Abstract

We present a method for modeling the distortion-rate characteristics of compressed video sequences. It is assumed that the source coders rely on motion-compensated prediction, and thus error propagation will contribute significantly to the degradation of the reconstructed video. It is shown that through the use of the modeled characteristics source and channel coding rate can be allocated across frames in a video sequence in order to minimize the effects of error propagation
