<p>This disclosure describes rules that may be applied during block-based video coding to ensure that quantization parameter selections for luma blocks will not adversely affect the quality of chroma blocks. In accordance with this disclosure, rate-controlled video encoding occurs in which quantization parameter changes in luma blocks are pre-evaluated to determine whether such quantization parameter changes in luma blocks will also cause quantization changes for chroma blocks. If quantization parameter changes in the luma blocks will also cause quantization changes for chroma blocks, then that quantization parameter change for luma blocks may be skipped and not evaluated. In this way, secondary effects of quantization parameter changes in the luma blocks (with respect to the chroma blocks) can be avoided.</p> |
