This paper provides a systematic rate-distortion (RD) analysis of the dead-zone plus uniform
threshold scalar quantization (DZ+ UTSQ) with nearly uniform reconstruction quantization …

Accurately estimating the resultant quality or distortion associated with quantization
parameter (QP) is very helpful to video encoding. In this research, a content-adaptive …

In this paper, we propose a novel two-pass rate control algorithm to achieve constant quality
for H. 264/AVC high definition video coding. With the first-pass collected rate and distortion …

In the first part of this paper, we derive a source model describing the relationship between
the rate, distortion, and quantization steps of the dead-zone plus uniform threshold scalar …

In this paper, a novel rate control scheme with sliding window basic unit is proposed to
achieve consistent or smooth visual quality for H. 264/AVC based video streaming. A sliding …

Inter-frame dependencies are usually ignored in video encoder coding parameter selection.
This gives a non-optimal solution and degrades the compression performance. A …

Multi-pass encoding is preferred over single-pass encoding for applications such as
television broadcasting and video on demand to obtain a consistent visual quality media …

Multi‐pass encoding is preferred over single‐pass encoding for applications such as
television broadcasting and video on demand to obtain a consistent visual quality media …

In this paper, we first employ rate-distortion (RD) modeling to derive the source model for H.
264 video coding. This source model consists of the distortion-quantization (DQ) model and …

In video broadcast systems, the principal objective is to obtain the best possible visual
quality at a specific rate constraint and channel settings. Traditional methods for …
