Constant Quality Video Encoding

چکیده

Lossy video compression algorithms, such as those used in the H.261 and MPEG standards, result in quality degradation seen in the form of tiling, edge busyness, and mosquito noise. The number of bits required to encode a scene so as to achieve a given quality objective depends on the scene content; the more complex the scene is, the more bits are required. Therefore, in order to achieve a given video quality at all times, the encoder parameters must be appropriately adjusted according to the scene content. In this paper , we propose a video encoding scheme which maintains the quality of the encoded video at a constant level. This scheme is based on a quantitative video quality measure, and it uses a feedback control mechanism to control the parameters of the encoder. We evaluate this scheme by applying it to test sequences, and compare it with Constant Bit Rate and Open-Loop Variable Bit Rate schemes in terms of quality and rate. We show that our scheme achieves better quality than the other two schemes for a given total number of bits, particularly when the content has scene changes over time.

A Constant Quality MPEG - 1 Video Encoding Scheme and itsTra

In this paper, we introduce a video encoder control scheme for MPEG-1, which maintains the quality of the encoded video at a constant level. This scheme is based on a quantitative video quality measure, and it uses a feedback control mechanism to adjust the parameters of the encoder. We evaluate this scheme by applying it to several types of video sequences, and comparing it with the Constant B...

Pre-Encoding PQoS Assessment Method for Optimized Resource Utilization

This paper presents an assessment method for fast and quantified estimation of the Perceived Quality of Service (PQoS) for homogeneous MPEG-4 video content, enabling optimized utilization of the corresponding storage and bandwidth resources. Besides, the Mean Perceived Quality of Service (MPQoS) as a function of the video encoding rate is introduced and exploited as a metric for objective video...

A Feedback Control Scheme for Low Latency Constant Quality Mpeg-2 Video Encoding

This paper describes a coding control scheme for MPEG-2 which maintains the perceived video quality constant, and is suitable for real-time and low latency encoding. We have chosen a Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) scheme for the controller similarly to the works presented in 1,2 , and we adopt the same approach in designing the particular PID feedback function. The main reason for using...

Two-pass MPEG-2 variable-bit-rate encoding

Many MPEG-2 encoding applications are realtime; this implies that the video signal must be encoded with no significant lookahead. However, there exist non-real-time applications that do enable us to first analyze a video sequence entirely, and, using the analysis results, to optimize a second encoding pass of the same data. One example of such an application is the digital video disk (DVD), whi...
