Abstract:

The new High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard is targeted for high-resolution video contents that are suitable for many high-delay video communications applications, such as video streaming. A few-rate control algorithms (RCAs) have been proposed for the HEVC in the literature. Almost all state-of-the-art RCAs proposed for the HEVC are optimized for constant bit rate low-delay applications. In order to reach a higher visual quality in high-delay applications, such as video streaming, a proportional integral derivative (PID)-fuzzy RCA with the buffering constraint is proposed for the HEVC in this paper. The proposed RCA is designed to minimize fluctuations of quantization parameter (QP) while the buffering constraints are fully obeyed. Unlike conventional fuzzy-PID algorithms that use a PID controller for control and a fuzzy system for tuning the PID parameters, the proposed algorithm uses a fuzzy controller with proportional, integral, and derivative inputs. A base QP is calculated for each group of picture (GOP) by the PID-fuzzy controller and determined QP offsets are added to the base QP to obtain the QP of frames at different temporal layers in the GOP. Experimental results indicate that high rate-distortion performance, fulfilled buffering constraint, and the high visual quality of compressed video are gained simultaneously by the proposed algorithm with low computational complexity.
