Abstract

The rate control problem for scalable wavelet video coding system based on motion compensated temporal filtering (MCTF) has been studied in this paper, we first investigate and verify the rate-distortion (RD) function for the temporal frames, and estimate the coding efficiency parameters. Optimal rate allocation among the frames in the group is then examined based on the Lagrangian optimization method, and a rate control strategy related to the variance and coding efficiency parameter of the temporal frames has been presented, the algorithm and its complexity is suitable for video applications. Experiments show that compared with the fixed rate allocation, the proposed rate control strategy can obviously improve the average PSNR.
