Computational Management of an H.264 Encoder
نویسندگان
چکیده
A complexity management approach is proposed for an H.264 encoder running in a processor/power constrained environment. The objective is to maintain smooth video frame rate whilst ensuring that the frame quality is not degraded unacceptably. Subjective results show that the managed complexity encoder outperforms the normal encoder (where frames are dropped when processing power is limited) consistently.

Computational Control of an H.264 Encoder through Lagrangian Cost Function Estimation
A complexity control algorithm for an H.264 encoder is proposed. Computational savings are achieved by early prediction of skipped macroblocks prior to motion estimation through estimating a Lagrangian ratedistortion-complexity cost function. A feedback control algorithm ensures that the encoder maintains a predefined target computational complexity. Simulation results demonstrate that the algo...
