FFMPEG中最关键的结构体之间的关系

在此不再详述，其中AVFrame是包含码流参数较多的结构体。本文将会详细分析一下该结构体里主要变量的含义和作用。

首先看一下结构体的定义（位于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：

1.data[]

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）

具体参见：FFMPEG 实现 YUV，RGB各种图像原始数据之间的转换（swscale）

2.pict_type

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
};

3.sample_aspect_ratio

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;

4.qscale_table

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)

5.motion_subsample_log2

1个运动矢量所能代表的画面大小（用宽或者高表示，单位是像素），注意，这里取了log2。

代码注释中给出以下数据：

4->16x16, 3->8x8, 2-> 4x4, 1-> 2x2

即1个运动矢量代表16x16的画面的时候，该值取4；1个运动矢量代表8x8的画面的时候，该值取3...以此类推

6.motion_val

运动矢量表存储了一帧视频中的所有运动矢量。

该值的存储方式比较特别：

int16_t (*motion_val[2])[2];

为了弄清楚该值究竟是怎么存的，花了我好一阵子功夫...

注释中给了一段代码：

int mv_sample_log2= 4 - motion_subsample_log2;
int mb_width= (width+15)>>4;
int mv_stride= (mb_width << mv_sample_log2) + 1;
motion_val[direction][x + y*mv_stride][0->mv_x, 1->mv_y];

大概知道了该数据的结构：

1.首先分为两个列表L0和L1

2.每个列表（L0或L1）存储了一系列的MV（每个MV对应一个画面，大小由motion_subsample_log2决定）

3.每个MV分为横坐标和纵坐标（x,y）

注意，在FFMPEG中MV和MB在存储的结构上是没有什么关联的，第1个MV是屏幕上左上角画面的MV（画面的大小取决于motion_subsample_log2），第2个MV是屏幕上第1行第2列的画面的MV，以此类推。因此在一个宏块（16x16）的运动矢量很有可能如下图所示（line代表一行运动矢量的个数）：

//例如8x8划分的运动矢量与宏块的关系：
//-------------------------
//| | |
//|mv[x] |mv[x+1] |
//-------------------------
//| | |
//|mv[x+line]|mv[x+line+1]|
//-------------------------

7.mb_type

宏块类型表存储了一帧视频中的所有宏块的类型。其存储方式和QP表差不多。只不过其是uint32类型的，而QP表是uint8类型的。每个宏块对应一个宏块类型变量。

宏块类型如下定义所示：

//The following defines may change, don't expect compatibility if you use them.

#define MB_TYPE_INTRA16x16 0x0002 //FIXME H.264-specific

#define MB_TYPE_L1 (MB_TYPE_P0L1 | MB_TYPE_P1L1)
#define MB_TYPE_L0L1 (MB_TYPE_L0 | MB_TYPE_L1)
#define MB_TYPE_QUANT 0x00010000
#define MB_TYPE_CBP 0x00020000
//Note bits 24-31 are reserved for codec specific use (h264 ref0, mpeg1 0mv, ...)
