Project: Rate Control for Video Coding and Communication

PEOPLE

Zhihai He, S.K.Mitra

OBJECTIVE

Rate-distortion (R-D) analysis and rate control play a key role in video coding and communica­tion systems by providing the R-D optimized compression performance, assuring the successful network transmission of the coded video data, and achieving the best visual quality at the receiver. In conventional R-D analysis, the bit rate R and distortion D are considered as functions of the quantization parameter q. Thus, source models are developed in the q-domain. These source models either have very high computational complexity or suffer from relatively large estimation and control error. We are investigating a new framework for R-D analysis, called þ-domain analysis, where R and D functions are functions of a parameter denoted as þ.
