Improved ρ-domain rate control with accurate header size estimation
نویسندگان
چکیده
ρ-domain rate control has been shown to be a simple yet effective rate control approach for DCT-based hybrid video codecs. When it is applied to H.264/AVC, improvements need to be made because of the large amount of header information and the QP-dependent Rate Distortion Optimization (RDO). In this paper, we propose a novel rate model to estimate the size of header information accurately. We present a two-stage rate control algorithm which combines the proposed header rate model and the ρ-domain source model. In comparison to the original ρ-domain rate control algorithm without header size estimation, our scheme not only improves the PSNR of the decoded video, but also achieves the target bit rates more accurately.

Quality of experience-driven multi-dimensional video adaptation
Video adaptation is a key technology for universal video access in heterogeneous communication environments. The main challenge in this context is the selection of an optimal combination of Multi-Dimensional Adaptation (MDA) operations (such as spatial down-sampling, frame dropping and adjustment of quantization parameters) to maximize the user’s Quality of Experience (QoE) under certain resour...
متن کاملEfficient quantization parameter estimation in HEVC based on ρ-domain
This paper proposes a quantization parameter estimation algorithm for HEVC CTU rate control. Several methods were proposed, mostly based on Lagrangian optimization combined with Laplacian distribution for transformed coefficients. These methods are accurate but increase the encoder complexity. This paper provides an innovative reduced complexity algorithm based on a ρ-domain rate model. Indeed,...

In this paper, we propose a method to improve the performance of initial channel estimation (CE) for the multiband-OFDM (MB-OFDM) UWB. The performance of the initial CE can be generally improved as increasing the number of the used preamble symbols. The MB-OFDM specification presents two CE symbols per band in preamble format. The performance of CE estimation with two CE symbols may be satisfie...
