Running
This TMC13 codec implementation encodes frame sequences. A single binary
contains the encoder and decoder implementation, with selection using
the --mode
option. Documentation of options is provided via the
--help
command line option.
Runtime configuration and configuration files
All command line parameters may be specified in a configuration file. A set of configuration file templates compliant with the current Common Test Conditions is provided in the cfg/ directory.
Example
To generate the configuration files, run the gen-cfg.sh script:
mpeg-pcc-tmc13/cfg$ ../scripts/gen-cfg.sh --all
An example script (scripts/Makefile.tmc13-step
) demonstrates how
to launch the encoder, decoder and metric software for a single
input frame. The VERBOSE=1 make variable shows the detailed command
execution sequence. Further documentation of the parameters are
contained within the script.
The following example encodes and decodes frame 0100 of the sequence
Ford_01_q_1mm
, making use of the configuration file
cfg/lossy-geom-no-attrs/ford_01_q1mm/r01/encoder.cfg
and storing
the intermediate results in the output directory
experiment/lossy-geom-no-attrs/ford_01_q1mm/r01/
.

Intra and inter prediction
The yaml files stored directly under the cfg/ folder correspond to intra prediction, and yaml files stored under cfg/inter/ folder correspond to inter prediction. The gen-cfg.sh script is updated such that intra/inter prediction may be specified as an additional option to produce the configuration files corresponding to intra/inter prediction; alternately, the "--all" option may be used to generate the configuration for intra and inter prediction for all tool configurations.
After running the gen-cfg.sh script, the configuration files for intra and inter prediction are generated in separate folders. The configuration files corresponding to inter prediction are generated in folders with "-inter" suffix. For example, configuration files corresponding to octree and predicting/lifting transform using intra prediction are generated in the folder octree-predlift/ (as was the case in some earlier versions of the test model), and configuration files corresponding to octree and predicting/lifting transform using inter prediction are generated in the folder octree-predlift-inter/.
