In this paper, a balanced bitrate control in transcoding process based on video complexity measure for multi-view system which simultaneously shows multiple channels or video contents in single screen, is proposed. In order to consider the total quality of multiple video streams, the proposed algorithm reduces the complexity of multiple video stream and video quality differences at the same time by controlling bitrates of each stream by weighting when they are stitched for single screen. For the measure of complexity and quality differences between video streams, two different data: histogram of macroblock type and bitrate for each stream are used. The experimental result indicates that proposed algorithm decreases fluctuation of quality difference between videos in the multi-view system.

MPEG-4 Visual은 객체 기반의 동영상 압축 국제 표준으로서 멀티미디어 통신에서부터 HDTV에 이르는 광범위한 응용 분야를 지원하기 위해 설계되었다. MPEG-4 표준안은 디코더에서 처리 가능한 디코딩 복잡도를 제한하기 위해 3가지 Video Buffering Verifier 모델을 정의하고 있다. 그 중 VCV 모델은 비트스트림을 매크로블록 단위로 디코딩하는 처리 속도에 대한 제한을 정의하고 있으며, 경계와 비경계 MB 두 가지만을 구별하는 VCV와 B-VCV 모델이 있다. 본 논문에서는 최적화된 MPEG-4 Reference Software를 이용하여 직사각형 객체와 임의 형상 객체 그리고 HDTV 해상도를 지원하는 다양한 코딩 타입에 대한 MB 디코딩 시간을 측정하여 디코딩 복잡도를 평가하였다. 실험결과 디코딩 복잡도가 코딩 타입에 따라 많은 차이가 있으며 디코더에서 이용 가능한 리소스의 더욱 효율적인 사용이 가능함을 보여주었다.

A fast intra skip detection algorithm based on the ratedistortion (RD) cost for an inter frame (P-slices) is proposed for H.264/AVC video encoding. In the H.264/AVC coding standard, a robust rate-distortion optimization technique is used to select the best coding mode and reference frame for each macroblock (MB). There are three types of intra predictions according to profiles. These are $16{\times}16$ and $4{\times}4$ intra predictions for luminance and an $8{\times}8$ intra prediction for chroma. For the high profile, an $8{\times}8$ intra prediction has been added for luminance. The $4{\times}4$ prediction mode has 9 prediction directions with 4 directions for $16{\times}16$ and $8{\times}8$ luma, and $8{\times}8$ chrominance. In addition to the inter mode search procedure, an intra mode search causes a significant increase in the complexity and computational load for an inter frame. To reduce the computational load of the intra mode search at the inter frame, the RD costs of the neighborhood MBs for the current MB are used and we propose an adaptive thresholding scheme for the intra skip extraction. We verified the performance of the proposed scheme through comparative analysis of experimental results using joint model reference software. The overall encoding time was reduced up to 32% for the IPPP sequence type and 35% for the IBBPBBP sequence type.
