Since the H.264 encoding adopts both forward prediction and hi-direction prediction modes and exploits Variable Length Coding(VLC), the amount of data generated from video encoder varies as Flaying time goes by. The fixed bit rate encoding system which has limited transmission channel capacity uses a buffer to control output bitstream It's necessary to control the bitstream to maintain within manageable range so as to protect buffer from overflow or underflow. With existing bit amount control algorithms, the $\lambda_{MODE}$ which is relationship between distortion value and quantization parameter often excesses normal value to end up with video error. This paper proposes an algorithm to protect buffer from overflow or underflow by introducing a new quantization parameter against distortion value of H.264 video data. The test results of 6 exemplary data show that the proposed algorithm has the same PSNR as and up to 8% reduced bit rate against existing algorithms.

This paper presents a novel DCT-based embedded zero-tree coding and optimal bit allocation algorithm for image sequence coding. In order to fully utilize the structure of the conventional standard coding algorithm and improve the coding efficiency, motion estimation and compensation(ME/MC)-DCT hybrid coding structure and a modified zero-tree coding algorithm are applied. After the rearrangement DCT coefficients into pyramidal structure according to their significance on the decoded image quality, the modified embedded zero-tree coding is performed on layered coefficients. Moreover, for a given overall bit rates, a new optimal bit control scheme is proposed to achieve the best decoded image quality in the consecutive frames. The rate control scheme can also provide the equal quality of decoded image with the control of bit rate and distortion for each frame. The various simulation results are provided to evaluate the coding performance of the proposed scheme.

HDTV는 DTV에 비해 공간해상도가 4∼6배 이상됨에 따라 처리할 샘플수가 증가하게 된다. 따라서 기존의 DTV급으로 개발된 칩세트나 코덱을 그대로 HDTV 코덱 개발에 적용하기가 어렵게 된다. 따라서 HDTV의 높은 샘플링 주파수 때문에 HDTV 코덱은 화면분할 방식과 같은 새로운 코덱 구조를 가지게 되며, 그 분할된 각각은 기존의 DTV급 코덱으로 처리할 수 있게 된다. 이 때 각 대역마다 발생되는 부호화된 비트수가 다르기 때문에 일정한 전송율로 채널을 통하여 전송되기 위해서 버퍼 및 율제어 방식에 필요하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 각 대역별 영상의 특성과 버퍼 상황에 따라 적응적으로 율제어를 수행함으로써 화질의 균일성을 도모하고 부호화 효율을 증가시킬 수 있는 새로운 율제어 방식을 제안하였다. 또한 장면 전환이 발생했을 때에도 적응적으로 율제어를 수행할 수 있는 장면전환 검출 및 이를 이용한 적응적 율제어방식을 제안하였다.

In this paper, we propose a novel blocking effect reduction method based on a rational B-spline. The blocking effect results from independent coding of each image block and becomes highly visible especially coded at very low bit rates. The proposed approach adopts a rational open uniform B-spline curve that used to produce a smooth curve through a set of control points. The pixels on the block boundary are treated as control points, and the weight values, which decide the shape of curve, are determined differentially by considering the distance the position of the pixels and that of the block boundary. The simulation results show that the proposed method has excellent performance for all pattern of the blocking effect with less computational complexity.
