An improved frame-layer bit allocation scheme for H.264/AVC rate control is proposed.First,current frame is pre-encoded in 16×16 modes with a fixed quantization parameter(QP).The frame coding complexity is then measured based on the resulting bits and peak signal-to-ratio(PSNR) in the pre-coding stage.Finally,a bit budget is calculated for current frame according to its coding complexity and inter-frame PSNR fluctuation,combined with the buffer status.Simulation results show that,in comparison with the H.264 adopted rate control scheme, our method is more efficient to suppress the sharp PSNR drops caused by high motions and scene changes.The visual quality variations in a sequence are also relieved.展开更多

文摘In this paper,we aim at improving the video quality degradation due to high motions or scene changes. An improved frame-layer bit allocation scheme for H.264/AVC rate control is proposed.First,current frame is pre-encoded in 16×16 modes with a fixed quantization parameter(QP).The frame coding complexity is then measured based on the resulting bits and peak signal-to-ratio(PSNR) in the pre-coding stage.Finally,a bit budget is calculated for current frame according to its coding complexity and inter-frame PSNR fluctuation,combined with the buffer status.Simulation results show that,in comparison with the H.264 adopted rate control scheme, our method is more efficient to suppress the sharp PSNR drops caused by high motions and scene changes.The visual quality variations in a sequence are also relieved.
