Abstract--The rate control problem has been extensively studied in parallel to the development of the different video coding standards. The bit allocation via Cauchy-density-based ...
This paper presents a revised rate control scheme based on an improved frame complexity measure. Rate control adopted by both MPEG-4 VM18 and H.264/AVC use a quadratic rate-distor...
Abstract--An error resilient video streaming scheme that transmits offline coded H.264/AVC video through erroneous channels, called the alternative macroblock coding (AMC) scheme, ...
In many modern video encoders, motion estimation is usually formulated as a Lagrangian cost function that balances motion prediction accuracy and the rate to transmit motion vecto...
—The coding performance can be further improved when the hierarchical B-picture coding is introduced into H.264/AVC. However, the existing rate control schemes can NOT work effic...
