METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING COMPUTATIONAL COMPLEXITY OF VIDEO ENCODING

摘要

PURPOSE: A method for controlling calculation complexity of video encoding and a device for the same are provided to control the complexity before video encoding and maintaining the level of desired encoding speed and encoding efficiency, thereby improving the quality of the video encoding in a mobile terminal. CONSTITUTION: A candidate mode selection unit(304) determines candidate mode capable about macro blocks. A complexity level setting unit(305) sets complexity level about each macro blocks. A complexity calculator(307) calculates the whole complexity of current frame. To make the whole complexity of a current frame under a target complexity, a complexity level control unit successively reduces the complexity level.
