，半像素数据是在滤波（Filter）部分的x264_fdec_filter_row()中提前计算出来的，而1/4像素数据则是临时通过半像素数据线性内插得到的。

X264中半像素数据
X264中半像素数据在滤波（Filter）部分的x264_fdec_filter_row()中提前计算出来。经过计算之后，半像素点数据存储于x264_frame_t的filter[3][4]中。其中水平半像素点H存储于filter[][1]，垂直半像素点V存储于filter[][2]，对角线半像素点C存储于filter[][3]，而原本整像素点存储于filter[][0]。下图显示了一个4x4图像块经过半像素内插处理后，得到的半像素与整像素点之间的位置关系。

X264中1/4像素数据
X264中1/4像素数据是临时通过半像素点（包括整像素点）线性内插得到的。下图显示了一个4x4图像块进行1/4像素内插的过程。上面一张图中水平半像素点（存储于filter[][1]）和垂直半像素点（存储于filter[][2]）线性内插后得到了绿色的1/4像素内插点X。下面一张图中整像素点（存储于filter[][0]）和垂直半像素点（存储于filter[][2]）线性内插后得到了绿色的1/4像素内插点X。

refine_subpel()

refine_subpel()用于进行亚像素的运动搜索。该函数的定义位于encoder\me.c，如下所示。

//子像素精度（1/2，1/4）搜索

}

从源代码可以看出，refine_subpel()首先使用小钻石模板（Diamond）查找当前整像素匹配块周围的4个半像素点的匹配块。获取半像素点数据的时候使用了x264_mc_functions_t中的get_ref()函数（后文进行分析）。获取到的src0、src1、src2、src3分别对应当前整像素点上、下、左、右的半像素点。
在查找到半像素点的最小误差点之后，refine_subpel()继续使用小钻石模板查找当前半像素点周围的4个1/4像素点的匹配块。获取1/4像素点数据的时候同样使用了x264_mc_functions_t中的get_ref()函数。
下图显示了一个4x4图像块的运动搜索过程。图中灰色点为整像素点，黄色点为半像素点，绿色点为1/4像素点，红色箭头代表了一次运动搜索过程，蓝色箭头则代表了运动矢量，虚线边缘块则代表了最后的匹配块。

运动估计相关的源代码

运动估计模块的初始化函数是x264_mc_init()。该函数对x264_mc_functions_t结构体中的函数指针进行了赋值。X264运行的过程中只要调用x264_mc_functions_t的函数指针就可以完成相应的功能。

x264_mc_init()

x264_mc_init()用于初始化运动补偿相关的汇编函数。该函数的定义位于common\mc.c，如下所示。

//运动补偿

从源代码可以看出，x264_mc_init()中包含了大量的像素内插、拷贝、求平均的函数。这些函数都是用于在H.264编码过程中进行运动估计和运动补偿的。x264_mc_init()的参数x264_mc_functions_t是一个结构体，其中包含了运动补偿函数相关的函数接口。x264_mc_functions_t的定义如下。

} x264_mc_functions_t;

x264_mc_init()的工作就是对x264_mc_functions_t中的函数指针进行赋值。x264_mc_functions_t的成员变量比较多，难以一一分析。下文主要分析其中最重要的两个函数：半像素内插函数hpel_filter()和获取亚像素数据的函数get_ref()。

hpel_filter()

hpel_filter()用于进行半像素插值。该函数的定义位于common\mc.c，如下所示。

//半像素插值公式
//b= (E - 5F + 20G + 20H - 5I + J)/32
//              x
//d取1，水平滤波器；d取stride，垂直滤波器（这里没有除以32）
#define TAPFILTER(pix, d) ((pix)[x-2*d] + (pix)[x+3*d] - 5*((pix)[x-d] + (pix)[x+2*d]) + 20*((pix)[x] + (pix)[x+d]))/** 半像素插值* dsth：水平滤波得到的半像素点(aa,bb,b,s,gg,hh)* dstv：垂直滤波的到的半像素点(cc,dd,h,m,ee,ff)* dstc：“水平+垂直”滤波得到的位于4个像素中间的半像素点（j）** 半像素插值示意图如下：**         A aa B**         C bb D** E   F   G  b H   I   J** cc  dd  h  j m  ee  ff** K   L   M  s N   P   Q**         R gg S**         T hh U** 计算公式如下：* b=round( (E - 5F + 20G + 20H - 5I + J ) / 32)** 剩下几个半像素点的计算关系如下：* m：由B、D、H、N、S、U计算* h：由A、C、G、M、R、T计算* s：由K、L、M、N、P、Q计算* j：由cc、dd、h、m、ee、ff计算。需要注意j点的运算量比较大，因为cc、dd、ee、ff都需要通过半像素内插方法进行计算。**/
static void hpel_filter( pixel *dsth, pixel *dstv, pixel *dstc, pixel *src,intptr_t stride, int width, int height, int16_t *buf )
{const int pad = (BIT_DEPTH > 9) ? (-10 * PIXEL_MAX) : 0;/** 几种半像素点之间的位置关系** X： 像素点* H：水平滤波半像素点* V：垂直滤波半像素点* C： 中间位置半像素点** X   H   X       X       X** V   C** X       X       X       X**** X       X       X       X**///一行一行处理for( int y = 0; y < height; y++ ){//一个一个点处理//每个整像素点都对应h，v，c三个半像素点//vfor( int x = -2; x < width+3; x++ )//(aa,bb,b,s,gg,hh),结果存入buf{//垂直滤波半像素点int v = TAPFILTER(src,stride);dstv[x] = x264_clip_pixel( (v + 16) >> 5 );/* transform v for storage in a 16-bit integer *///这应该是给dstc计算使用的？buf[x+2] = v + pad;}//cfor( int x = 0; x < width; x++ )dstc[x] = x264_clip_pixel( (TAPFILTER(buf+2,1) - 32*pad + 512) >> 10 );//四个相邻像素中间的半像素点//hfor( int x = 0; x < width; x++ )dsth[x] = x264_clip_pixel( (TAPFILTER(src,1) + 16) >> 5 );//水平滤波半像素点dsth += stride;dstv += stride;dstc += stride;src += stride;}
}

从源代码可以看出，hpel_filter()中包含了一个宏TAPFILTER()用来完成半像素点像素值的计算。在完成半像素插值工作后，dsth中存储的是经过水平插值后的半像素点，dstv中存储的是经过垂直插值后的半像素点，dstc中存储的是位于4个相邻像素点中间位置的半像素点。这三块内存中的点的位置关系如下图所示（灰色的点是整像素点）。

get_ref()

get_ref()用于获取亚像素数据。该函数的定义位于common\mc.c，如下所示。

/** hpel_ref0[]记录了亚像素点依赖于哪些点。数组元素共有四个取值：0，1，2，3。这四个值分别代表整数像素，水平半像素，垂直半像素，对角线半像素。* hpel_ref1[]功能是类似的。* 1/4内插点依赖于2个半像素点，所以才存在这2个数组** 注意对最下1行像素和最右1行像素是需要特殊处理的** hpel_ref0[qpel_idx]表示了第1次半像素内插使用的滤波器。示意如下（矩阵4个角代表4个整像素点）** 0 1 1 1* 0 1 1 1* 2 3 3 3* 0 1 1 1** hpel_ref1[qpel_idx]表示了第2次半像素内插使用的滤波器（只有1/4内插点才需要）。示意如下（矩阵4个角代表4个整像素点）* 0 0 0 0* 2 2 3 2* 2 2 3 2* 2 2 3 2** 例如* qpel_idx=5的时候* hpel_ref0[5]=1，需要进行水平半像素滤波* hpel_ref1[5]=2，需要进行垂直半像素滤波* 顺序如下（X代表像素点，数字代表顺序）* X   1   X*   3* 2** X       X** qpel_idx=1的时候* hpel_ref0[5]=1，需要进行水平半像素滤波* hpel_ref1[5]=0，即直接使用整像素点* 顺序如下（X代表像素点，数字代表顺序）* 2 3 1   X**** X       X** qpel_idx=4的时候* hpel_ref0[5]=0，即直接使用整像素点* hpel_ref1[5]=2，需要进行垂直半像素滤波* 顺序如下（X代表像素点，数字代表顺序）* 1       X* 3* 2** X       X*/

}

get_ref()虽然代码简短，但是却不好理解。函数首先取出输入运动矢量亚像素部分（后两位数据），经过计算后赋值给qpel_idx。换句话说qpel_idx记录了运动矢量在亚像素单位上指向的位置，它的取值和像素位置之间的关系如下表所示。

x point	0p	1/4p	1/2p	3/4p	x+1 point
0p	0	1	2	3
1/4p	4	5	6	7
1/2p	8	9	10	11
3/4p	12	13	14	15
x+stride point

接着get_ref()根据qpel_idx从输入图像数据src[4]中取数据。src[4]中[0]存储是整像素数据，[1]存储是水平半像素数据，[2]存储是垂直半像素数据，[3]存储是对角线半像素数据。在取数据的过程中涉及到两个数组hpel_ref0[16]和hpel_ref1[16]，这两个数组记录了相应qpel_idx位置应该从哪个半像素点数组中取数据。例如qpel_idx取值为8的时候，应该从垂直半像素数组中取值，因此hpel_ref0[8]=2；而qpel_idx取值为2的时候，应该从水平半像素数组中取值，因此hpel_ref0[2]=1。如果仅仅取半像素点的的话，使用hpel_ref0[16]就足够了，但是如果想要取1/4像素点，就必须使用hpel_ref1[16]。这是因为1/4像素点需要通过2个半像素点线性内插获得，所以hpel_ref1[16]记录了线性内插需要的另一个点是哪个半像素点。例如qpel_idx取值为5的时候，通过垂直半像素点和水平半像素点内插获得该1/4像素点，因此hpel_ref0[5]=1，而hpel_ref1[5]=2；再例如qpel_idx取值为4的时候，通过整像素点和垂直半像素点内插获得该1/4像素点，因此hpel_ref0[4]=0，而hpel_ref1[4]=2。
get_ref()函数通过“qpel_idx & 5”来断定当前运动矢量是否是1/4像素内插点，如果需要的话才会根据hpel_ref1[]加载另一个半像素点的数据并且调用pixel_avg()函数通过线性内插的方式获取该内插点。

下图演示了hpel_ref0[16]和hpel_ref1[16]在获取亚像素数据时候的作用。图中灰色点代表整像素点，黄色点代表半像素点，绿色点代表1/4像素点；左边是一个4x4图像块，其中蓝色箭头标记了1/4像素点需要的两个半像素点（也可能是整像素点）；右上方的图将两个像素点之间的图像放大，并且将1/4像素点需要的两个半像素点以数字的方式表示出来；右下方则是将右上方的数字拆开成了两个矩阵，即对应的是hpel_ref0[16]和hpel_ref1[16]。

pixel_avg_wxh()

get_ref()中求1/4像素点的时候调用了一个线性内插函数pixel_avg_wxh()。该函数的定义如下。

//像素求平均值
//在这里用于1/4像素内插
static inline void pixel_avg( pixel *dst,  intptr_t i_dst_stride,pixel *src1, intptr_t i_src1_stride,pixel *src2, intptr_t i_src2_stride, int i_width, int i_height )
{for( int y = 0; y < i_height; y++ ){for( int x = 0; x < i_width; x++ )dst[x] = ( src1[x] + src2[x] + 1 ) >> 1;dst  += i_dst_stride;src1 += i_src1_stride;src2 += i_src2_stride;}
}

可以看出pixel_avg_wxh()完成了一个简单的求平均值的工作。

至此有关X264帧间预测方面的源代码就基本分析完毕了。前文中以P16x16宏块为例分析的帧间预测的源代码，作为对比下面再看一下P8x8、P16x8、P8x16宏块帧间预测的源代码。实际上这几种宏块的帧间预测的方式是类似的，都调用了x264_me_search_ref()完成了运动搜索的过程，它们的不同主要在于处理的图像块尺寸的不同。

其他划分模式的帧间预测源代码

P8x8宏块帧间预测函数为x264_mb_analyse_inter_p8x8()；P16x8 宏块帧间预测函数为x264_mb_analyse_inter_p16x8()；P8x16宏块帧间预测函数为x264_mb_analyse_inter_p8x16()。下面简单扫一眼它们的源代码。

x264_mb_analyse_inter_p8x8()

x264_mb_analyse_inter_p8x8()用于分析P8x8宏块的帧间预测模式，该函数的定义如下。

/** 8x8帧间预测宏块分析* +--------+* |        |* |        |* |        |* +--------+*/

}

从源代码可以看出，x264_mb_analyse_inter_p8x8()中包含一个4次的for()循环，用于分别处理4个8x8的块。在函数的结尾将4个8x8块的开销累加起来作为该宏块的开销。

x264_mb_analyse_inter_p16x8()

x264_mb_analyse_inter_p16x8()用于分析P16x8宏块的帧间预测模式，该函数的定义如下。

/** 16x8 宏块划分** +--------+--------+* |        |        |* |        |        |* |        |        |* +--------+--------+**/
