摘要:
A rate control system is disclosed for video coding applications. The rate controller assigns a quantization parameter for video data in a picture in response to complexity indicators indicative of spatial complexity, motion complexity and/or bits per pel of the picture. A virtual buffer based quantizer parameter is proposed based on a virtual buffer fullness analysis and a target rate estimate, which is derived from the complexity indicators. A second quantizer parameter is proposed from a linear regression analysis of quantizer parameters used to code previously coded pictures of similar type (e.g., I pictures, P pictures or B pictures). A coding policy decision unit defines a final quantizer parameter from a comparison of the two proposed quantizer parameters.

摘要:
An encoder includes an encoder engine, a storage device and a controller to implement an iterative coding process. The encoder engine compresses a selected portion of a data sequence. The storage device stores the compressed portion of the data sequence after each iteration. The controller selects the portion of the data sequence to compress for each iteration. The controller gathers statistics from the compressed portion of the data sequence. The gathered statistics include statistics generated by the selected frames and statistics extrapolated from the selected frames for the non-selected frames. The controller adjusts coding parameters of the encoder engine on each iteration until the gathered statistics meet a specified performance requirement.

摘要:
This invention is directed to a video bit rate control method for encoding a video sequence based on a decoder buffer condition and a group of picture (GOP) size limitation of the encoded video sequence. The method includes iteratively adjusting a quantization parameter and/or a masking strength parameter and encoding the video sequence at the adjusted parameters until the buffer condition and GOP size limitation are satisfied. The method makes the above adjustments to avoid buffer underflow and GOP oversizing.
摘要:
An encoder includes a parser, a plurality of encoder engines and an assembler. The parser divides a portion of a received digital data stream into a plurality of segments having a begin boundary and an end boundary. The plurality of encoder engines independently encode the plurality of segments to accommodate a begin buffer status condition corresponding to each begin boundary and an end buffer status condition corresponding to each end boundary, thereby producing a plurality of corresponding encoded segments. The assembler combines the plurality of encoded segments to form a portion of an encoded digital data stream. The encoder engines verify the begin and the end buffer status conditions are satisfied for each encoded segment and also verify each encoded segment prevents an overflow and an underflow of a modeled decoder buffer. Any violating segment is re-encoded and re-verified prior to assembly.
