Abstract

In High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), a rate control module usually relies on a bitrate model (representing the bitrate as a function of video content statistics and control parameters of the codec) to control the encoder to achieve the target bitrate. Existing bitrate models are not accurate due to their sensitivity to dynamic change of video content. To address this limitation, this paper proposes a new bitrate model, which represents the bit rate of motion-compensated residual as a function of the statistics of Mean Absolute Partial Transformed Difference (MAPTD) of video content and Lagrange multiplier λ specifically, we observe that at the coefficient group level, the relationship between the bitrate and MAPT-D is stable against the variation of coding unit (CU) size, transform unit (TU) size, image resolution and content. Experimental results show that our model can achieve superior performance in frame-level residue-bit-rate estimation, compared with state-of-the-art bitrate models.
