Title: Variable bit rate video encoding method and device
Inventor: BAGNI DANIELE
IPC: G06T9/00
Filed: 2002-06-11
Abstract: A method for controlling the bit-rate of a
bitstream (OS) of encoded video signals at a variable
bitrate (VBR), the bitstream being generated by
compressing a video sequence of moving pictures (IS),
wherein each picture comprises a plurality of
macroblocks of pixels compressed by any of transform
coding (DCT), temporal prediction, bi-dimensional
motion compensated interpolation or combinations
thereof, to produce any of I and/or P and/or B frames,
the method involving quantization of said macroblocks
effected as a function of a quantization parameter
( mquant ). The method includes the steps of:
     defining a target bit-rate ( target_bitrate ) as
well as maximum positive ( max_err_pos ) and negative
( max_err_neg ) error values between the target bit-rate
and an average value of the current bit-rate of the
bitstream (OS),   controlling the current bit-rate in order to
constrain it between said maximum positive and negative
error values, and   defining an allowed range of variation for
updating at least one reference parameter ( Q base   )
representative of the average value of the quantization
parameter  (mquant)  over each picture, wherein said
allowed range is determined as a function of the target
bit-rate ( target_bitrate ) and the maximum positive and
negative error values ( max_err_pos, max_err_neg ).
