Abstract

This paper presents a novel rate control algorithm for multi-view video coding. The proposed rate control algorithm is performed on three levels, the view level, group-of-pictures (GOP) level and frame level. In the view level, the target bit rates are allocated according to different types of views with a pre-statistical rate allocation proportion. In the GOP level, the total number of bits allocated to each GOP is computed and the initial quantization parameter (QP) of each GOP considering the QP values of B frames is set. In the frame level, the frame complexity is used to regulate the target bits for each frame. Experimental results show that the proposed rate control algorithm can accurately control the bit-rate to satisfy the requirements of multi-view video systems.KeywordsThree dimensional (3D) videoMulti-view video codingRate controlStatistical analysisFrame complexity
