In this paper, we review the recent advances in rate control techniques for video coding. The
rate control algorithms recommended in the video coding standards are briefly described …

Rate control is a useful tool for video coding, especially in real-time communication
applications. Most of existing rate control algorithms are based on the RQ model, which …

We propose a rate-distortion optimization (RDO) scheme based on the structural similarity
(SSIM) index, which was found to be a better indicator of perceived image quality than mean …

Image-based rendering (IBR) refers to a collection of techniques and representations that
allow 3D scenes and objects to be visualized in a realistic way without full 3D model …

Video streaming usage has seen a significant rise as entertainment, education, and
business increasingly rely on online video. Optimizing video compression has the potential …

A new rate control scheme for H. 264 video encoding with enhanced rate and distortion
models is proposed in this work. Compared with existing H. 264 rate control schemes, our …

Rate control typically involves two steps: bit allocation and bitrate control. The bit allocation
step can be implemented in various fashions depending on how many levels of allocation …

In today's hybrid video coding, Rate-Distortion Optimization (RDO) plays a critical role. It
aims at minimizing the distortion under a constraint on the rate. Currently, the most popular …

Online video service becomes prevalent nowadays, as people are accustomed to getting
information in the form of videos. While home users can easily retrieve all kinds of contents …

In this paper, a Rate-GOP based frame level rate control scheme is proposed for High
Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC). The proposed scheme is developed with the consideration …
