| Abstract: |
This paper proposes new buffer and VO distortion feedback compensation mechanisms for dealing with deviations between the ideal and the actual behavior of video scene encoders when jointly encoding multiple arbitrarily shaped VOs in the context of compliant low-delay object-based MPEG-4 video coding. The proposed solution computes target buffer occupancies for each encoding time instant based on the amount and complexity of the video data to encode, and the bit allocation for each encoding time instant is feedback adjusted according to deviations relatively to this ideal behavior. Additionally, each VO bit allocation is feedback adjusted based on the relative distortion of the various VOs in the scene. The proposed solution outperforms the MPEG-4 reference rate control algorithm for a wide range of bit rates and spatio-temporal resolutions, for typical test sequences. |
