Abstract

This paper presents a rate control method that minimizes global distortion under given target bit rates for video communication. This method makes the quality of reconstructed images better than that of the conventional ones based on R-D model at the same bit rates. Given a set of quantizers, a sequence of macroblocks to be quantized selects the optimal quantizer for each macroblock so that the total cost measure is minimized and the finite buffer is never in overflow. To solve this problem we provide a heuristic algorithm based on Lagrangian optimization using an operational rate-distortion framework and a quantization method follows H.263recommendation.

본 논문은 동영상 통신을 함에 있어 목표 전송률이 주어졌을 때 왜곡이 최소가 되도록 양자화하는 방법을 제안한다. 이 방법을 이용하게 되면 같은 발생 비트량이라 할지라도 기존의 R-D 모델기반 비트율 제어 방법에 비해 재구성된 영상의 화질을 향상시킬 수 있다. 문제는 하나의 양자화 집합이 주어졌을 때 전체 왜곡이 최소가 되고 버퍼 오버플로우가 발생하지 않은범위 내에서 매크로 블록 당 양자화 집합에 존재하는 최적의 양자화 계수를 선택하려는 것인데, 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 동작 왜곡 비트율 이론을 이용한 라그랑즈 승수 기법을 도입하였으며, 양자화 방법은 H.263의 권고를 따랐다.
