Definitions
- This invention relates to a method and an apparatus for controlling the rate for encoding a video sequence and a video encoding device, wherein the available channel bandwidth and computational resources are taken into account .
- Rate control plays an important role in the encoding of live video over a channel with a limited bandwidth, for example over an internet or a wireless network, and has been widely studied by many researchers.
- Existing results on rate control as disclosed in [1], [2], [3], [4] are based on the assumption that the computational resources are always sufficient and hence, the desired encoding frame rate is always guaranteed.
- the computational resources of the Central Processing Unit may not always be sufficient for the encoding process. This is due to the fact that the computational resources of the CPU may be taken up by other processes having a higher priority.
- encoded bits are stored in a buffer before they are transmitted over the network to a decoder.
- the actual encoding frame rate is less than the desired frame rate, and the number of generated bits stored in buffer is too low. As a result, the available channel bandwidth is wasted. This phenomenon is especially common when the video encoding process is implemented on a handheld device with limited computational capabilities.
- the available channel bandwidth for the transmission of the video is. constant.
- the available channel bandwidth for the transmission of the video usually varies over time.
- the available bandwidth of the channel decreases, the number of bits in the buffer accumulates.
- the encoder usually skips some frames to reduce the buffer delay and to avoid buffer overflow. Frame skipping produces undesirable motion discontinuity in the video sequence.
- the object is achieved by a method for controlling the rate for encoding a video sequence, wherein the video sequence comprises a plurality of Group Of Pictures (GOP) , wherein each Group of Picture comprises at least an I-frame and an Inter-frame, the method comprising the following steps for the encoding of each Inter-frame in the Group of Picture; determining a desired frame rate based on an available bandwidth of a channel for transmitting the video sequence and on available computational resources for the encoding process; determining a target buffer level based on the desired frame rate and the position of the Inter-frame with respect to the I-frame; and determining a target bit rate based on the target buffer level and the available channel bandwidth, wherein the target bit rate is used for controlling the rate for encoding the video sequence.
- GOP Group Of Pictures
- the rate control method in particular the determining of the target buffer level and the corresponding target bit rate, is performed preferably on the P-frames of the GOPs, it should however be noted that the rate control method according to the invention may also be performed on the B-frames.
- a desired frame rate is first determined based on the available channel bandwidth and the available computational resources for the encoding process.
- the desired frame rate does not remain constant, but changes adaptively for each Inter-frame depending on the available channel bandwidth and the available computational resources.
- a target buffer level is therefore predefined to prevent buffer underflow by taking into account the available computational resource for the encoding process.
- the target buffer level defines how the total number of bits which are allocated to the GOP are to be distributed to each Inter-frame (preferably P-frame) of the GOP, i.e. the budget for each Inter-frame. However, there is normally a difference between the budget of each Inter-frame and the actual bits used by it. To ensure that each Inter-frame, and hence each GOP, uses its own budget, the target bit rate for each Inter-frame is computed. The target bit rate is computed using a fluid flow model and linear system control theory, and taking into account the target buffer level and the available channel bandwidth.
- the desired frame rate is determined by determining a target encoding time interval for the Inter-frame, preferably the P-frame, i.e. the time needed for encoding the Inter-frame.
- the target encoding time is inversely proportional to the desired frame rate, and is determined based on the available bandwidth and also preferably based on an average encoding time.
- the average encoding time interval for encoding the Inter-frame is proportional to the computational resources, and hence is indicative of the available computational resources.
- the available bandwidth can be estimated using the method disclosed in [6].
- the target encoding time interval for encoding the Inter- frame is determined using the following equations :
- T f i(n) is the target encoding time interval or the target time needed to encode the Inter-frame, i is a parameter wherein 0.80 ⁇ i ⁇ 1.00,
- a 2 is a parameter wherein 1.00 ⁇ A 2 ⁇ 1.10
- Bx is a parameter wherein 1.00 ⁇ Bi ⁇ 2.00
- u(n) is the available channel bandwidth
- T ave (n-1) is the average encoding time interval for the Inter-frame
- MAD(n) is the mean absolute difference between the current frame and the previous frame.
- Ai is preferably set at 0.9
- a 2 is preferably set at 1.05
- Bi is preferably set at 1.5
- B 2 is preferably set at 0.25.
- the value of the target encoding time interval T f i(n) obtained is preferably further adjusted using the following equation:
- the target encoding time interval T f i (n) is inversely related to the desired frame rate.
- T ave (n) is the average time interval for encoding the Inter- frame
- ⁇ is a weighting factor
- T c (n) is the actual time for encoding the Inter-frame
- F r is a predefined frame rate
- RT s t is further defined as
- RT 0 if RT ⁇ (n -l) or N posl ⁇ n) > 0 ,
- RT sl (n) max c (n),T fl (/. ) ⁇ + RT st (n - 1)- '-— ⁇
- N post (n) is the number of skipped frames due to buffer overflow and the lcl refers to the largest integer less than a.
- This simple method of adjusting the desired frame rate according to the invention is able to keep the quality of Inter-frames in a tolerable range under time-varying channel bandwidth and sudden motion change without obvious degradation in the perceptual motion smoothness.
- the desired frame rate is determined using information on the average encoding time interval T a .-e(n) . and hence based on the available computational resources .
- the target buffer level in each frame is predefined in a manner such that the more bits are allocated to the Inter-frames, preferably P-frames nearer to the I- frame of the GOP than the Inter-frames which are further away and belonging to the same GOP.
- Inter- frames which are near to the I-frame are encoded with a high quality, and subsequent Inter-frames which are predicted from these high quality Inter-frames are also of a high quality.
- the prediction gain based on these Inter-frames is improved.
- the target buffer level for the Inter-frame is predefined and determined using the following equation:
- Target (n) is the target buffer level
- N go is the number of frames in a GOP
- B s is the buffer size
- B c is the actual buffer occupancy after the coding of I- frame
- S c is an average number of frames skipped due to insufficient available computational resources for encoding the Inter-frame according to the desired frame rate
- W (I) is the position weight of the 1 th Inter-frame which satisfies
- the average number of skipped frames due to insufficient computational resources is determined based on an instant number of skipped frames S c (n) due to insufficient computational resources when the Inter-frame is encoded.
- the instant number of skipped frames due to insufficient computational resources is determined using information on the actual encoding time interval and the target encoding time interval. The determining of the instant number of skipped frames due to insufficient computational resources can be summarized using the following equations:
- T c is the actual encoding time interval
- F r is a predefined frame rate
- ⁇ is a weighting factor
- the advantage of using the average number of frames skipped S c instead of an instant number of skipped frames for computing the target buffer level is that the value of S c changes slowly. This slow change of S c coincides with a slow adjustment of a quantization parameter Q used for the encoding process of the video.
- the instant number of skipped frames S c (n) can be used instead of the average number of skipped frames S c (n) to determine the target buffer level.
- the target buffer level for the n th Inter- frame in the i th GOP can be simplified to become
- T arget(n) —— *_(*,,M* 5 _ ⁇ *W p ⁇ os ('n)
- the target buffer level of the current Inter-frame is greater than the target buffer level of the subsequent Inter-frames.
- more bits are allocated to the Inter-frame which is nearer to the I-frame belonging to the same GOP than the Inter-frame which is further away from the I-frame, i.e. from the Intra-frame.
- the target bit rate according to a preferred embodiment of the invention is determined based on the average encoding time interval, the average number of skipped frame due to insufficient computational resource, the target buffer level, the available channel bandwidth and the actual buffer occupancy.
- the target bit rate according to a preferred embodiment of the invention is determined using the following equation:
- f(n) is the target bit rate
- t n ,i is the time instant the n Inter-frame in the i th GOP is coded
- ⁇ is a constant
- the bit rate control method according to the invention is adaptive to both the available channel bandwidth and the available computational resources.
- the target bit rate for the Inter-frame determined above can be further adjusted by a weighted temporal smoothing using the following equation:
- f (n) is the smoothed target bit rate
- ⁇ is a weighting control factor constant
- H hdr (n) is the amount of bits used for shape information, motion vector and header of previous frame.
- the actual encoding time interval T f ⁇ (n) can be used instead of the average encoding time interval T ave (n) for determining the target bit rate.
- the advantage of using the average encoding time interval T ave instead of T c for the computation of the target bit rate is that T ave changes slowly. This also coincides with the slow adjustment of the quantization parameter Q for the encoding process of the video sequence. Also when the actual frame rate is less than the predefined frame rate, i.e.
- the corresponding quantization parameter for the encoding process can be computed, preferably using the Rate- Distortion (R-D) method described in [5] .

- An average encoding time interval T ave (n), or the average time interval needed for encoding an P-frame, is determined in step 108.
