AVFrame是包含码流参数较多的结构体。下面我们来分析一下该结构体里重要变量的含义和作用。
首先我们先看一下结构体AVFrame的定义的结构体源码(位于libavcodec/avcodec.h):

AVFrame结构体一般用于存储原始数据(即非压缩数据,例如对视频来说是YUV,RGB,对音频来说是PCM),此外还包含了一些相关的信息。比如说,解码的时候存储了宏块类型表,QP表,运动矢量表等数据。编码的时候也存储了相关的数据。因此在使用FFMPEG进行码流分析的时候,AVFrame是一个很重要的结构体。
下面看几个主要变量的作用(在这里考虑解码的情况):
uint8_t *data[AV_NUM_DATA_POINTERS]:解码后原始数据(对视频来说是YUV,RGB,对音频来说是PCM)
int linesize[AV_NUM_DATA_POINTERS]:data中“一行”数据的大小。注意:未必等于图像的宽,一般大于图像的宽。
int width, height:视频帧宽和高(1920x1080,1280x720...)
int nb_samples:音频的一个AVFrame中可能包含多个音频帧,在此标记包含了几个
int format:解码后原始数据类型(YUV420,YUV422,RGB24...)
int key_frame:是否是关键帧
enum AVPictureType pict_type:帧类型(I,B,P...)
AVRational sample_aspect_ratio:宽高比(16:9,4:3...)
int64_t pts:显示时间戳
int coded_picture_number:编码帧序号
int display_picture_number:显示帧序号
int8_t *qscale_table:QP表
uint8_t *mbskip_table:跳过宏块表
int16_t (*motion_val[2])[2]:运动矢量表
uint32_t *mb_type:宏块类型表
short *dct_coeff:DCT系数,这个没有提取过
int8_t *ref_index[2]:运动估计参考帧列表(貌似H.264这种比较新的标准才会涉及到多参考帧)
int interlaced_frame:是否是隔行扫描
uint8_t motion_subsample_log2:一个宏块中的运动矢量采样个数,取log的
其他的变量不再一一列举,源代码中都有详细的说明。在这里重点分析一下几个需要一定的理解的变量:
对于packed格式的数据(例如RGB24),会存到data[0]里面。
对于planar格式的数据(例如YUV420P),则会分开成data[0],data[1],data[2]...(YUV420P中data[0]存Y,data[1]存U,data[2]存V)
包含以下类型:
enum AVPictureType {
AV_PICTURE_TYPE_NONE = 0, ///< Undefined
AV_PICTURE_TYPE_I, ///< Intra
AV_PICTURE_TYPE_P, ///< Predicted
AV_PICTURE_TYPE_B, ///< Bi-dir predicted
AV_PICTURE_TYPE_S, ///< S(GMC)-VOP MPEG4
AV_PICTURE_TYPE_SI, ///< Switching Intra
AV_PICTURE_TYPE_SP, ///< Switching Predicted
AV_PICTURE_TYPE_BI, ///< BI type
};
宽高比是一个分数,FFMPEG中用AVRational表达分数:
/**
* rational number numerator/denominator
*/
typedef struct AVRational{
int num; ///< numerator
int den; ///< denominator
} AVRational;
QP表指向一块内存,里面存储的是每个宏块的QP值。宏块的标号是从左往右,一行一行的来的。每个宏块对应1个QP。
qscale_table[0]就是第1行第1列宏块的QP值;qscale_table[1]就是第1行第2列宏块的QP值;qscale_table[2]就是第1行第3列宏块的QP值。以此类推...
宏块的个数用下式计算:
注:宏块大小是16x16的。
每行宏块数:
int mb_stride = pCodecCtx->width/16+1
宏块的总数:
int mb_sum = ((pCodecCtx->height+15)>>4)*(pCodecCtx->width/16+1)
