Research on adaptive rate control algorithm for H.264 based on R-Q model
Abstract
The foundation theory of rate control theory in H.264 video coding standard was analyzed.The latest research work about rate control algorithm were summarized.On the basis of analysis.A novel frame-level rate control algorithm was proposed.Firstly,in order to reduce the inter-dependency between RDO (rate-distortion optimization) and rate control,a kind of two-stage rate control algorithm was presented.Secondly,to provide more accurate prediction of the frame complexity,instead of the MAD (mean absolute difference),bits information in the RDO-based mode decision process was employed to predict the frame complexity.Thirdly,a self-adaptive exponential R-Q model was proposed.The proposed rate control algorithm overcomes the disadvantages in the rate control precision and encoding performance of former algorithms.
