A Low Complexity Macroblock Layer Rate Control Scheme Base on Weighted-Window for H.264 Encoder
نویسندگان
چکیده
Rate control plays a very important role in video coding. A low complexity macroblock (MB) layer rate control scheme for H.264 encoder is presented in this paper. Based on the analysis of the relationship among the quantization parameter (QP), mean absolute distortion (MAD) and the coded bits, a weighted-window model is proposed. A weighted-window based QP decision and MAD prediction model is proposed to reduce the computational complexity of MB-layer rate control. A new rate control scheme based on these models is presented in detail. The experimental results show that the proposed scheme gives a quality improvement of about 0.80dB on the average for all sequences, and about 58% reduction in bit rate mismatch.

Combined Inter-intra Prediction for High Definition Video Coding
In rate−distortion optimized video coding, such as H.264, a macroblock uses either Inter or Intra prediction as its compensation method, which exploits temporal or spatial correlation alternatively for compression. In this paper, analysis and experimental results show that Inter and Intra prediction can be combined to generate a more accurate prediction especially for high definition video. A w...

Bit rate adaptation is one of the basic problems in universal multimedia access. Therefore, in many cases, there exists a strong requirement for a very fast transcoding implementation. Usually, open-loop transcoding architecture is the desired solution with the lowest computational complexity. However, severe drift error makes it infeasible to most applications. In this paper, we propose a drif...
