Lijun Luo, Cairong Zou, Zhenya He · IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems for Video Technology · 1997
The bit-number allocation strategy of Test Model 5 (TM5) may cause the coding quality to decrease and the buffer to overflow at scene changes, therefore a new algorithm on MPEG-2 target bit-number allocation is proposed in this letter. Here the influence of scene changes on coding quality is analyzed and an approach to improve the coding performance at scene changes is presented to avoid a sharp quality decrease of scene-change frames. Simulation results indicate that this algorithm provides a promising coding quality at scene changes.
