Abstract
This paper proposes a new basic unit level rate control algorithm which generates the output bits corresponding to the target bits. The H.264 standard uses various coding modes and optimization methods to improve the compression performance, which makes it difficult to control the generated traffic accurately. In the proposed scheme, the allocated bits to a frame are distributed to all basic units properly to encode each basic unit according to the bit budget. After encoding the frame, the encoding parameters are adjusted according to the difference between the target and the resulting values. It is shown by experimental results that the new algorithm can generate output bit rates accurately corresponding to the target bit rates with the PSNR performance better than that of the existing rate control algorithm.
