<p>Optimised bit allocation is important in video compression to increase the coding efficiency, i.e. to make optimum use of the available data rate. In view of the human visual system, a human usually pays more attention to some part of a picture rather than to other parts of that picture. Therefore the bit allocation should be optimised for different-attention picture areas ( GOB i ). The inventive distortion-driven bit allocation scheme allocates the coding/decoding error distortion to picture areas consistently with the human visual system, and satisfies the constraint of bit rate as well. The invention uses a distortion/bitrate/rhoquantisation parameter histogram analysis. Based on corresponding tables ( D GOB i [ QP n ] , R GOB i [ QP n ] and Á GOB i [ QP n ]) , the relationships between quantisation parameter, rate, distortion and percentage of non-zero coefficients for the different-attention areas are determined (PREALUTI, DISALL, RALL). Thereafter a rho-domain bit rate control is used (RDBALL) for calculating the bit allocation inside each group of macroblocks.</p> |
