A VIDEO ENCODING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING CONTENT ADAPTIVE RATE CONTROL

摘要

A video encoding system (200) provides content adaptive rate control that includes a visual analyzer (208) utilizing at least one visual analysis tool for processing a video frame to provide visual information describing the video frame. An encoder (204) generates encoding status information relating to the video frame being processed. A rate controller (206) is responsive to the encoding status information generated by the encoder (204) and the visual information generated by the visual analyzer (208) to generate a rate control adjustment signal. The encoder (204) is responsive to the rate control adjustment signal for encoding the video frame.
