초록

본 논문에서는 실시간 H.264/AVC를 위한 적응적인 프레임 단위 비트율 제어 기법에 대해 제안한다. QP값에 의한 프레임당 발생 비트량은 영상의 특성에 따라 다양하게 발생하고 있으며, 부호화하고자 하는 프레임은 인접한 프레임들과의 일정한 상관관계를 유지하는 특성이 존재한다. 제안 방식은 이러한 통계적 특성을 이용하여, 영상의 특성별 QP값에 따른 발생 비트량을 적용시키기 위하여 예측된 영상의 복잡도에 따라 QP값에 대한 발생 비트량의 변화를 구하여 부호화하고자 하는 프레임의 예측 비트량에 적용하고 이전 프레임들의 통계 정보인 QP와 발생비트량과의 가중치를 이용하여 현재 프레임의 복잡도를 예측한다. 실험 결과를 통해 동일 비트율에서 PSNR 성능 저하없이 기존 방식 대비 99%이상 계산량 감소가 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this paper, we propose an adaptive rate control in frame-level for real-time H.264/AVC. For given QP, bits according to video characteristics, and current frame is close correlation between the adjacent frames. Using the statistical characteristic, we obtain change of occurrence bit about QP to apply the bit amount by QP from the video characteristic and applied in the estimated bit amount of the current frame. In addition, we use weight with QP and occurrence bit amount that is statistical information of encoded previous frames. Simulation results show that the proposed rate control scheme achieves time saving of more than 99% over JM 12.1 rate control algorithm. Nevertheless, PSNR and bit rate were almost same as the performances of JM.
