Bit allocation for joint coding of multiple video programs
Limin Wang, André Vincent · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 1997
By dynamically distributing the channel capacity among video programs according to their respective scene complexities, joint coding has been a shown to be more efficient than independent coding for compression of multiple video programs. This paper examines the bit allocation issue for joint coding of multiple video programs and provides a bit allocation strategy that results in uniform picture quality among programs as will as within a program.
