A rate and distortion analysis for H.264/AVC video coding
Zhenzhong Chen · 2008
This paper addresses the rate and distortion analysis problem in H.264/AVC video coding. It is well known that such an analysis is important in video coding. Exploring the relationship between the quantization and rate-distortion information of video signal can assist with the control strategies in the coding process. A novel algorithm of the rate and distortion analysis for H.264/AVC video coding is presented. The rate and distortion characteristics of video signal are approximated and estimated using statistical learning. When compared to traditional methods, the proposed method provides better approximation and estimation accuracy for the rate and distortion analysis in H.264/AVC video coding.
