27 * DISCUSSION : How to Write an efficient Frame-Dropping Algorithm
28 * ==========
30 * This implementation is based on mathematical and statistical
31 * developments. Older implementations used an enslavement, considering
32 * that if we're late when reading an I picture, we will decode one frame
33 * less. It had a tendancy to derive, and wasn't responsive enough, which
34 * would have caused trouble with the stream control stuff.
36 * 1. Structure of a picture stream
37 * =============================
38 * Between 2 I's, we have for instance :
39 * I B P B P B P B P B P B I
40 * t0 t1 t2 t3 t4 t5 t6 t7 t8 t9 t10 t11 t12
41 * Please bear in mind that B's and IP's will be inverted when displaying
42 * (decoding order != presentation order). Thus, t1 < t0.
44 * 2. Definitions
45 * ===========
46 * t[0..12] : Presentation timestamps of pictures 0..12.
47 * t : Current timestamp, at the moment of the decoding.
48 * T : Picture period, T = 1/frame_rate.
49 * tau[I,P,B] : Mean time to decode an [I,P,B] picture.
50 * tauYUV : Mean time to render a picture (given by the video_output).
51 * tau´[I,P,B] = 2 * tau[I,P,B] + tauYUV
52 * : Mean time + typical difference (estimated to tau/2, that
53 * needs to be confirmed) + render time.
54 * DELTA : A given error margin.
56 * 3. General considerations
57 * ======================
58 * We define three types of machines :
59 * 14T > tauI : machines capable of decoding all I pictures
60 * 2T > tauP : machines capable of decoding all P pictures
61 * T > tauB : machines capable of decoding all B pictures
63 * 4. Decoding of an I picture
64 * ========================
65 * On fast machines, we decode all I's.
66 * Otherwise :
67 * We can decode an I picture if we simply have enough time to decode it
68 * before displaying :
69 * t0 - t > tau´I + DELTA
71 * 5. Decoding of a P picture
72 * =======================
73 * On fast machines, we decode all P's.
74 * Otherwise :
75 * First criterion : have time to decode it.
76 * t2 - t > tau´P + DELTA
78 * Second criterion : it shouldn't prevent us from displaying the forthcoming
79 * I picture, which is more important.
80 * t12 - t > tau´P + tau´I + DELTA
82 * 6. Decoding of a B picture
83 * =======================
84 * On fast machines, we decode all B's. Otherwise :
85 * t1 - t > tau´B + DELTA
86 * Since the next displayed I or P is already decoded, we don't have to
87 * worry about it.
89 * I hope you will have a pleasant flight and do not forget your life
90 * jacket.
