Abstract

In video transcoding, useful coding statistics become available when the input video stream is decoded. It is possible to utilize these statistics to improve the transcoding performance. In this paper we investigate how to use these statistics to perform the picture bit-allocation for transcoding a pre-encoded video bit-stream. We propose a scheme to estimate the complexities of the pictures of the output video using the coding statistics computed from the input video stream. Based on the estimated picture complexity, we present a picture bit-allocation algorithm for the rate-control of the transcoding process. The algorithm is simple to compute, and effectively improves the video quality and reduces the picture quality variations.
