<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide adaptive frame skipping techniques for rate controlled video encoding. <P>SOLUTION: The disclosure is directed to adaptive frame skipping techniques for rate controlled video encoding of a video sequence. According to the disclosed techniques, an encoder performs frame skipping in an intelligent manner that can improve video quality of the encoded sequence relative to encoding using conventional frame skipping. In particular, the disclosed frame skipping scheme is adaptive and considers motion activity of the video frames in order to identify certain frames that can be skipped without sacrificing significant video quality. The described frame skipping techniques may take into account a tradeoff between spatial and temporal quality of different video frames. In this manner, the techniques can allocate limited resources between the spatial and temporal quality in a way that can improve visual appearance of a video sequence. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
