    摘要: Some embodiments of the invention provide a method for specifying a bit allocation for encoding a set of images in a sequence of video images. The method computes a masking value for one or more images. The method computes a bit allocation for a current image based on the computed masking value of one or more images. In some embodiments, the method further ascertains a total number of bits used for images that have been already encoded before computing the bit allocation. The computed bit allocation for the current image is also based on the total number of bits used in some embodiments of the invention. In some embodiments, the method specifies a bit allocation for the current image by specifying a quantization parameter (QP) value for the current image. The method then adjusts the specified QP value based on a categorization of the current image. Examples of such categorizations include: (1) category 1 images, which are images at natural scene changes or images that collectively capture a fast motion, (2) category 2 images, which are imaged forced to be intrablock encoded and are not category 1 images, (3) category 3 images, which are images that should be easy to encode, (4) category 4 images, which are images at the transition between simple and difficult images, and (5) category 5 images, which are images that do not fall in the other categories. In some embodiments, the sequence of frames is divided into a set of blocks, where each block has (1) a size and (2) a bit allocation. Some embodiments dynamically adjust the size of the blocks during the encoding operation. In some embodiments, unused bits allocated to a first block are rolled over to a second block. In other embodiments, only some of the unused bits are rolled over to the second block.

    摘要: A novel multi-pass encoding method that encodes several images (e.g., several frames of a video sequence) is described. The method iteratively performs an encoding operation that encodes these images. The encoding operation is based on a nominal quantization parameter, which the method uses to compute quantization parameter for the images. During several different iterations of the encoding operation, the method uses several different nominal quantization parameters. The method stops its iterations when it reaches a terminating criterion (e.g., it identifies an acceptable encoding of the images).

    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: A method of encoding a sequence of video images is described. The method receives the sequence of video images. The method iteratively examines different encoding solutions for the sequence of video images to identify an encoding solution that optimizes image quality while meeting a target bit rate and satisfying a set of constraints regarding flow of encoded data through an input buffer of a hypothetical reference decoder for decoding the encoded video sequence. The iterative examining includes, for each encoding solution, determining whether the hypothetical reference decoder underflows while processing the encoding solution for any set of images within the video sequence.
