Scene adaptive rate control in H.264 video codec

This paper studies scene adaptive bit rate control to improve the performance of existing H.264 video codec. By maximizing the feature vector distance between multi-modal clusters in a hyper-sphere space, a Bhattacharyya distance based metrics has been utilized to quantify the scene change. Moreover, a low rank Cholesky factorization has been adopted to compute the approximate Bhattacharyya distance quite efficiently. Then an adaptive GOP structure and quantization parameter adjustment is proposed to optimize the rate control. Video sequence in the video trace database is simulated and the experimental results demonstrate that our proposed approaches are quite effective with the characteristics of the error resilience to network packet losses and low complexity.
