Abstract:

An initial quantity parameter (QP) prejudgment (IQPP) algorithm that can predict the initial QP precisely is proposed based on statistics of encoded frames and frame complexity eigenvalue of I frame. Experimental results show that IQPP algorithm will greatly enhance the performance of rate control and rate-distortion optimization (RDO). The average peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) will be improved compared to traditional method and a constant picture quality has been achieved at low bit rates.

Key words: video encoder, rate control, H.264, quantity parameter, rate-distortion optimization
