Abstract:
This paper presents an efficient rate control algorithm based on our content-adaptive initial quantization parameter setting scheme for H.264/AVC. For versatile video scenes, our algorithm can adaptively set an appropriate initial QP based on the textural complexity estimated from the first picture. In addition, our bit-allocation strategy effectively distributes the bit-rate budget based on the monotonic property to enhance the coding efficiency. Our proposed algorithm surpasses JVT-H014 rate control algorithm and Cauchy-density-based bit-allocation scheme in terms of average PSNR for about 0.47 dB and 0.81 dB respectively. Besides, our algorithm provides more impressive visual quality and more robust buffer controllability.
