如何使用x264 C API将一系列图像编码为H264？

Question

如何使用x264 C API将RBG图像编码为H264帧？我已经创建了一系列RBG图像,我现在如何将该序列转换为H264帧序列？特别是,如何将这个RGB图像序列编码为H264帧序列,该帧由单个初始H264关键帧后跟依赖H264帧组成？

Answer 1

首先:检查x264.h文件,它包含或多或少的每个函数和结构的引用.您可以在下载中找到的x264.c文件包含一个示例实现.大多数人都说基于那个,但我觉得它对于初学者来说相当复杂,但是它可以作为一个例子来回归.

首先设置一些x264_param_t类型的参数,一个描述参数的好站点是http://mewiki.project357.com/wiki/X264_Settings.另外,请看一下这个x264_param_default_preset函数,它允许您定位某些功能,而无需了解所有(有时非常复杂的)参数.x264_param_apply_profile之后也可以使用(你可能想要"基线"配置文件)

这是我的代码中的一些示例设置:

x264_param_t param;
x264_param_default_preset(&param, "veryfast", "zerolatency");
param.i_threads = 1;
param.i_width = width;
param.i_height = height;
param.i_fps_num = fps;
param.i_fps_den = 1;
// Intra refres:
param.i_keyint_max = fps;
param.b_intra_refresh = 1;
//Rate control:
param.rc.i_rc_method = X264_RC_CRF;
param.rc.f_rf_constant = 25;
param.rc.f_rf_constant_max = 35;
//For streaming:
param.b_repeat_headers = 1;
param.b_annexb = 1;
x264_param_apply_profile(&param, "baseline");

在此之后,您可以按如下方式初始化编码器

x264_t* encoder = x264_encoder_open(&param);
x264_picture_t pic_in, pic_out;
x264_picture_alloc(&pic_in, X264_CSP_I420, w, h)

X264期待YUV420P数据(我猜其他一些数据,但这是常见的数据).您可以使用libswscale(来自ffmpeg)将图像转换为正确的格式.初始化是这样的(我假设RGB数据为24bpp).

struct SwsContext* convertCtx = sws_getContext(in_w, in_h, PIX_FMT_RGB24, out_w, out_h, PIX_FMT_YUV420P, SWS_FAST_BILINEAR, NULL, NULL, NULL);

编码就像这样简单,对于每一帧做:

//data is a pointer to you RGB structure
int srcstride = w*3; //RGB stride is just 3*width
sws_scale(convertCtx, &data, &srcstride, 0, h, pic_in.img.plane, pic_in.img.stride);
x264_nal_t* nals;
int i_nals;
int frame_size = x264_encoder_encode(encoder, &nals, &i_nals, &pic_in, &pic_out);
if (frame_size >= 0)
{
    // OK
}

我希望这会让你前进;),我自己花了很长时间才开始.X264是一款非常强大但有时很复杂的软件.

编辑:使用其他参数时会出现延迟帧,但我的参数不是这种情况(主要是由于nolatency选项).如果是这种情况,frame_size有时会为零,x264_encoder_encode只要该函数x264_encoder_delayed_frames不返回0 ,您就必须调用.但是对于此功能,您应该更深入地了解x264.c和x264.h.

我上传了一个生成原始yuv帧的示例,然后使用x264对它们进行编码.完整代码可以在这里找到:https://gist.github.com/roxlu/6453908

FFmpeg 2.8.6 C 可运行示例

使用 FFpmeg 作为 x264 的包装器是一个好主意，因为它为多个编码器公开了统一的 API。因此，如果您需要更改格式，只需更改一个参数即可，而无需学习新的 API。

该示例合成并编码了由 生成的一些彩色帧generate_rgb。

这里讨论控制帧类型（I, P, B）以拥有尽可能少的关键帧（最好只是第一个）： https: //stackoverflow.com/a/36412909/895245正如那里提到的，我不推荐它用于大多数应用程序。

这里进行帧类型控制的关键行是：

/* Minimal distance of I-frames. This is the maximum value allowed,
or else we get a warning at runtime. */
c->keyint_min = 600;

和：

if (frame->pts == 1) {
    frame->key_frame = 1;
    frame->pict_type = AV_PICTURE_TYPE_I;
} else {
    frame->key_frame = 0;
    frame->pict_type = AV_PICTURE_TYPE_P;
}

然后我们可以通过以下方式验证帧类型：

ffprobe -select_streams v \
    -show_frames \
    -show_entries frame=pict_type \
    -of csv \
    tmp.h264
