摘要： In general, this disclosure describes techniques for exchanging information between a plurality of encoder modules and a multiplex module to combine segments of data from the encoder modules with an improved overall quality. In particular, the encoder modules associate their respective segments of data with quality and rate information and send at least the quality and rate information associated with the segments of data to the multiplex module. The multiplex module analyzes the quality and rate information to determine whether the segments of data that encoder modules desire to include in the current superframe fit within the available bandwidth of a transmission channel. If the multiplex module determines the plurality of segments of data do not fit within the available bandwidth, the multiplex module selects one or more of the segments to be resized based on the quality and rate information received from the encoder modules.

摘要： This disclosure describes techniques for coding mode selection. In particular, an encoding device determines whether or not to code a block of pixels in a coding mode currently being considered for selection using information associated with at least one other coding mode with a different block partition. In one aspect, the encoding device uses information associated with at lest one coding mode that has block partitions that are sub-partitions of the block partitions of the coding mode currently being considered for selection. Additionally, the encoding device may use information associated with another coding mode that has the same block partitions as the coding mode currently being considered for selection or information associated with the coding mode currently being considered for selection.

摘要： This disclosure describes techniques for coding mode selection using estimated coding costs. To provide high compression efficiency, for example, an encoding device may attempt to select a coding mode for coding blocks of pixels that codes the data of the blocks with high efficiency. To this end, the encoding device may perform coding mode selection based on estimates of coding cost for at least a portion of the possible modes. In accordance with the techniques described herein, the encoding device estimates the coding cost for the different modes without actually coding the blocks. In fact, in some aspects, the encoding module device may estimate the coding cost for the modes without quantizing the data of the block for each mode. In this manner, the coding cost estimation techniques of this disclosure reduce the amount of computationally intensive calculations needed to perform effective mode selection.
